So we took my mom to see Amy Grant in Phoenix last night. Another awesome show! This one spanned her 30 year career with earlier songs like: "El Shaddai", "Thy Word", "The Things We Do For Love", "Sharaya," "If These Walls Could Speak,"(the guy on keyboards is so fantastic he'll bring a tear to your eye on this one...), "Stay For A While," to later ones such as: "Simple Things," "Come Be With Me," "After The Fire," "Eye To Eye," and the ever-popular: "Baby Baby," "I Will Remember You," "Big Yellow Taxi," "Good For Me."

Her band members each did a song..."sweet home alabama", ...that is the only one I can remember...Katie's gonna have to tell me what the others were. That guy was awesome! He played the hell outta that guitar, OK!

The drummer was from Counting Crows...superb!

Anyway, it turned out to be a 3-hour show with a 15 minute intermission 1/2 way through, where they auctioned off a guitar autographed by Amy, for $11,500! (to benefit some children's thing)

The celebrity theatre in Phoenix is a thousand degrees inside and if you're taller than 5'7" then your knees are squished against the back of the seat in front of you. But the stage revolves slowly ( I think Amy said, "so two songs a turn then?") and that was a cool feature. A bit distracting at first but it turned out to be ok.

Now I wait patiently for Three Wishes...a show airing on NBC late September...stay tuned.
