Time for a rock concert! We traveled up the hill to Reno, Nevada to see the band Live, one of Petra‘s favorite groups(learn more about the band). They were playing last night at a casino there, which made for a good excuse to get a hotel room (no  two and a half hour drive home late at night) and also to give the casino some extra money gamble a little bit.

But the real reason for going was to see Live and they put on a really good show. If you don’t know much about their music, get the recent best-of CD (it includes a DVD also) and start there. We’d seen them a couple times before, here in Sacramento and more recently at Milwaukee’s Summerfest about five years ago (with friends Dean and Debbie). For last night’s show, they played most of their many hits and fan favorites, as well as a new song and the two studio tracks off their recent live album. From where we were standing at first, we were super-close, right at the stage, but from there the sound was guitar-heavy in the mix. A little later we moved back a little bit and to the middle and then the sound was really good. Lots of good music, a less-than-full but very enthusiastic crowd, and big loud fun. Yeah!

If you’ve seen Live live 😉 or just have an opinion, drop me a comment below.
