Heart at Blossom

 On the morning of August 4 Tom and I were still vacationing in Bear Lake, Michigan. But we knew we had a big day ahead of us and we needed to be at the Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio by 6 pm.  We planned to meet Don and Pam Beery ... who, by the way, had our tickets.

 We were rerouted by Android Auto due to an accident on I-23 and had to make a detour towards Detroit. Even so, we arrived on time ... even early (about 5:15 pm). And then we waited. It turns out the the Berry's had accidents to contend with, too. Two of them. They didn't arrive till nearly 8:30 pm. The concert began at 7 pm.

 We spent the late afternoon sitting in the car and watching the parking lot fill up. And quite a crowd it was!

 Tom was bored enough that he began collecting sticks and building a sculpture on the ground...

 While we waited (we couldn't get access to the concert because we didn't have the tickets), we listened to Elle King in the far distance but couldn't really make out a thing. Later, when we walked close to meet the Beery's we were able to hear Joan Jett quite clearly ... but we only got to see her last two songs.

Joan Jett - Everyday People

 We pretty much arrived in our seats just as a long intermission began. The stage was being set for Heart. At least we arrived for the headliners.

 In the distance Heart performs. Both Ann and Nancy Wilson were terrific!

Heart - Stairway to Heaven

 I suppose they played until about 11 pm and then the mad exodus began. We walked to our car (passing two men who were peeing through a chain link fence while throngs passed by) and sat there till nearly 1 am. We arrived home at 4:45 am and was in bed by 5 am. I slept till 9:30 am and Tom got up about 11 am.

Tom found this ticket on a seat after the concert

 Thus ended our vacation.
