My favorite radio station resumed their annual winter concert Alice Winterland this time, so I bought tickets for all of us as the boys had never gone to a concert.  We arrived at good time; we were able to walk around the food area and grabbed something to eat before we went to our seats.  The location of our seats to the stage was great, however we were right next to the staircase for the floor seating, thus we had to deal with the constant stream of people.  We hung out for a bit, then the show began.  For this show, the last minutes they added two more singers, thus it was a packed lengthy show.  The performers in order of appearance were Lizzy McAlpine, Matt Nathanson, Kelsey Ballerni, John Mayer and One Republic.  Most performers had 30 minutes, John Mayer had 50 minutes and One Republic had 55 minutes.  I am not familiar with the two new added singers, and the others also sang many songs that I never heard of.  But overall the show was entertaining.  When it was time for John Mayer, he had drawn major attention from the crowd which was fun.  I did wish that he played more of his well known songs. Finally when the last band One Republic came on, the crowd was excited.  Their songs were most familiar to us.  We wished that we had brought ear plugs as the sound was loud especially with the last band.  After a few songs, the volume was so loud and it was already close to 10:30 (3 hours into the show), we decided to head out.  We had fun and it was a good experience for the boys that night.
