The One with Post Malone

 

 

A few weeks ago, Kiff and I were slated to see a Post Malone concert. As you can see if a previous post, that didn't quite happened because Posty got a little under the weather.

 

Well, we made up for it by attending the concert on Columbus Day (October 10). And, it was fascinating!

 

Kiff and I started off like we did before, eating at Tasty Burger.  Although I have been avoiding bread, I did actually get a burger on this night. And it was good. I also tried their tater tots, which were almost as good as Wahlburgers, which are my favorite.

After eating, we went into huge line going into the TD Garden. Unlike previous years, where I've gone in the side doors, everyone goes through the new, and ritzy, front door. Escalators take you up to a keen entrance on the side. Once there, we waited in line to get some "merch" (scary word that makes me cringe). Then, we went into the concert.

 

This concert was definitely one of the wildest I've ever seen. There were people moving all over the place during the concert. Leaving, coming, and going. Many fans were sending "flashlight" signals to each other using their cell phones. The smell of all sorts of things hung heavy in the air. The guy behind us was angry that they did not allow vaping in the Garden, while the people next to us pilfered Bri and Emmie's seats (they didn't come with us). We had some new family members - or so it seemed.  All sorts of people, young and old were there. An older gentlemen with a white sleeveless shirt was dancing during the concert and turned out to be near two of my students who were also there.

 

The DJ before the concert was good and got the crowd going (and singing). Post Malone himself did a great job. He performed lots of songs, borrowed props from the crowd, and even had a fan perform guitar for them. He also said that he had free t-shirts printed for everyone there, as a thank you for coming back after the canceled event. We left around 10:50, to beat the crowd. And, we were lucky. We were able to get a shirt. I found out from my students that because the shirts were being given out at the bottom of the stairs they got moved or pulled to prevent mass chaos while leaving. So, we were lucky.

 

Overall, it was one of the best concerts I've been to.
