My Atlanta Concert Review


The concert in Atlanta on July 5 was the best.It was soo awsome.My sister,my mom and I all went up there Friday night at midnight and arrived at our hotel at 7 a.m. Saturday morning.We were staying at the Howard Johnson 20 minutes away from where the concert was.We had to sit in the lobby until 12:30 for our room to be ready.It wasnt worth the wait.The room sucked.It was supposed to be a nice newly done hotel but it was horrible.But,I wont get into that.Saturday we slept most of the day.We were pretty beat from the ride up.Okay.I'll get to the day of the concert now.It was 8 a.m. when I woke up.I jumped out of bed and into the shower.My mom was having car problems so she had to take it to the repair place before the concert.Anyways,I got dressed and ready in 20 minutes.After I was dressed I woke everyone up yelling,"IM GONNA SEE HANSON!IM GONNA SEE HANSON!",over and over again.I was rather excited.My mom got ready then did my hair.She put 6 pink streaks in my hair.It was pretty groovy looking.We were all packed and dressed by 11:30.We were leaving at 12.I called my friend Erika who was also going to see what time she was leaving.We talked for a bit then it was time for me to go.We stopped at the mechanics and waited for the car to be fixed.It took 2 hours.Then,we were off to find the Coca Cola Amphitheater.Once we got into that are we stopped at a gas station to get gas.I saw a girl in a Hanson shirt singing MMMBop.I assumed she was going to the concert also.We got closer to the theater and couldnt find it.We saw a white van with Hanson pictures taped to the window and words such as, 'Tay' 'Ike' Zac' 'Hanson' 'Hanson Rocks' 'MMMBop!' written all over it.We knew they had to be going to the concert and decided to follow them.2 minutes later we were there.I quickly got out of the car and stuffed 4 rolls of film into my sock and my mom put the camera in her shorts.Then we headed towards the gate.It was only 3:20 when we got there.The gates didnt open until 5:30.My mom got in line to get me 2 shirts and the program thing while me and my sister went back to the car to get the blanket to sit on.As we headed towards the car I heard the sound check starting.It was cool.They played a little of Minute Without You and MMMBop then just made weird noises into the mic.It was groovy.They made little grunting noises and laughed and said hi.It was awsome.We all had to stand behind these bars but everyone broke thru and headed to get right up to the gates.The security came out and told us to get back behind the bars or they would cancel the show.So we listened.It took a while for it to get back in order.It was soo crowded by this time.People were hyperventlating due to the heat and the crowdedness.Finally, 5;30 came and they let us in.I ran thru to get a good spot in the lawn.I had a pretty nice spot.Then we had to sit and wait until 7;30.The whole time,Ike Tay and Zac kept running out the backstage doors and peeking or opening the stage doors to make us scream.It was funny but cool too.Then 7;30 came along and Admiral Twin came out on stage.They were awsome.They played a set of 5 songs.I dont remember the names tho.After they were done they started to put up Hansons instruments and dropped a big silver curtain.30 min later,I heard breathing in the mics.I knew it was hanson and so did everyone else because they started screaming.Then,the moment I was waiting for came,the sound of the bass guitar starting 'Gimme Some Lovin' and they dropped the curtains.Ike had on a dark grey shirt and grey leather pants.Zac was wearing a red and black shirt and blue pants.Tay was wearing tight black pants and a shirt.At first he had on one shirt Im not sure of the color but then before I Will Come To You he took it off to reveal his tight white tee.I screamed and so did everyone else of course.The songs they sang went like this, 'Gimme Some Lovin','Thinking of You', 'Where's the Love','River','Weird','Sometimes'. After that song they changed the set into their 3 Car Garage set.They pulled out a little couch thing for Ike and put a little table and lamp next to him,pulled up a little drum stage for Zac and a little stool for Tay and dropped the 3 Car Garage background.Then sang,'Stories'(they dedicated this to the people in the lawn holding a big sign that said, PLAY STORIES.),'With You In You Dreams','Soldier','Money'.Then Zac and Tay left the stage and Ike sat behind Tay's keyboard and sang 'More Than Anything'.It was sooo amazing.After that he turned the lamp off and walked of stage.They put the stage back how it was and they came back out.They then threw water balloons at the audience and squirted people with their super soakers.They then sang,'Speechless'.Then introduced the back up players.This is when Taylor went over and took over Zacs drums.He was awsome on them.Zac just ran around the stage acting crazy and squirted people again.Then went and took his drums back.Then they sang more.'Summer Time Blues','I Will Come To You','A Minute Without You', 'Good Lovin','MMMBop',"Man From Milwaukee'(at the end Ike ran up onto Zacs drum stage and jumped off !it was awsome).Then they said bye and went off stage.People were screaming come back so Zac goes,'You want some more?' and everyone screamed yea of course so they came back.They threw more water balloons and squirted some more then went back to singing.They sang,'Look At You', and then 'Madeline'.Then they walked into the stage and sang a verse of 'Weird' acapella and waved and said bye then walked off stage.People started leaving but we wait until the crowd died down.I decided to go down to the reserved seats to look for my friend.I went to the stage and touched it just because Hanson was on it.I looked at the back wall of the stage,it was like windows.I saw Tay walk by drinking a water!I left my camera with my mom so couldnt take a picture.He looked sooo good.Then I walked back to join my mom and sister and we headed for the car.It took us 20 minutes to get out of the parking lot.Then we headed off down the highway heading home.We passed a limo with a bunch of girls in it.Then we passed a car with like 10 girls in it singing MMMBop.I waved and yelled,'HANSON ROCKS!',they waved back and screamed.That was the best night of my life......

(Guys this might be a little off cus I had to do it from memory.The songs might be a little off to.If they are sorry 'bout that.)
