This summer, I had the opportunity to attend several concerts. I have always been a concert lover, but lately, one has to take out a loan to go. The summer started with a show at the Tweeter Center in Mansfield with Rush. I have seen Rush about 7 times in my life, and I am always amazed at the musicianship demonstrated by all. The three were as tight as ever, and the stage show was also amazing! What’s with the Rotisserie Chicken? I was actually able to see the show again the following week at the Mohegan Sun. That was a first seeing a band twice in one tour. Still loved it.

The second show I was able to see was Rascal Flatts open their new tour at Mohegan Sun. I am not much of a country music fan, but my wife is, so I surprised her with the show. I also hear “Life is a Highway” at least a few times a week when my son watches “Cars.” I was very entertained by their energy on stage, and the strong vocals the three of them have. When they took the stage, it sounded like we were at an N’SYNC Concert from the 90′s with all of the girls screaming! Although the show was a bit short (90 minutes, compared to Rush’s 3-hour show), it was still good.

The third show I caught was Josh Groban, again at Mohegan Sun. This man has an amazing voice. The sound quality was great, so you could hear every note he sang crytal-clear. My favorite part of the show was when his violinist took the stage, did a solo, then her and the band broke into Zeppelin’s Kashmir-at a Groban concert-nice! Again, a very entertaining show and would definitely like to see him again.

So, overall, for me it was a summer of great music from three very different artists. Coming up in a few weeks is Aerosmith-can’t wait!
