We have returned from our whirlwind trip to Memphis. The Bruno Mars concert was amazing - I was totally transfixed. Eric danced the entire time. If you had asked me a few years ago whether it was possible for me to end up married to someone who loves dancing more than I do, I would have said no, there's no way...but it seems like that's what has happened???
Anyway, back to Bruno Mars. He is an amazing performer (duh) and his whole crew puts on a fantastic show. We're trying to figure out if we can catch another show on this tour....he's not stopping in St. Louis this time around, so we'd have to figure out where else we can see him before he leaves the US for the international leg of the tour. It was really fun to watch the crowd sing and dance along to the music. 15,000 people all on the same wavelength - pure joy.
We weren't in Memphis long enough to really explore the city, but we did get to see a few different neighborhoods while driving around and it definitely piqued our interest to go back. We walked down Beale St. since the concert venue was right there on the strip. Eric has never been to Nashville before and I've only been there once, very briefly, so I told him we should plan a future vacation around visiting all the significant musical and historic sites in Memphis and Nashville.
I almost forgot! Dua Lipa opened for Bruno and she was also great. Her set had very simple staging, just her and a small band (no backup dancers or special effects) but she had enough stage presence to make it work. Her voice sounded great - she hit a few rough notes near the end of the set but 99% of the time she was spot-on.
