A Great Evening

I saw Lyle Lovett and John Hiatt in concert last night at the Historic Rialto Square Theater in Joliet, IL. The theater is amazing!! It was like sitting inside of a rare jewel...and Lovett and Hiatt were having a great time. the pictures just don't do it justice. Check out the history-it was going to be demolished for a parking lot!! ONE WOMAN called everyone she knew and the enthusiasm took off.

Of course there had to be one die-hard "john" fan that would constantly yell out things, "Thanks, John" as if he personally knew the guy and at one point while Lovett was talking the same guy shouted something and Lovett stopped, looked up an said, See, that is the problem, we can't hear you when you talk when I am talking..." The crowd laughed and clapped and Mr. Call-out-a-song finally shut up.

All in all a great evening.

The theater pictures look lovely. Not bad digs for a burb.

We had the same jerk at the Kathy Griffin show in December. She too told him to shut up, but far less gently than mild mannered Lyle.
