The concert was on Friday night before a football game on Saturday, so we spent the night after the concert and went to the game the next day.<\/p>\n<p>The Walton Arts Center is a great venue for a concert. It is not so small that the loud music completely destroys your ears but not so large that you can&#8217;t see the band. We were in the balcony and could see (and certainly hear) the band just fine. There is no bad seat in that arena.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;\">It was a great concert. The band started on time without an opening act and played almost 2 hours without an intermission. They played most of their biggest hit songs from the 70&#8217;s. The band has 8 members and the three main vocalists\/guitarists were old, meaning they had been with the band for long time, if not forever. They started the concert with <em><a href=\"http:\/\/sunlightbay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Jesus-Is-Just-Alright.mp3\">Jesus Is Just Alright<\/a><\/em><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;\">. From the response of the crowd, I believe everyone there knew that song. I predicted correctly to Ann the songs they would do for the encore; they were a couple of my favorites that they had not played. <em><a href=\"http:\/\/sunlightbay.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/China-Grove.mp3\">China Grove<\/a><\/em><\/span><i style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;\">\u00a0and Listen to the Music.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;\">I didn&#8217;t listen carefully to the announcement about taking pictures. I&#8217;m pretty sure they said we couldn&#8217;t use flash photography and possibly other filming or recording devices. I&#8217;m just not sure. But, I think it was OK to film a little bit of the concert if,<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;\">lots of other people were doing it<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;\">you didn&#8217;t stand up<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;\">you didn&#8217;t use extra lighting<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;\">you used your phone<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>So, I recorded a video&#8230;<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8U8ISFko7C0?rel=0\" height=\"360\" width=\"640\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;\">I received a pleasant surprise at the concert. When we first walked in I saw a man I recognized. He was an usher, attendant or official at the arena. I couldn&#8217;t remember his name and couldn&#8217;t believe he would be in Arkansas. So, I passed on by. But, when the concert was over, he was still there. By then I had thought of his first name, so I went up to him and introduced myself. He turned out to be who I thought he was\u2014a scientist I worked with in Washington DC about 16 years ago.\u00a0<\/span>I love getting a little lagniappe from time to time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We attended a Doobie Brothers concert at the Walton Arts Center in Fayetteville.
