Aerosmith




This past weekend Lindsey and I headed down to Las Vegas for a ZZ Top and Aerosmith concert. We have been so excited about getting with other adults and having a fun night. So to get the night started we had Amanda stop by and do our hair for the rock concert, our fo-hawks looked great! Amanda was a good sport and also watched the kids for us. So we were off to Mesquite, Nv where we meet the other two couples. Lindsey's coworker Shawn, has a little summer home there and let us crash there after the concert. So, after a few minutes of watching baseball we took off for Vegas. We all piled into Shawn's Expedition and had a great time sharing stories. We stopped at a little girls store first for a little shopping for the ladies, and while we were there Lindsey picked up a few things for Kennedy. At the check out the girl comented on an old picture of Lindsey's, in the pic she had blond hair, Linny told her she was no longer changing her hair color with the seasons, and that she needed to be more mature (pritty funny comming from a lady that had a fo-hawk!).
Our next stop was a delicous dinner at The Cheesecake Factory, I loved the food. We then made our way to the MGM Grand for the concert.
To start off the show two boys were up on stage playing an Aerosmith song on Rockband, they did a pritty good job. Following that ZZ Top came out on stage and played for about an hour. I really enjoyed this, they played all of their hits and everyone was enjoying some good blues music. We had about a 40 minute break while the stage crew set up for Aerosmith, I didn't dare go out and fight the crowd for a water like the others but it gave us a chance to take a few more pics.
When Aerosmith started playing the crowd went nuts! Some guy a few rows below us lit up a joint and we kept smelling it for the next hour. I would have to say the highlights from Aerosmith were "I don't want to miss a thing", "Sweet Emotion", "Livin' on the edge", "Walk this way", and "Love in an elevator". Plus we had a special apperance, Slash from Guns N' Roses showed up to play a song! We went nuts when he showed up on stage... well, everyone but Lindsey, I needed to explain who Slash was to her... hahaha, love ya Linny! It was a night to remember thats for sure. We all were disapointed that more of the hits wern't played, but over all it was a good concert. One down fall was the shortness of the concert. We couldn't believe it was already over, they let Joe Perry (Lead Guitar) sing a few of his songs, this just made the concert worst. I didn't like any of his music, I just wanted to hear some of the hits. Well after being told by Steven Tyler that we were a bunch of Mother #@!#$@ my fun had just about run out. Lindsey and I were ready to go out and ride some roller coasters or walk the strip, but the rest of the crew were ready for bed, so back to Mesquite we went. It certainly was an interesting weekend, I am greatful to Shawn and his wife for driving and letting us stay at their house for the night. Also to Amanda for getting our hair ready and watching the kids. I have to admit that everyone thought Lindsey's hair was perfect.

I agree, her hair is perfect.
Looks like a lot of fun. Curtis and I went to the poison concert a few years ago and CC played some of his songs - far from good. Awful. He should rethink the lead soloist idea. Sounds like you had a mostly good time.
