Attending the 50th Anniversary Concert was a birthday gift to my husband to celebrate him turning 70. We attended our first and only concert at the pavilion about 28 years ago (we live out of state) and had an amazing experience, so I wanted to return to the venue that gave us both such a wonderful memory. All these years later, we were not disappointed.
This time around, I treated him (and me) to comfortable chairs 7 rows from stage center in the shade. My husband was truly delighted with our proximity to the performers! We simply had a terrific time and were blessed to be surrounded by other concert attendees whose company we really enjoyed. Our only disappointment was that our favorite artists didn't perform any of the music that we were familiar with; they chose their new releases only. Oh, well đ.
Thank you, Concord Pavilion team, everyone from the parking lot workers, restroom workers, elevator operator and ushers. You were all so friendly and helpful to us. My only suggestion would be to expand the handicap parking area or provide more shuttles. We had to park in the overflow and walk uphill a long distance, something that was very challenging for my husband.
In the end, we returned home delighted with our experience and my husbandâs birthday gift brought him much joy!
