We fell into free tickets the day of the Baltimore concert a few weeks ago, and it was the first AI concert tour I've ever been to. (We've seen many of the artists when they weren't on AI tours.)
I thought it was an awesome concert, and a LOT of good fun. What I really liked was that I saw 5 year olds, and 85 year olds. Some families looked like they came with 4 generations. Now, where else do you see that at a concert??!?!?
Oh, and Adam was AMAZING!!
As far as songs that people knew, I recognized just about all of them- most of them are current hits on the radio!
