Beale Street Music Festival

Memphis, Tennessee

The Red Voodoo Tour

Just made it back from Memphis—only an 11 and half hours from
Cleveland!!! Spent 23 hours in Memphis and 23 on the road!! More than worth it!!!! Went to the show with Kari(New Orleans)–she works for thecompany that booked the show–so we had back stage passes!!! She finally got to meet THE MAN!!

We got there around 8:00 and finally got to see him around 10:00!! Kari was wearing her yellow Cabo shirt–Sammy of course said “hey nice shirt!”—he hung out with her for a few minutes and took a picture with her—he was so cool, there other people buggin him but he took his time and made sure she got her picture!! He
had his redrocker.com shirt on–he didnt see that I had mine on too, so I pointed it out and said I liked his shirt too—he high fived me and I said “oh cool–man its kind of embarrasing though!! He of course noticed my yard glass–and once again–shared his Waborita–he just happened to have one with him! I tried to get him to wear the red shades that he wore at the Cleveland Hard Rock–he put them on for a second but he said
he would be able to see anything out there!!

He stuck around for a few minutes to sign a few things people were shoving in his face–I didnt get anything signed—I hate asking for anything–just hangin with him for a second is plenty!! Once again the man was amazing–he really went out of his way just to say hi to a couple of fans. Of course Kari and I were able to work our way up to the front row for the show—the show was unbelievable!!!

I have to agree with the comment that the sound was
perfect throughout the show!! Definitly was pumped the hear him open up with CW again–wasnt sure if he would cause if the 1st show. “Top of the World” sounded perfect–Vic was really on it!! I really loved the little twist he puts on Eagles Fly–a little more rockin towards the end—it was a great way to end the show!! 25 more days till Cleveland!!! Sammy—-thanks again for going out of your way for a couple of
RedHeads!! See ya in Cleveland!!
