SPECTRUM 2007-2008

Row ten on the floor of the DECC at a Dierks Bentley concert on October 25, 2007, was my favorite place to be. I was standing in my spot waiting for Dierks Bentley to come on to the stage. Fans were jumping up and down, screaming “Dierks, Dierks, Dierks.”? Security was standing at the entrance to the pit, right in front of where our seats were. “Free and Easy Down the Road I Go”? was all of a sudden blaring. Dierks came running out onto the stage. Dierks was jumping around, running from one side of the stage to the other. Tera and Brett, standing on either side of me, were pushing me back and forth. The security gate pushed on our stomachs to make sure we didn’t go anywhere. The aroma of Bud Light from my buddy Brett’s breath made me even thirstier. Dierks dedicating “Long Trip Alone”? to our friend Megan Anderson made our eyes instantly fill up with tears. The swaying of the crowd during “Megan’s”? song made us feel like she was there with us. Dierks came running out on the center stage, where we could watch the sweat drip from his face from being so active on the stage. The concert was coming to an end, and the crowd went wild when Dierks came back onto the stage for one more song. Dierks Bentley concerts are my favorite place to be to enjoy my love for country music.
