Chris found a cool concert for us to attend. Because Misha gets discount tickets as a student, she and Sam purchased their tickets and Chris got some for him, Kristen, and me.
We drove to Denver on Friday evening after Kristen finished tennis. It was tight timing as we wanted to fit in some dinner before hand.
After we picked Misha and Sam up from their apartments, Misha ordered food online from Chipotle. It was a good thing we got there in the time we did as Chipotle was a bit of a walk for us. We snarfed down our dinner and rushed back to the Boettcher Theater at the Denver Performing Arts Center.
The tickets for Chris, Kristen, and me were "almost" at the top of the theater. It was chair seating and we pretty much had to lean against the padding half wall in front of us to see the stage below.
Luckily, Misha came to find us at intermission and we moved down to sit in the empty seats next to her. Much better.
The performer singing the Queen songs was Brody Dolyniuk and his rock band. They sang some early Queen songs that I wasn't as familiar with, and then some (mostly in the second half) that were a lot of fun: Bohemian Rhapsody. As an encore, he sand "We Are the Champions". So fun.
One of the amazing moments of the night came when Brody sang, "Who Want to Live Forever?" As a Ukrainian, he dedicated the song to the people suffering from the invasion of Russia. Members of the audience turned on their camera flashlights throughout the song and gave a standing ovation at the end. It brought tears to Brody's eyes.
