What can I say?...............
I'd better say something else what's the point in posting
I was excited, thrilled and honoured to be at last nights concert. It was so special, the highlight being Lee's first ever performance of Gethsemane!!
But I'm getting ahead of myself.................the weather wasn't as bad as forecast and the rain kindly held off at most points that we out in the open. the venue is stunning and was a perfect backdrop for a stunning evenings entertainment.
Bring Him Home, Why God and The Best is Yet to Come were included in the set list
those and the other performances, all amazing and Laura's voice was stunning, she performed 2 songs from her new album to be released soon and 2 duets with Lee, More than Words and When the Stars go Blue.
Lee's chats between numbers where the funniest I've heard, he said he was quite scared by the fact that he could see the whole audience at the beginning of the evening as it was still light...cue him looking all bashful with some tummy rubs
Later in the evening he said he was relieved that everything was back to normal and he could only see the spotlights
Towards the end of the first half of the show there was a collective gasp round the audience when Lee announced that he would be singing Gethsemane
We had been alerted before the show began by some of the girls who had been in the picnic area early on that they had heard it being sung in the sound check but we didn't want to believe that it would actually be included. He told us that he had wanted to sing it for years but wanted to wait until the right time and he was the right age
He held us entranced throughout the performance and many of us where brought to tears, we were left breathless and very emotional. I had trouble standing - after the spontaneous standing ovation of course - I had gone so light headed and was trembling all over
This will open up the whole 'Judas or Jesus' debate again I think. I've always been in the Judas camp but now that's all been turned on it's head and I soooo want to see Lee play Jesus although I know I'll be reduced to tears over it!
The cherry on the icing on the cake was Lee being gracious enough to spend his time to sit & sign tickets for the massive queue that formed. He looked a little tired, but it was late, and I floated away from the signing having managed a small convo telling him how special I though the concert had been and that I was looking forward to seeing LB next month. He told me that it was a great show and gave me that trademark winning smile and scrunchy nosed wink
Phew! I feel breathless again having thought about it all again. I'm totally crackered as we didn't get to
til 1am and I struggled to sleep as I was still buzzing.
