Took my parents and my best friend to see Josh perform at Tanglewood in '03. Had a ball helping everyone with setting up. Made a wonderful banner to commemorate the event and later gave it to MIConnie (We miss you!). My parents were SO excited to turn around in their seats at our tent to see Josh pulling up in a golf cart right in front of them. Mom about fell off her chair. It was great to have Josh come and chat with us after the concert. It really made us feel important and special, and Lisa's daughter hugging Josh's leg was so freakin' cute! I loved meeting so many of the people that I had only known by their posts and I hope some of them stay on with me through the years to come.

Josh seems to come to Cleveland in the winter,meaning snow,ice etc. We worry all day that we may not be able to get there, fortunately we never missed him. Come in the Spring Josh.

I attended a concert for The Closer concert tour on March 17, 2005 in Phoenix, AZ. I had never seen a performer connect so well to the audience as Josh did that night. He actually allowed fans to come to the edge of the stage to hand him gifts. He noticed and read out loud signs fans were holding. He took breaks between songs and spoke to the audience, making jokes and making everyone very comfortable. He made me feel like I knew him personally. It wasn't like any concert I had ever experienced in my life. I wished that I could have gotten a backstage pass and met and talked to Josh. I knew he would be very easy to talk to and I had so many questions I wanted to ask him having to do with music, since I am a singer/musician too. Well, I didn't get that backstage pass, but I got something else that was almost like having one. At one point in the concert, it got extremely quiet in the arena as Josh started to do an intro for the next song he was going to sing. As I was listening to him starting the intro I realized I could communicate with him from the audience, though he couldn't possibly see me because of the bright lights in his eyes even with me sitting in the 2nd row.

I went to the Seattle concert in August of 2007 for an early 18th birthday present. I had saved money ever since the CD came out because I was determined to go to the concert. Let's just say it was worth it! It was probably one of the best nights on my life. It was hilarious though, there was this girl there in line who was sooooo funny. She was quizzing my mom on all these random JG facts and swore to us that the security guard was going to let them past to go to Josh's dressing room (he didn't). Anyways, this same girl went up to the stage during the concert and gave Josh something. When he shook her hand she passed out. Josh made fun of her the rest of the night. I laughed. His recorded music doesn't even compare with hearing it live.
