"I attended the concert in Auburn Hills on May 22nd, and boy am I upset
that it is over. I managed to get third row tickets to this event, closer
than any of the previous 3 concerts I attended. The show started with the
traditional excitement of Leahy. Up close, you can really see how fast
those fingers move on the fiddles. Amazing. Roughly 45 minutes later the
soothing voice of Shania came over the loud speaker. "Are you ready Detroit?"
Duhhh, of course we are ready. Three sheets covered the drums, slide guitar,
and keyboards, and you couldn't see anybody underneath them. Shania breaks
into "Man, I feel like a woman" without appearing on stage. Where could
she be? After the first set of lyrics, a big bang with the sheets flying
off of the instruments introduces Shania to the stage from underneath the
center sheet. Now I have seen Shania in concert 3 times previous, but never
this close. This woman is the most unbelievably georgous woman in the world,
hands down. So she gets into her usual show, coming out on the extended
T, within feet of myself. Of course I think she is making eye contact with
me, so I wave and I get a wave back. After her first song, she brings a
7 year old boy up on stage that was sitting directly behind me. He has
for her a Detroit Red Wings jersey with Shania on the back and a #1. She
talks with him, takes a picture and signs it. I got to take a look at it
and boy was I jealous. So again and again she sings, walks around, signs
a ton of autographs (No, I didn't get one, was a row too far back. DOH!)
Then, she calls down two girls waving one of those Star Wars sabre's from
way up in the upper deck. They made a tape of them singing "Any Man of
Mine" and gave it too her, so she made them sing up on stage. And they
didn't do too bad of a job, very energetic. During a break between songs,
she pointed out one of her roadies who had on a Toronto Maple Leafs shirt
on. The crowd didn't like that too much, so they started chanting "Let's
Go Red Wings, Let's Go!" Now I am not a Red Wings fan, but it was cool
to hear because the whole stadium was doing it, and Shania got a big kick
out of it. She did cut out about 5 songs, which was a little disappointing,
but the ones she did sing were perfect. I have read other people state
that her voice wasn't as good, but I thought it was excellent. Her first
outfit was the best, a black tight tank top with two vertical white stripes
around her stomach area and leather pants. I was disappointed I didn't
bring a camera in, because everybody and their mothers had one even when
it said no cameras. And the security guards saw them and didn't take them.
I did see some people with backstage passes which really sat well with
me. Anyways, the night ended short with "Rock This Country" and without
bringing out local talent to sing "What Made You Say That". I can imagine
she is getting pretty darn tired, but she had a ton of energy while in
Detroit. The good thing about her going off the road is that she will be
resting in Florida, roughly 15 minutes away from where I live. And I play
golf there all the time!! Maybe I will see her on the links :). All in
all, it was a good night, and I am glad I travelled up there, but was disappointed
in not getting an autograph. Owell, guess you can't have everything. Take
care and thank you Shania, you Rock!!!!"
