Imagine Dragons

Can't sleep. Thought I would share some of my latest.
It has been a while.
 I took my 12 year old to his first big show!
Imagine Dragons.
He freakin' loves the band.
I've bought him most of their music.
They aren't in my top 5... 
(Bonnie Raitt, Mumford & Sons, Black Keys, Tedeschi Trucks, Ray LaMontagne)
But I really love them too!
And when I heard they booked at last minute show at Starlight, I jumped at the chance!
He was a little nervous at first. He doesn't like crowds.
We sat in the
VERY FRONT SECTION! 
I totally spoiled him. It was packed, loud and intense.
First we saw Capital Cities. 
Then we saw IMAGINE DRAGONS.
His eyes were as big as saucers when they brought their bass drum!!!

He sang along, cheered... even got him to dance a litte ;)
One of the most intense shows I have ever been to.
 You know that feeling you get when you go to a show, and every thing seems... well... CANNED...???
THAT WAS NOT THIS SHOW. 
Dan Reynolds was drenched in sweat, jumping, screaming, and hammering the bass drum. The bright lights were piercing the darkness to every beat.
All he could say when we were leaving...

 "THAAATTTT WAAASSSS AWWWWWESOME!!!!!!"
