I met up with a lady off this board & her husband. She had front side row seats. The Ryman has wooden pews & there were 3 seats in the 1st side row. Well, the person who had the 3rd seat never showed!! So, I got to sit with her & her hubby!! And I actually had an original good seat anyhow, it was 3rd row. So I sat right by the stage. I missed the 1st band, Dirty Blonde due to the fact I was outside by Nicks bus waiting for him to come out. He came out along with his brother Drew. They got into an SUV & were drove around to the side door, which I ended up running to. I got a pic of the back of him going inside the Ryman. Then I went in & saw the 2nd opening act, Joanna. She did a good job. After she was through, they put a screen down & played a Dodge commercial that Nick was in along with some of his song clips. Then they pulled a thin curtain across stage & then he came out behind it & you could see his shadow- the crowd went wild! They dropped the curtain & he started singing. He was fabulous- his voice was awesome. He sang several songs from both his albums, 98 degrees too. He also sang the Led Zepplin song "Whole Lotta Love", and a Stevie Wonder song too. He came out in a jacket then took it off. Then he ended up taking his shirt off. He had a black tank underneath- Hot! http://cdn-cf.aol.com/se/smi/0201d21391/04 He went down the stairs right in front of me & down the aisle to sing Slave to a girl. It happened she was one of the meet n greet winners. She had a cincy hat on an a white tank top that she made- it said I love Nick & Cincy. The crowd screamed. She was several rows back from where I was, so I watched it on the creen up front. On one of his songs he was shaking his pelvis- the crowd went wild of course. Several songs he'd lean down & sing a few verses to girls. It was a great concert, I am so glad I got to go. I took a lot of pics. They never even checked us for cameras. Nicks body guard did tell us to make sure we weren't video taping it. And right before Nick walked down to sing to the girl Tommy (the bodyguard) said don't touch Nick. Oh, I did did get to meet Robbie too. It was a great concert! Oh, for those wodnering, they sold CD's that Nick had autographed, several tshirts, a tank top, posters, key chain & pin, and pink underwear.
