Rob Thomas

On Oct 27th Mike and I joined Sara and Matt for the Rob Thomas concert at Magness Arena on the campus of DU.  We had dinner at the Blue Bonnet beforehand and then navigated our way to the show in the snow/rain.

The opening band was Carolina Liar.  You would know their song “Show me what I’m looking for”, but I’m digging their song “California Bound”.  I haven’t bought it on iTunes yet, but it’s on my list.

They played for 30 minutes or so and then OneRepublic came on.  They were great and the lead singer and another band member grew up in Colorado Springs so there were various shout outs, especially for the Broncos who were still undefeated at that time.

Here’s a quick video that we grab on my camera.  The song is “Apologize” which sounded AWESOME live.

The highlight of the evening was Mr. Rob Thomas.  He’s played a great show – almost 2 hours long.  He interacted with the crowd and sang like a mad man.  I already have all his music, but in addition to that I now have this picture of him…he is one fine looking man.

Special thanks to Sara for getting us fan club tickets which happened to be in the 21st row on the floor.  Very cool.

Also, here’s a tweet that I sent to Rob that night:

Hey @ThisIsRobThomas sing me a song! I’m in the center section on the floor in the 21st row in seat #12.9:17 PM Oct 27th from Echofon

Unfortunately he didn’t acknowledge me during the show.  Maybe next time!
