Reply With QuoteConcert Review.... pics & vids to follow tomorrow probably!
Ok, so I was extremely excited for this show, obviously. It was only my 2nd Carrie concert ever, my first time meeting her, and my first time actually being close enough to her to see her face haha. When I saw her in Providence... our seats were SO far away.
I was so excited and flipping out when I finally got to my seat (Side section 102, 6th row)!!! I was worried about how far from the stage they were going to be, but we were literally like 20 feet from the edge of the stage, when she came over to our side she was like RIGHT there and we were making eye contact and she was waving to everyone who waved to her. I know a lot of people here have floor seats for like 5 Carrie shows a year, but this was my first concert EVERRR to have good seats.
Little Big Town- They were really awesome! But I didn't get to my seat until like partway through their first song, as Matt predicted would happen because the M&G group was sooooo big. Obviously it was so worth it lol. They were really fun and entertaining, using all parts of the stage and catwalk. I knew most of their songs, but not well enough to know a lot of the words to sing along to. Honestly I was so crazed from my meet & greet and so excited for my friends to get there (they got stuck in a TON of traffic) that I was texting a million people and freaking out too much to completely pay attention to their show.
Also during the middle of the LBT set, Matt like randomly bolted up the aisle into the food area, right by me and I waved and he remembered me, probably for giving him a hard time and talking to him a lot hahaha, and waved back. People around me looked impressed that I knew an insider lol.
So my friends finally got there right as LBT was ending so I could freak out and tell them about meeting Carrie, yay!!!! Then there was the agnozing wait for Carrie, during which I spent 25 minutes in line for bathrooms and food.
Cue the countdown clock!!! And "Beautiful Day" of course! I won't elaborate too much on every song because I know everyone knows the drill by now, but I have some fun comments about her chatter before some of them & other stuff...
FOTF
Never fails to get people completely crazed and pumped up! Carrie got everyone hooked early.
SH
A lot of people didn't seem to know the words, but I'm so glad she plays the whole song now, it was really fun. I love the jump haha!
Wasted
Got people going again, more people knew the words.
AAG
Ohhh wow the little AAG was so cute! Her name was Sarah, which Carrie told her was her neice's name, and she said she was in kindergarten so Carrie was like "Those were the days!" haha. Then the whole "Do you know the words? That's ok, I don't either, I make it up" thing came along lol. The girl did sing "All-American Girl" into the mic when Carrie put it there, so that was good & cute. I have video of this that came out really crappy but I think the audio is ok.
CD
I just love this song live. The video montage in the background is so cute, everyone was loving it and laughing at it.
Award montage- Omg my friends and I were in tears, and the audience was almost silent they were watching it and listening to Carrie's speeches so intently. Everyone just fell in love with her more and cheered at the right parts.
IYH clip
YAyyy everyone freaked out. Only thing... I felt like there was an awkwardly long gap between when the video stopped to when Carrie started singing IYH.
IKYW
People around me were seriously so amazed with her vocals. And then the rising up thing, everyone went wild and was like "WOAHHHHHH!!!" IKYW live never gets old, it's so bone-chillingly good.
DARN I'm running out of time before soccer lol, so I'm just going to get to her funny chatter stuff.
TMBIM- Hahaha she talked about it being tough to find a guy, and wanting someone to be her "last call", as in the last call she makes at night to say goodnight to. She was like "I use my phone to call my mom... that's about it" lol. And then she talked about the guys at the show having fun, and the ones that were dragged there by their girlfriends/spouses and they were probably clubbed over the head and dragged there lol. But she was like "It's BROWNIE POINTS, GUYS!" It was funny, everyone laughed so hard!
LOL and some kids ran up to the end of the catwalk with a huge "PRINCE CHARMING" sign that made Carrie laugh pretty hard. Something else had her laughing really hard before DFTRM, like laughing reallllly hard into the mic haha but I don't know what it was. She was joking around with her band members a lot last night, hitting and teasing them. It was so cute!
DFTRM- LOL she got sooooooo rambly. She talked about I think it was Mark, I can't even remember now... needing a haircut. She was like "We need... what's that show called... Shear Perfection?" (pretty sure she meant Shear Genius on Bravo lol) And I can't even remember what else she talked about. I have most of the funny stuff before the more generic "We've been on tour all year, we were with Keith Urban, this song makes us think of our families", etc. on video and I'm pretty sure it was a good 2+ minutes of her talking haha. Everyone thought she was so cute & funny!
Okay random but dissapointing- No Elvis move during LN lol
And of course the encore was crazy, everyone was dancing and having so fun! Apparently someone trumped my Red Sox jersey with a BU hockey jersey with her last name on the back. I think the school gave it to her though because no one in the M&G line gave it to her... everyone LOVED it though! And of course the BHC singing was so loud and fun and I got a ton of confetti And some of the band members ran through the aisle right next to me and other ones near the stage lol, with a microphone and I totally yelled the PC lyrics really loudly into it when Ed ran by holding it out hahahha. That was cool! And Jamie was standing on a speaker like 10 feet from us, wailing away!
It was such an amazing night. Incredible experience in meeting Carrie, awesome seats, a flawless performance as always by Carrie. The only thing I didn't love was how much time she spent on the upper, further-back part of the stage because it just seemed so far away. It was definitely a cool element to the stage, but I felt like she spent too much time back there.
What a huge difference it was, seeing her in February and seeing her now. The show is so much bigger and better, and Carrie herself seems more comfortable. She really didn't chat much in Providence but she was her rambling self in Boston last night lol.
My pictures are TERRIBLE, but my friend got better ones I'll post at some point, and I have some videos of AAG, TMBIM, and her DFTRM chatter.
