Alright, so today I wanna talk about this concert I went to – Billy Joel in Denver. I gotta say, it was a pretty awesome experience, even though getting there was a bit of a mess.
First off, I found out about the show just a few days in advance. I’m scrolling through my phone, probably looking for something to do, and BAM! There it is – Billy Joel’s playing in Denver! Now, I’ve always been a fan, so I’m immediately like, “I gotta go!”
But here’s the thing: I didn’t really plan any of this out. I just bought the tickets on a whim. It was totally impulsive, you know? Didn’t check the weather, didn’t book a hotel, nothing. Just bought the tickets and figured I’d wing it. Yeah, not my smartest move.
So, the day of the concert rolls around, and I’m scrambling. I literally packed a bag in like 10 minutes. Threw in some clothes, my toothbrush, you name it. Then I’m rushing to the airport, hoping I don’t miss my flight.
Of course, Murphy’s Law, right? My flight gets delayed. Not just a little, but like hours. I’m stuck in the airport, bored out of my mind, wondering if I’ll even make it to Denver in time. I tried to keep myself busy, but man, it’s hard when you’re just sitting there, waiting.
Finally, after what felt like forever, we take off. I land in Denver, and it’s already pretty late. I grab a taxi, which takes me straight to the stadium.
Show Time
I get there, and the place is packed! Thousands of people, all there to see Billy Joel. I find my seat, which, thankfully, is pretty decent. And then, the lights go down, and the crowd goes wild.
He starts playing, and it’s amazing! He’s got so much energy, even after all these years. He played all the classics – “Piano Man,” “Uptown Girl,” “We Didn’t Start the Fire.” The whole crowd is singing along, and the atmosphere is electric.
- He played for over two hours!
- The sound was incredible.
- He even did a few encores!
Honestly, it was one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to. Despite the chaotic journey to get there, it was totally worth it. It just goes to show you, sometimes those spontaneous decisions can lead to the best experiences. I’m so glad I went. It’s a night I won’t forget, that’s for sure.
Even though the travel was rough, and I was completely disorganized, seeing Billy Joel live made up for all of it. It was a truly memorable experience. Next time, though, I’ll definitely plan things out a bit better! But hey, that’s life, right? You live and you learn.
