ok cute story So for rockmed last night I was at the Jonas Brothers, anyone ever hear of these guys, they are right up there with Hannah Montana and they are sponsored by Disney !!!!! So we give free earplugs at all shows and last night we went through over 3 boxes, not cuz the music was so loud but cuz the entire audience consisted of girls, ages 7-16, screaming in a high pitch constantly. Our patients consisted of girls that had their seats collapse while standing on them trying to see, some crowd syndromes, a lost child, a few bumps and bruises and one little girl who was quite special. So I am totally prepared to HATE this teeny bopper band, did some googling on them and saw they are teens, raking in the dough, and the girls love them. Went out to watch their opening, saw a great lightshow and all the screamers are singing and dancing and I got a call to a girl who was up on the lawn, and needing oxygen and a wheelchair to bring her down. I went and met her, with her sister and found this cute young girl, on her 16th birthday, with some complex unnamed autoimmune disorder who had her own medications for allergic reactions and a extensive medical history. her sister answered questions for me as we brought her down. She seemed like a lot for us to handle at a concert. At the clinic last night, we had no doc, so I called her parents and allowed her to give herself some benadryl, now this girls allergic type reaction was set off by the grass, the crowd pushing and shoving and stress. It was very upsetting for her then to be missing her favorite band, playing on her birthday, but she was complaining of her hands being numb, short of breath and she was not looking so good. Funny thing happened next, Mr Jonas ..... dad/manager of the boys came into Rockmed and wanted to see the poor girl that was doing so badly. Well not only did he stop her hyperventilating. she nearly stopped her breathing altogether. He expressed how bad he felt for her being rushed by the crowd, missing the show, and wanted to do something to make up for her experience. He then invited her and her sister (and her parents which were already enroute) to go backstage if she felt better and wanted to m,eet the boy. Well she was still not able to go but was already looking better. She did end up going to the VIP section, to meet the boys, and was given pictures and front row tickets to their next performance. She stayed with me for about 30 more minutes, as we watched the benedryl and epipen do its thing, and then we released her to backstage. Needless to say, this cute child whose sweet 16 was nearly ruined by a bunch of screaming wild girls, had the best birthday one could ever hope for and i so wanted to hate them, but the dad won me over, this teeny bopper band isnt all bad _________________
Great story, audrey! Thanks for sharing it!

Planning on Seeing Boston and Styx on August 9th, and ska act Streetlight Manifesto on October 11th. Guitar virtuoso Buckethead is coming to Buffalo, NY on July 28th, but I do not have the funds to purchase a ticket or even the gas to get to and from the show...I'm really bummed about that because as you might be able to tell from my avatar, Buckethead is one of my favorite artists and I've never gotten to see him live before.

Hey there concert nurse! You're having one heck of a busy summer, sounds like a blast. Arizona?? The grandest of canyons on your itinerary? Ride a mule to the bottom...you won't regret it...except for maybe a day or two after the ride. I just rolled in from a wonderful show....it was a gospel revival, country swing, jazz, blues and what ever else you want to add show...and it was just one act...Lyle Lovett! He and his Large band (not 'big' mind you ) put on an excellent show in a lovely outdoor venue with perfect weather. Combine that with a couple glasses of Black Rabbit Red and you've got one nice evening Lyle knows how to write 'em, his songs range from just plain funny to breaking your heart and back again. He even plugged an old friend's local winery, which of course got a nice cheer from the crowd.

Gotta love Lyle Lovett. And his hair! http://www.worth1000.com/entries/26000/26189_w.jpg

He's definitely an interesting looking guy. But he can certainly write a good song!

just went to see Steve Miller at the Gorge and his opening act was Joe Cocker (can you belive that) I wished Paul Mccartney would use a opening act like Joe Cocker but after seeing him.....I think he kind of stole the show. Paul might not like that Miller has great music but when Cocker sang the Beatle tunes everyone knew the words and sang along. He was soooooo good. Really hearing Joe Cocker sing live "with a little help from my friends" was spritual. I actully gasped it was soooooo good. Everyone was having such a good time.. I love my concerts. here a few pic I took I had great seats got them from someone on craiglist a day before and they arranged for delivery (they were 100 miles away how nice is that) row 8 center. I mean you could see the whites of their eyes.

Joe band was great when the sun sets the picture were better. Joe played first. Wish Paul was the kind of guy to drive into the desert to play a gig. I can't see it though. Too bad the Gorge is really a great venue.
-
Tom Petty is coming the 16th to the gorge.
-
Coldplay in November The Wallflowers in September Bob Dylan in August
-

Very cool!! Thanks for sharing. I've never been to this venue but I've read it's fantastic! Gorgeous site (pun intended : ) The Petty concert would be a great one to see too.
