Another live music weekend

Caught several shows this weekend. Good ones, too. Checked out Red Wanting Blue opening for the Nadas (first, below) off a tip from a friend. Good stuff, sort of Carbon Leaf meets Blue October meets Matchbox 20. The Nadas were the Nadas and satisfied their faithful hometown fans as always. The next day Loites nursed me back to health so we could catch John Mayer in Omaha (3rd and 4th below). First time for seeing one of my favorite artists, and it was great. Good song selection, the encore featured a solo electric set of Bold As Love, Wait Till Tomorrow, and few others and ended with the full band on Neon. Cool lighting, the pictures don't do justice. The 2nd pic below is from our hotel room. Staying in a $319/night room is sorta nice. Especially when its its $39.99! Nice find, Loites.

Well, maybe John Mayer stayed there too!!Quite a fantastic night planned by a very sweet person! Looks so cool in the photo with the lights and all. How cool to see him live.
