How sweet it is with James Taylor!

Barring anything unforeseen popping up on the concert scene we've finished off the big shows we had on the agenda.  Chicago & the Doobie Bros., Jimmy Buffett & Huey Lewis and last night James Taylor & Bonnie Raitt.  All three shows were very good and all three shows were very unique so there really isn't a way to compare them.  One thing I will compare, and shame Jimmy on a little bit, is that he seems to be getting a little greedy.  Wrigley Field allows you to bring water into the stadium for Cubs games.  James Taylor allowed you to bring water in for his concert.  Jimmy did not allow you to bring in your own water for his show.  I'm not sure what percentage of the concessions he got but even if it was small he did pretty good when water was selling for $6 a bottle!  Not exactly the way you should treat your fans who have been so loyal over the years!
Now that I'm off my soapbox, about last night.  It was another beautiful Chicago evening. It was actually leaning a little toward the chilly side once the sun went down.  Bonnie Raitt plays a mean slide guitar and has a great sorta blues/rock sound that got the crowd rocking.  As good as she was at Wrigley I think she'd be even better to see in a small venue.
It was our second time seeing JT.  We enjoyed seeing him a few years ago at Madison Square Gardens.  It was an excellent show then and he certainly didn't disappoint us last night.  He started out pretty mellow with "Carolina in My Mind" followed by "Country Road".  By the time the show was over he had the crowd on their feet dancing to "How Sweet It Is".  Beth and I dancing to this song on our 35th anniversary brought back a nice memory.  That was the "farewell to the house" song we danced to when we sold our house in Burleson and were heading out the door for the last time.
An appropriate ending to a fun day!
