Imagine Dragons, Evolve Tour 2017

For my birthday Jan surprised me with a trip to Seattle to see Imagine Dragons life in the Key Arena. What a show!!! But I'm getting ahead of myself :).

After my morning lecture I drove back to Wilsonville, we made sure our kitties had enough food until Saturday, and then we settled in for the 3.5-hour drive to Seattle. 

The hotel was nice, and very conveniently located (just a block from the Key Arena!). Jan ordered some pizza for dinner

while I nibbled on an apple ;).

(I had some bread with salami too.)

Off to the Arena!

We were early enough for the two opening acts, K. Flay

and Grouplove.

Both were rather meh. K. Flay has an interesting voice, but for the life of me I couldn't understand a word she was singing. And the music was too "aggressive" for my taste. I knew some of Grouplove's songs (like Tongue Tied and Welcome to your Life), and I enjoyed listening to those. The rest of the songs they played, though, wasn't quite my cup of tea. That's OK; they're just the opening acts ;)!

Now, Imagine Dragons was a whole nother league! What a show! We were super close (thanks for the great tickets, Jan!!), and it was a lot of fun to see the joy the group has when playing their songs. Great light effects, too. Overall, an amazing experience!








We tried to go up the Space Needle on Saturday morning, but they had just recently changed their hours to 10 am (instead of 9).

Since we were too early and didn't want to wait that long we decided to grab a coffee and head up to the roof of our hotel instead. Not quite as high, but a nice view nevertheless! Awesome trip :)!
