I went to a concert-in-the-park last night. It was just a community concert…no big names, but it was lovely. The heatwave we had endured all week was over and people brought out blankets and chairs to sit on. Many brought their picnic dinner. It just was a typical summer concert!
For some reason, the concert reminded me of a Clay Aiken concert that I attended. Now, the two concerts were very different. The community concert had about 400 people. Clay Aiken had thousands at his sold-out outdoor concert at The Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina.
During the summer of 2007, Clay made a tour stop in Asheville at the Biltmore Estate. The audience was filled to capacity and the crowd had a wonderful time. It was very hot!! But the crowd had fun with bats, bugs and beautiful music.
I thought that some fun pictures and a video of the Biltmore concert was a good idea for this summer day!
I saw this concert in Columbus, Ohio and also Sterling Hgts. Michigan. What a great time we had. That was the only concert where I got to see a show one right after the other. Wish we could have done that more than once. So many great memories to look back on!
Thank you for all the pictures and the video. The pictures and video are great. Thank you CANN.
I also saw Clay’s concert in Columbus, OH that year. How exciting it was! Thanks for the videos & photos. Brings back good memories.
A friend and I attended this concert in Asheville. We were sitting pretty far back when another Claymate noticed us and gave us two seats very close to the front! This is the second time some wonderful Claymate has surprised me with a move up to the front. I love the generosity of our group. It was a very hot night but Clay was absolutely funny, and, of course, his singing was just wonderful!
