our summer concert fun

Every summer Salt Lake has a free concert series they do, and this year we saw two shows there in addition to two other concerts we got tickes too. The first concert of the summer was Modest Mouse, which we took all the kids with us and JoAnn, Jayde and Kenya. The night started out good and we all really enjoyed the opening band. It started to get a whole lot more crowded and Zoe needed to go to the bathroom, and Nate started having an asthma attack. I took the two of them with me and headed over to the bathrooms while Dean, Max and Liv waited for JoAnn to come back. Long story short, it wa super crowded, we ended up seperated for the entire time the band was playing and met back up at the car with very frightened children. Now the girls are a little nervouse about concerts now.
A week later Dean and I were lucky enough to take the boys to see Paul McCartney. It was an amazing show! We had so much fu and the boys were in awe the whole time. The two of us saw him about a year and a half ago in concert, but it was great to be able to share such a wonderful experience with the boys. They both really liked the Beatles before, but now they can't get enough of them.
The next show was We Are Scientists. These guys we had also seen before(at the same music festival with Paul McCartney). They were so much fun to see in a small venue, and we were right in the front. I even had my picture taken with Keith(the one in the white shirt).
A few weeks Later Dean and I went and saw Gogall Bordello and Primus.
This was another amazing concert. Dean has waited many years to be able to see Primus, and couldn't pass up the opportunity when tickets went on sale. Like other shows we have gone to in the past, we like to get familiar with the opening band. This band turned out to be Gogall Bordello, a type of gypsy punk, and they were so much fun to watch. They are one of our new favorites in the Krzymowski house.


We ended our summer of concert fun with the other free show. This one was a little more calm than the last free concert, and we only took the boys with us to this one.
She & Him was great, they play flok music and the lead singer is also an actress.

What a great summer of fun music and experiences to last a life time.
