My friend Michelle and I went to the show. We first thought that it wouldn't be as good as it was. Boy, were we in for a treat. He did a show going back from 2007 to the 1950's. Such an awesome show! The band was so awesome! We were sitting five rows out from the stage and it was as if he was singing right in front of us. Artie was so funny too. On "I Only Have Eyes For You," for example, he did a little "Boo bop sha-bob" at the beginning. There were a few laughs. Also, some people came in late after his first song, and he said, "You could take your seats, but I'm not going to go over what I just went over again. Here's what you've missed," with humorous finger wagging. It's so great. After the concert came the reception. Michelle and I were standing at the door to the room of the reception and Artie came up behind us. I guess I wasn't looking at him making eye contact when he glanced right at me. We were waiting on badges to be let into the reception. Finally, we were let in without badges. Then, I went to go get in line to go up and meet him. He, unfortunately for me, snuck out the back door. I guess he had to go. He left some fans lingering to meet him. Oh well. It was a fantastic show with great seats, nonetheless.
