Rosemont Theatre

Mexican Meltdown Tour

Hello REDHeads!!!!!!!!!!

Man the quote the man “Sammy kicked my ass”

I dont know where to begin all I can say that being onstage was a blast. To
see and take everything in from the point of view was excellent. As for the
setlist I can tell you that he did do When the Hammer Falls down, Runaround,
The Love, opened with space station 5, Messed up Your love is driving me
Crazy Because he making his way threw the catina 🙂 But it was cool for him
to do Your Love because I had my sis with me and that was the first Sammy
song her and I ever sang.

Than he Did Give To Live thats the First Sammy song that spoke to me and it
was the first time that I heard him do it live thats my theme song and that
touched my heart so much. THANK YOU SAMMY!!!!!!!!

If you are A Hawks fan we defended you and made Sammy laugh we our “Detriot
Sucks” chant, It was rocking I dont know how Sammy does it evey night with
the same energy, David man you rock, Vic it was nice of you to come up and
play near us, Mona what can i say but girl you rock and thanks for saying hi
to me, Jesse the constant professional.

So my onstage moment well…….While we were waiting Mike could read his
setlist and he said Give to Live and Eagles fly so both Dawn and I were
beside oursleves. So Im ok I toss my Snoopy shirt before Give but I forgot to
so When Sammy was facing us I tossed and it landed on Davids cymbals and fell
so ok, Then he came up and I got my hug I had my droolers shirt on and my
name tag, and Snoopy sticker and I stood in front of him and looked him dead
in the sunglasses he said “Jan” and I got a big ole sweaty hug. So a Few
songs later he notices the Snoopy shirt with “his” sticker on it and his
horoscope for the day and he read it silently and spread it out in front of
Davids drum kit so when i did the march I almost forgot to look and thats
where i saw it. THANKS PAULA AND KENNY.

Nancy, Dawn and Mike, Peggy for making Tonight very special, Next week it
will be a year that Sammy read the chart that I did for him and now its come
full circle.

As for the pre party it was cool to meet more of the REDheads and share
stories etc. it was fun.

Im so out of words right now so Im sure someone else well put it into words
better than I can.

ADDITIONAL REVIEW

I couldn’t have said it better myself, and I actually earn a living trying to
put the right words together as a sportswriter for a newspaper in Green Bay.
Just got back to my brother’s place out in the Chicago suburbs before I head
back to cover the Packers’ game. I’m not as hoarse as I’ve been at previous
Sammy shows —- BLAME IT ON THAT STUPID POLICY AT ROSEMONT THEATRE
(hopefully, Sammy got wind of not being allowed to drink inside the place and
won’t consider going back there) — but I will go on record as saying this
show was the best of the big lot that I’ve seen the past three years. Besides
the quantity (some 25 songs) of music, I absolutely approved of the revised
set. When he blamed it on the Chicago fans for putting him to work by way of
rehearsing the new lineup, there was something genuine from THE MAN right
there. You did right by putting all the “Love” songs together, then going
with the ballads and, finally, ringing the ears of the nice, but older women
serving as ushers (they must not have been warned what was in store for them
when they volunteered to work) by jacking it up at the end with a triple shot
of I Can’t Drive 55, Mas Tequila and Heavy Metal. WOW, what a prelude to the
traditional encore. I was able to chat with Mona afterward, though she did
serve as a diversion out back for Sammy and the guys, who tried to sneak out
a different door. We caught up with him before he hopped in the van, and I
told him to rock St. Louis on Saturday. He said he would oblige, but, really,
we Cubs backers don’t want those despised Redbirds to get even half the
amount of electricity that was supplied to one and all in Rosemont. Thanks
Sammy, Mona, Vic, Jesse and David for yet another unforgettable couple hours
of pure ecstasy. Wish I could be there with you in Cabo next month, but
Packers duty calls. Will be waiting for you early next year for the next tour.

Thanks to Jan and Todd for the reviews!
