HANSON CONCERT [PIC POST!]
So...most of you knew from my crazy epic flail on Twitter yesterday that I went to see Hanson yesterday! It was an awesome time, even if I went by myself! It was one of my favorite shows of theirs that I've been to! I had a really great time. And I really needed it. There is just something about Hanson's musical genius that helps heal my soul in a way that nothing else really can. And after what has been going on lately, I so so sooooo needed some Hanson therapy!
So enjoy some pics of gorgeous/pretty/silly/sweaty boys! :D
The Walk
HAI there, IKE!
TAY! HAI, BB!
IKE! And a teeny bit of Zac! (Shh! He's hiding! :P)
Heading into downtown GR for the Walk! (You can see a bit of Ike on the left!)
Hi Zac!! Thanks for coming out of hiding, bb!
LMAO IDK what the heck he's doing...
Halfway through the Walk, Tay stopped everyone in Rosa Parks Circle (and interrupted some woman trying to teach an aerobics class! :PPP) to talk to the whole crowd.
The Concert
The bg of their set. Zac is the one who painted all of those pictures on it.

This Time Around
A Song to Sing
Carry You There
Make It Out Alive
Can’t Stop
If Only
I have never heard the songs off of their new album in person yet (duh!), so it was awesome awesome awesome to hear those live for the first time. THE HOOOOOOOORNS. UNF. ONE OF THE BEST DECISIONS YOU HAVE EVER MADE HANSON, WAS TO ADD HORNS TO THIS ALBUM. YES YES YES. And I've also never heard "Madeline" or "A Song to Sing" live either, and I literally flailed and freaked out when they started playing them. And of course I cried during "Penny and Me" LIKE ALWAYS because it is still one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard live. Just gorgeous. And their cover of "Oh, Darling"?!?! OH. MY. GOSH. Zac sang lead on that one and he just...KILLED IT. Seriously killed it. His voice is so powerful when you least expect it. He very rarely just lets go, but he did on this one. Oh my gosh...I wanted to take that song and wrap it up and keep it in my mind forever. They also played "If Only", which is a song that they've played at every single concert I've been to, and I still LOVE LOVE LOVE it. I'm still fascinated every time Tay gets out his harmonica and plays it with his left hand, while playing the keys with his right hand, and also jumping up and down with the crowd to get them into it. Seriously. The man is a fucking rockstar.
Overall...one of my favorite shows I've been to of theirs. Loved the whole thing. It was awesome to hear the new music live for the first time, especially "Give A Little" and "And I Waited".
Hanson is still, after 13 years, my favorite. ♥♥♥
