I have had many goosebump moments over the years. It's magic when that happens. When I heard the first chords of Dry County being played at Giants night 2 in 2006 was a recent one for me. It had been 10 years since that song had been played live here. I stood and listened, mesmerized all over again in row 2 right in front of Jon. I swear he sang that song to me.

And These Days on the last Giants night on the same 2006 tour - I never expected to hear These Days at Giants (the Europeans get to hear it but it is practically never played here). AND Wild is the Wind on top of it all and the only performance of I am. What a night.

I could mention Alec coming out to play on Wanted at Giants 2001 - another goosebump moment. I'll Be There For You at the first Crush concert at the Meadowlands after a looong break in the late 90's. As a matter of fact that entire Crush concert in Nov of 2000 was a goosebump moment - I never expected to see this band again.

Hearing Blood Money for the first time in forever in Philly 2008 - it hadn't been played in so long. I knew what it was when Jon was noodling around before he even came to the mike.

The recent concert at MSG which was one of the best shows I've seen - and a far better These Days than was sung in 2006.

I could go on but - that's why I am still a fan and why I am traveling so far this summer to see this band.
