Matt Nathanson at the Beacham

I have always been a Matt Nathanson fan and finally had the chance to see him in concert here in Orlando at the Beacham.  Luckily it's a small enough venue you can enjoy the show no matter where you are at but I was lucky enough to be just 4 rows back from the stage.  He put on a fun show.....must admit that man has a very foul mouth though lol!  Made my night that he sang "Run".  Even though I knew there was a million in once chance Jennifer Nettles would show up to sing the song with him, I still kept my fingers crossed right up until he announced he would be singing it solo that night. Oh well, one can hope right....stranger things have happened :)  Matt did give a very nice shout out to Sugarland and Jennifer so that at least made me smile!  Pretty sure my friend Tammy & I were the loudest people in the club during Run.  We provide some great entertainment we have been told by our friends lolol!
All in all though it was a fun concert shared with some fun friends.

Zac Brown Band concert.....

I wasn't as quite prepared for this concert as I thought I was.  I knew there would be a lot of "rednecks" but I did not realize how many drunk ones there would be.  I think I have become to accustomed to the diverse crowds Sugarland, Britney, NKOTBSB, etc draw so being around the kind of crowd ZBB draws was something I was not quite ready for.  ZBB put on a good show but the crowd of people surrounding us in the pit took away from a lot of the fun.  Five fights broke out in the near vicinity of where my group of friends and I were standing, security having to break up 3 of them.  Beer was being thrown on people including us as people were too drunk to hold their cups.  The amount of shoving and just plain rudeness shocked me.  Never again will I do the pit at a ZBB concert.  I became spoiled by the Sugarland crowd and how nice everyone is and how we as fans are almost like a family. Definitely not the case with the ZBB crowd.  So if I do attend another ZBB concert it will be in a seat where I can at least some type of boundary from the rude, obnoxious crowd that seems to attend their concerts.  Two positives were the good show they put on and the pictures I was able to capture of the band.
