Josh Groban Concert

I love Josh Groban. That really says it all, but for entertainment's sake, I'll tell you why! I was introduced to the vocal dazzlings of Josh Groban about 4 years ago by my friend Amber. I immediately fell in love with his voice and my love for him, his voice, and his songs only grows as I continue to listen to him. On Tuesday night, Amanda, Sandra, & I went to his concert at the Delta Center (okay, I know the name changed but I don't like the new name). We rode TRAX up to SLC, ate dinner, and then joined the billions (minus a few) of people who showed up for the concert. I really couldn't believe how many people were there. And we all got a pleasant surprise when we got there and found out this concert was being recorded as the DVD for this tour! I think everyone was even more excited and louder once we knew this. Anyway, he opened with "You Are Loved" which is one of my very favorites and is a special song to me. He performed every song (I think) from his new album Awake and also did my very favorite, "Remember When It Rained" from the Closer CD. He did 3 encores, which were spectacular! The first was "Canto Alla Vita"(another favorite), followed by "You Raise Me Up", and the last was a new song so I have no idea what the name of it is. But I'm excited for it to be released, whenever that is. In the meantime, I'm very content with the CDs he does have out. Rumor has it he's releasing a Christmas album sometime soon! I can't wait!
