That review made me feel better than I have in a few days. Matt really did kill Albany. I believe the vids of HTH and Georgia were the best I've seen. Does anyone else feel you like you did on Wednesday nights all the time, all over again?

This is the same meeting fans than the earlier. Plenty of room for more people indeed!

Well, I was eating dinner the time Matt came back out. My friend and I waited so long the first time and we were told we missed him by like 10 minutes when we got back. I don't even wanna talk about it. Just very depressing. Oh well. Anyway, I'm finally getting a chance to get my pics/vids up here for you all to see.

Laura, Thanks for posting that video. I love seeing a close-up of him. I'm so sorry you missed meeting him. I feel your pain kind of. I was supposed to be at the 2 concerts this weekend but I had a death in the family so I'm going to miss them both. At least you got to see the show! Are you going to post your review? Tell us how you liked the show - well, at least Matt's part. Hope you had a great time.

Hi - it was depressing because I had been standing there for almost an hour and then I couldn't stand there without getting dinner...oh well, hopefully there will be a next time. Sorry to hear about the death in your family
Oh sure, I will post a review - just posted my pics so I will do that now.

Because of the way the light hits the stage at certain points, I was only able to record Matt singing, Georgia on my Mind, and Tell Her About It, which he performed with Scott. As my friend pointed out to me, the show started when Matt came on stage. It had been a snooze fest before that. I mean the other performers are ok, but I was there to see Matt. She is not a big Matt fan but she said he was "on fire", and I couldn't agree more! He rocked the crowd with his piano playing. He looked like he was really into it, really enjoying his time on the stage. He owned the stage and made everyone take notice of him You can tell that he had fun performing in front of a huge crowd. My only complaint was that I wished I could see more of him. It was a great show and I hope to see him again!

Very nice pictures Laurkat--I really like the first one! You had great seats! Sorry you missed Matt. It is a bummer, I know. I wasn't able to go to the buses before my concert so I missed him too. After the show was crazy but managed an autograph and hi to giraudsquad shout out from him. Never fear my dear--- there will be more opportunities when Matt goes on solo tour and We will have him all to ourselves!!

Actually our seats were in section 103, row A. They weren't great but I have a decent zoom. You went out by the buses? My friend and I waited a short while but we were in the back and no way could he have signed my pic. I knew it wasn't going to happen. Where were you standing? I know - I'm hoping for a solo tour. I'm so there

Wow, you do have a nice camera! I had birds nest seats as we went at last minute and I am too short for the floor seats that were still available. We did not leave early from the concert (I just dont't do that--) so I was right behind the front row at barracades. I really do believe Matt will get a solo tour sometime soon. I would think where you live you will have some good opportunities to see him. I may have to mortgage my house to fly to see Matt somewhere! Not sure he will come up this way for awhile! Keep the faith!

I'm much closer to NYC so I'm hoping that Matt will do something solo. I could have gotten floor seats as well but I'm too short and wouldn't have been able to see a thing. We got outside right after the concert ended. The barricades were already filled up by that time. I saw quite a few people leaving when Kris came on to sing and I had a feeling that they were all running outside. I would have liked to do that but I can't leave during a show - unless I'm catching the train out of NYC or something like that...lol.
