Recent concert

After 17 years of being Cancer free, I was diagnosed with secondary cancer of the bones, which basically means a recurrence of my original cancer. My husband of 44 years and I decided we needed a "date night" out and we both love Brad Paisley!! He seems to be a true country boy who cares about his country!! So we purchased tickets via the fan club and drove 2.5 hours to get to Wichita, got a beautiful hotel in Downtown and were so excited about the concert. Due to circumstances at the arena and some things that need to be considered for handicap people who still want to enjoy life, some things need reviewed by Brad, not his entourage. I feel that is the only way these issues will be truly addressed. We were so close to the stage, which we were excited about, however, it made hearing the WORDS to the music null and void!! Could not understand a word of any song! Then during the second act, EVERYONE in the rows in front of us on the floor STOOD and blocked our view of any of the performers, even the big screens their image was projected to!! As I said, we are both seniors and cannot stand for 2-3 hours. My feet were so wrecked by chemo at the time, I could barely walk. My husband has severe back problems. To make a long story short, we were so upset that we just left after the second song Brad started and also my hubby being threatened by security (who didn't give a rip that we could not see anything) to get thrown out for setting along the wall so he could at least see. I had left the arena by then. We went to eat and back to the hotel but were so very disappointed. Learned a HUGE lesson though. We learned the hard and expensive way that concerts are not for anyone who is older and disabled. The only other thing I have to say is to the fans who were blocking our view. We paid the same as you did and remember, there will come a day when you are in our shoes. You will love country music and performers just as much as today, probably. I hope that you remember your self centered behavior at that time.

Brad, we still love you and will listen at home from now on.
