As promised, here you go:
Friday: Blackhawk at the Medina Ballroom.
This may be the 15th time I have seen them, and it never tires. They have two new band members that really make them sound like the original Blackhawk. Their harmony was spot on again and the music was wonderful. We ran into a few old friends that we only see at these shows which was fun. Overall, if I have to give it a 1 out of 10 number, I would give it a 7.5.
Saturday: Lynyrd Skynyrd/Hank Williams Jr. at the Target Center.
Well, this show was interesting. Jessica and I stayed at a great hotel (a little trendy, but whatever) called Graves 601. We went to the pre-concert gathering at Champps downtown and found A LOT of drunk cowboys. Anyway, our seats were great and the opening act (Chris Jansen Band?) was a lot of fun. And then, the fun really started. Skynyrd came out and absolutely rocked the joint! The three guitar sound Skynryd made famous lives, and lives to please. Wow, were they playing to the crowd. A TON of fun. 10 out of 10. The, Hank Jr came out. Now, I have been listening to him for a very long time and prefer Hank 3, but he can play to the crowd too. I was a bit disappointed in not having an encore and he was a bit boring at times, but overall still fun. 8 out of 10 on this one. Have a great week.

Must have been fun...and I thought BH had three new members....either way, I am jealous.
When you say BH, are you referring to Blackcock?
Easy now, my family reads this
My apologies for misspelling Blackhawk. My spellchecker did not catch it.
