I have always wanted to see Alan Parsons live and stumbled across tickets to the sold out show on Ticketmaster…must have had some late releases or something, but but definitely lucked out.
The show was a Friday night in Bow Washington which is about 80 miles north of Seattle where I worked so I knew I would have quite a drive through some of the worst traffic the area has…not unexpectedly, it took almost two and a half hours to get to the Skagit Casino. I gave myself plenty of time and got there in time to eat dinner at their restaurant called Encore. It was actually quite good. The filet mignon was an incredible piece of beef and was prepared perfectly.
The show started a little after 8:00pm. The band seemed to be short on energy, but the music was awesome and I loved to see and hear all the songs that I have loved to listen to on various media throughout the years live. I particularly loved seeing and hearing the perform Damned If I Do, Don’t Answer Me, Time, Breakdown / The Raven, I Wouldn’t Want to Be Like You, Prime Time and my favorite of the night, Eye in the Sky.
Definitely a show that I was glad to be able to see.
