We went to Michael Buble on Friday and it was a blast. We had chosen the credit card redeem when we bought our tickets and had since forgotten what our seats were. (With credit card redeem you don't print the tickets, you check in with your credit card when you arrive at the venue and they give you the tickets.) We couldn't figure out how to see what they were online either, so we were quite surprised when the usher took us to the center section aisle seats in the 4th row! Yay! It's a great surprise when you buy good seats then forget about it! Especially for such a fun jam packed concert. It was an eventful night with quite a few incidents to make it very memorable.
Wow! What a great concert it was! Michael Buble is so nice and genuine! He started out with Fever, which was awesome. Then did a little talking, and in the middle of it was distracted by a sign in the crowd. A lady had made a very sparkly sign lit up with xmas lights! It was very nice looking, must have took a while! He brought it up on stage and it said "Michael Buble, you are my bucket list, please sing with me" And he did! He sat down next to her and sang Something Stupid at her request. It was adorable! Then he gave her a big smooch on the lips! I was so surprised, I couldn't believe he did that!
Oh, and there was another thing I couldn't believe he did. In the middle of the concert, I noticed a few security people standing in the aisle right by me. Then Michael came down the steps right into the aisle as he was singing. He meandered his was down the aisle right through the people! Ahhh! I was so excited! (remember: aisle seats!) He was coming down the rows facing away from me, much to my disappointment. But, just as he reached my row, he turned around, so I reached out my hand to him, and he reached for mine! HE HELD MY HAND! For the next few steps he held on as he passed by. I stretched my arm and leaned over as he went, and he didn't even let go to touch someone else! Eventually, he was too far and our hands slipped apart, but I didn't care. I was happy the rest of the night.
Another fun part was when the confetti burst out all over the crowd. I remember being at Bruno Mars when that happened and being really jealous that we didn't have seats on the floor to play in the cloud of sparkles. Well, these weren't sparkles, but boy was it fun! We must have been in the prime confetti section because there was so much that the floor and our seats were completely covered. I saved some for a souvenir. :)
Interestingly we were pretty close to the fair grounds, and it was the last weekend of the fair. (Not so great for traffic on the way.) Anyways, they shoot off fireworks every night at the fair, and Friday was no exception. Michael was singing a soft slow song, and in the background you could hear these far off sounding booming noises. He stopped singing, and asked if we heard that. We told him it was fireworks from the fair, and he had the best reaction. He said "The fair! What are we all doing here? We're missing the fair!" So then he was like, lets hurry this show along so we can go to the fair, and proceeded to sing the song much faster. Haha!
Overall, Michael was awesome live. He sang mostly his popular classics with a few more recent inserts (he sang Get Lucky by Daft Punk while going down the aisle). He has a great personality and is very entertaining. I really enjoyed the show!
