Three-time Grammy Award winner and uber-talent Pink closed her incredible "The Truth About Love" tour in Las Vegas last night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, and I was invited to go!
This is where I get all "fan boy" because I'm a big, big fan of Pink - her music, her passion, her authenticity AND her support for the LGBT community.
I had heard from several friends that this was the BEST concert they had ever seen. And now I know why.
From her first entrance, high above the stage, where she bungie bounced while singing "Raise Your Glass" to the acoustic version of "F**kin Perfect" downstage near the audience, to the amazing aerial sequence for "Sober," to her "Peter Pan on steriods" finale that had her literally flying over the entire arena and audience - this was an incredible event. That's all I can call the show because "concert" doesn't feel like it's encompasses what happened on the stage (or above it).
Michael and I attended with Olivia Newton-John, who is a big fan of Pink. So we got to say 'hello' before the show. It was wild to be in the same room with these two hyper-talented artists.
If you haven't checked out her latest CD, multi-Grammy-nominated "The Truth About Love," GO GET IT!
The DVD of this concert was just released two weeks ago.
Check it out on Amazon and watch the show I just got to see. You'll be blown away.

And I mean Olivia and Pink, not me :) |

| Ran into an old friend. The hallways backstage are lined with portraits of the big stars who have played there. Had to stop and take a pic with Miss Vanessa Williams :) |

| Tickets ready! Heading into the MGM Grand Garden Arena |

The production design and staging were fantastic. And those words aren't enough to express the fabulousity. |

So neat to see Olivia on the other side. Know you saw an amazing show. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteJealous! Were others around you aware that the Neutron Bomb was sitting in their midst?
ReplyDeleteLOL... Funny you ask KJ - nope. Everyone was looking straight ahead at Pink. Although at the end of the concert a few friends saw Michael and I, so they walked over to say hello. After about 30 seconds they looked to our left and saw she was with us. Everyone was very cool and low key about it :)
ReplyDeleteOlivia loved the concert. She stood the entire set I think. And only had rave reviews about it after.
Having been an ONJ fan since '74, I'd like to think I'd be cool and low key about it. At least on the outside! :-)
ReplyDeleteRandy - that would have been so awesome - when is Olivia's project coming out - nephew recordings???
ReplyDeleteRandy - that would have been awesome - Any news on Olivia's long awaited project with her nephew's producing/recording? I know Olivia had a tough year last year, so not surprised by the delay - hope it is back on the docket.
