A Concert, Gambling, And A Car Malfunction

I took my "special friend" to see a Chicago concert the other night at Harrah's Casino. It was the first time I had ever been to a concert at that venue and it turned out to be a great place to see a concert. We ended up with great seats with a great view of the stage and since Chicago has been around forever, we were some of the youngest people in the crowd. Chicago is probably the most unique rock band I have ever seen. They had a drummer and a percussionist, a trumpet player, a trumbone player, and a guy that could play the saxophone, flute, and clarinet. Most of their songs are of the ballad type but they could really turn it up several notches when they wanted to. My favorite part of the concert was the solo performed by the drummer and the percussionist. It was along the lines of "dueling drummers" and you could really tell they enjoyed performing together as did the entire band. The band interacted well with the crowd which was good to see and they are all multitalented performers. They also played for about 2 1/2 hours and we got our money's worth. Since we were at a casino, we decided to try our luck at the slot machines after the show. I am not a gambler by any means and a cheap S.O.B. at that, so all I did was play the nickel slot machines. I did win $18.55 which is a big haul for me. When we got ready to leave, we had a car malfunction so that kept us there about 2 hours longer than we wanted to dealing with that but we did get a free meal out of that. We were well taken care of by the people at the Harrah's so we had no complaints with them. All in all, we had a good time, and it was great to experience something different.
