Dude, Check Out What We Did Last Night!
Dude, Check Out What We Did Last Night!
We totally went to see Alison Krauss & Robert Freaking Plant at the Oklahoma City Zoo Amphitheatre! Brian met me there after work and we tailgated - he went to a sushi place near his office and got us sushi, then to a liquor store for some Sapporo; it was a wonderful date. I was determined to sneak my nice camera in to the show despite the fact that the gate security were patting everyone down. I managed to do it, though I won’t tell you how. Sure am glad I dared to try, too, because, dude, check these photos out below.
And if you haven’t heard Raising Sand, the album that Alison Krauss & Robert Plant released last year, you absolutely should; it’s mind-blowingly good. Here, in fact, before you look at my photos, watch this video:

I adore that album and I adore them each separately as well. Very nice pics…

I was in OKC last week and saw an announcement of the concert. After reading your post, I am wishing that I had gone! Alison Krauss is a favorite performer of mine, and several weeks ago I downloaded several of the songs from i-tunes that she did with Robert Plant for Raising Sand. My favorites are “Killing the Blues” and “Sister Rosetta Goes Before Us.” Thanks for the post, and for sharing your experience at the concert!

Niiiiiiiiiice. Musta been a great show.
Regardless of what Citizen Neil says, I have never dissed your blog — as a first time visitor, I think it’s pretty neat.
