Maroon 5 at the Fillmore

Last night we were able to attend the Maroon 5 Concert at the Fillmore Auditorium in Denver. It was a sweet concert. Other than being on my feet for another couple of hours during the concert, it was great.

The Fillmore is basically a huge ballroom/dancefloor with some stadium seating on the upper levels and a stage at one end. The seating is general, first come-first served. This means too that you can go just about anywhere in the place. We were able to be about 10-15 feet from the stage. This made for some great pics and video of the concert. I only have a few pics from my phone that I can put up right now, but I will put up the video and other pics when I get home.

Adam Levine, the lead singer who also plays some lead guitar, is a remarkably talented performer. He has excellent vocal range. They played some of their well-known music, some of their new stuff, and a couple covers. They convinced me that Purple Rain (by Prince) is a pretty cool song. We had a great time and still have our hearing since I was able to find 4 sets of earplugs in my car as we were leaving our apartment.

On a side note: You would be wise to never go to a concert without earplugs--if you know the music will be loud. With them you can actually hear the music and not just loud bass and blaring and screaming. Janna didn't have them at the Gwen Stefani concert and had them last night and said she could actually hear the music this time. I learned my lesson after going to a Creed concert back in '99 and having my right ear ring for a season.

Off my soapbox, what a good time. We were able to get a 2nd set of tickets and Tim and Shannon met us there so we had a great time together. I think Tim is the newest Maroon 5 fan. Their music has its own sound. When I try to describe it I think of a jazz/modern/rock. It really is easy to listen to and when I hear it I have to sing along.
