Who cares if we got soaked?
by Randyeasy2like on 8/30/09Colorado State Fair - PuebloRating: 5 out of 5This was a perfect atmosphere for a Saturday night at the Fair -- great rodeo action and the best performing band on any stage.
Even after the rain came -- and came -- and came -- you get the picture.
The rodeo organizers found the toughest broncs, hardest pounding bulls, and the best riders around. And those riders knew they were in for a rough night.
They were.
Great action, good crowd appeal, well run, fast paced -- what more can be said?
The Best of the West from the action packed events to the big screen TV to add to the excitement.
And then . . .
And then . . .
Out stepped Sawyer Brown.
The crowd was taken through nearly 30 years of the best rock and country rock ever, by a band, and a guy, with more energy than a nuclear plant.
Their love for the audience was obvious, and it was transformed into high energy and quality in their music.
We felt appreciated, respected, and loved, and there was no stop to the music.
Even during the 45 minutes of downpour that turned the arena into a swamp.
Soaked us all to the one. No one cared.
And the band played on.
It ended all too soon for both performers and crowd, and after a brief encore it was done.
Funny thing -- Sawyer Brown speaks of the State Fair as if it is his home. Maybe he does that everywhere but it seemed real.
And we are anxious for a repeat performance.
