The show totally rocked. We had 4th row on the side (Martie's side, blonde chick w/ fiddle/violin, hubby was in his glory, there's just something so incredibly sexy about a woman playing a violin). Excellent seats. It was right where the girls enter and exit the stage. We could have touched them if we hung over the railing. We sat right behind the sound board, we could see the guy tune all the instruments, man, do they play alot of instruments, these chicks are talented. We saw all the kids (they have 7 between them, 2 sets of twins) and the nannies. When the chicks left the stage before the encore and then came back, Nat and Emily were carrying their little ones and they didn't want to let go when they were trying to put them down. It was so cute. I'm not real familiar with their kids, but one little guy came out in his pull up diaper with his face all painted (for halloween). It was just adorable. I'm telling you, if you can ever get side seats close to the stage, you see everything. No big curtins hiding them from the crowd, like someone else we know
).
They entered the stage to "Hail to the Chief" playing
They couldn't say enough about Canada. They said "It's good to be back in Canada, and that if the U.S. don't want them, they'll just keep coming back to Canada and filling hockey arena's. Funny but sad
.
The crowd was insane. The floor and the stands never sat down once. It was a sold out show. They sounded awesome. Man, can Natalie sing!
Highlite of the show, "Not Ready to Make Nice". It was about the middle of the set and the first note played, and the crowd went f**ken crazy! I've been to alot of concerts but I have never experienced anything like this. After she sings the ending of the verse, where she says "Sayin’ that I better shut up and sing or my life will be over, the crowd erupted, the anticipation leading up to this part and the crowd's reaction, can't explain it. (I cried
)
I wish I had taken a video camera, but because we were right at the front, the security was thick. Although they were allowing photo's but they were watching for video
(a guy right behind us was hauled out for recording).
Anyhow, here's a clip from youtube that someone else posted from a show, it gives you an idea what it's like when she perform's this song, although our crowd was about a thousand times louder and at the end of song the cheering and screaming and pounding of chairs went on for about 5 mins. The girls were visiably emotionally touched.
Like the Chick's have been saying in interview's regarding this tour, it's a different crowd now (obviously), but it's like the crowd is there for a different reason. Not just to be entertained but to support them and really show their love for them. It was wierd. I can't explain it.
