On this past Saturday we met
up with three friends for a con-
cert up in The Woodlands.
It is not something we can do
often. With my husband's work
schedule, it is tough to plan any-
thing in advance. He actually
took two vacation days to ensure
he could go to this one.
The Cynthia Woods Mitchell
Pavilion in The Woodlands is a
great place to see a concert. We
bought lawn tickets for $20,
rented lawn chairs for five bucks
each and had a great, great time.
It was an interesting group.
One of the friends, Denhis, is a
longtime friend of my husband.
They have known each other
since the late ’70s. The other
two, Ken and Linda, are old
Conroe friends of mine, and I’ve
known this couple since about
1975.
We all share a love of music. 1 j
The concert featured the Steve
Miller Band as the headliner
with blues artist Johnny Lang
and Delbert McClinton as the
openers. We knew it should be
excellent music and that proved
to be true. Each artist was just as
good as we had hoped they
would be; there were no disap-
pointments.
Delbert McClinton is not
exactly a regional favorite but
certainly not a top-of-the-pops
kind of artist. He has a huge fol-
. lowing among bikers, blues
lovers and his music ranges from
blues to rock to a bit of couptry.
His band has a great brass sec-
tion.
Johnny Lang, a blues guitar
prodigy that we first heard when
he was just 15 years old, is now
25 and just getting better and
better.
As a kid, Steve Miller learned
guitar techniques from Les Paul
and great artists who came to
visit his parents. He has a long
list of chart-topping hits and
great albums. I really did not
realize just how many of his
songs I had sung along to on the
car radio and stereos over the
years until he played them in
succession at .the concert. I think
I knew every word to every
song. The entire audience
seemed to know them and we all
sang along. It must have made a
huge roar.
In my younger days 1 went to
many, many concerts with a
group of friends that often
included Ken and Linda. Music
was a big part of our lives. The
■stereos were always playing in
our homes. Forced to choose
between giving up our stereos or
our televisions, there would have
been no contest — the TV
would have to go.
We went to a lot of concerts in
those days — tickets were a lot
cheaper then. It would be easier
to list the bands I did not see
than try to come up with a list of
those I did see in concert. Those
concerts could getpretty wild.
The biggest difference
between those concerts of old
and the show on Saturday was
that the level of chemical enter-
tainment was greatly reduced.
There was no smell of marijuana
in the air. There were a lot of
adult beverages consumed, but
we only saw police and security
officers carry away one person
who had passed out. The $7
price tag for beer might be
responsible for that.
We witnessed no fights, saw
no one falling down.(though
there was a lot of stumbling) and
saw no one vomiting and believe
me, there was a lot of vomiting
at many of those old concerts.
So here’s the roundup:
• Concert ticket - $20.
•Chair —$5.
• Beverage — $7.
• Getting together with good
friends to hear greafmusic in ap
excellent venue absolutely
priceless. •
