Hanson
August 17, 2004 - Oakdale Theater
Wallingford, CT

We got to our seats for the show, and we were 6th or 7th row on Isaacs side.

Tyler Hilton was on first and I actually enjoyed him, even though I wasnt sure if I would based on the sampler cd.

Michael Tolcher was up next, and he wasnt too bad either! Yay good opening acts!

AFter tolcher was done i had to go to the bathroom sooo badly and was so concerned I would miss the opening Hanson song, but I had plenty of time to make it to the bathroom and back before Hanson was on. I was able to move up to the front row just for the first 3 songs to take photos for Hanson.net

Isaac came out first, then Zac, who smiled at me, followed by Taylor. They started with Optimistic. I'm not too sure if this was a good idea, being as it is a (Radiohead) cover, and not many fans know the song unless they had been to shows before or like radiohead. It just didnt really get the crowd into it.
They made their way into It's A Long Way To The Top (If you want to rock n roll) which is such a great and fun song, and they did so much better on it then in NJ with Ben in March
My last song up front was Dancin' in the Wind, so I was able to get some shots of Taylor on guitar which is always exciting, as unnatural as it is to me.
The oldie Minute Without You was up next, I really enjoy that song and it just showcases Isaac's voice so well
Strong Enough TO Break I am growing sick of. Give that one a rest maybe boys?
Every Word I Say - YAY! This one was a request at the M&G and im so glad they did it. Its just a great song and it has so much energy
Look At You
The Walk - I was too excited when Zac walked over to the piano. But he didn't do his all too fun for me breathing which was slightly dissapointing. But I knew he was doing it on purpose and this proved it
Being Me - I really enjoy this song
Underneath
This Time Around
Gimme Some Lovin' This is another fun one, especially when Ike and Tay do their blues brothers dance!
Get Up And Go! YESSS So excited to hear this one
Where's the Love - I kind of feel a connection with this song since Hyannis LOL
Crazy Beautiful The whole band was out there for this one, it wasnt a solo, so it was pretty cool!
Speechless - They reworked this one a bit, I like it !
Penny and Me - Sat down for this one.. BOR ING
MMMBop - Always an excitement
If Only
In The City
Lost Without Each Other - I almost forgot about this song! Until they started it then I looked something like this :D
Hey - I love when they have us sing on the off beat. SO much. I dont know why.. And I said... HEY..
