But my brother and his girlfriend went and said the concert was a lot of fun. All three, in fact. There was no way I could have seen that version of FM, but like you, I certainly wasn't hoping they would fail or that people would have a bad time.
I saw them at Kings Island Timberwolf. It was a lot of fun and all the bands were really good! Don't forget Orleans. The beer was flowing.....

Hey, I was at that show! I actually talked with Bekka before the show. She was going to ride that bungee cord-like ride they had. “Dreaming The Dream” blew my mind, especially with the fireworks in the background.

I enjoyed all three bands at the Indy show. The worst part was the audience members bitching(we had lawn seats, so we could hear everything around us), that "it isn't FM without Stevie". But Bekka blew me away, with Dreaming The Dream.

Technically speaking, the best singer, hands down, that FM ever had. And she's still got amazing pipes!

Let's see..so what you are saying is giving a new line up a chance worked out pretty well for you and listening to people saying that the band should just be over since it no longer had their member of choice was tiresome? Hmm...

1. Lindsey and Mick are going out of their way to not call it a firing.

2. None of us really knows what ultimately went down. Maybe they were justified, maybe it was pettiness.

3. I would have been fine if they fired Stevie last year.

I'm afraid of heights, so there was NO WAY I was going up there. It was fun watching everyone else do it. It was going on all day, so it just added to the entertainment factor of being at a concert within an amusement park. Hats off to Bekka if she did it.

Yes, THAT particular song stands out in my mind. She did indeed nail it and the atmosphere only added to it. It was beautiful!

Sorry I missed you! So what else did Bekka have to say?
