We went to dinner at Westgate to Bar Louie where Stacey was upset she couldn't partake in the green beer. Don't worry, I am respectable and only had two pints. You can't not drink green beer on St. Patrick's Day!
The opener for the concert was Mute Math ... which we rather enjoyed. They were very crazy on stage. The lead played the piano while also doing handstands on it. They played the piano top, microphone and more with the drum sticks. Here's a video from YouTube:
Next, the "main opener" was Alanis Morrisette. She very odd on stage but at the same time very awesome. She sounded better than she does on her albums which is pretty impressive considering she sounds great there. She did a lot of her classics like "Ironic," "Jagged Little Pill," and "You Oughta Know" while also debuting some new stuff. She was pretty good even doing a weird version of "My Humps" by Black Eyed Peas.
Finally, two plus hours after the 7 PM start time, Matchbox Twenty hit the stage and did not fail to impress. MB20 is one of our favorite bands ... we've seen them three times plus Rob Thomas once. We were five rows from the stage but off to the side. They did all the stuff from their new album while also hitting all their classics.
It's crazy when you think about how quickly time flies. We were talking in between bands and remembered Alanis Morrisette was the big "to do" when we went on spring break to Florida in 1996. Matchbox Twenty became more popular my first year of college in 1997. Damn it, people, it's 11 years later already!
