Instead of just listening and watching on the big screen, I could actually see the band, the piano player, the guitar player, and Michael.  He was interacting with the crowd, the people on the first row, and this cute little girl off to my left.  What a blast!  I knew almost all the songs he played, and it was just so much fun.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike the past few concerts we&#8217;ve been to, this one wasn&#8217;t too loud.  I didn&#8217;t even need my earplugs!

I have been RUINED.  Ruined, I tell you!  But it was worth it.  To be close enough to see him as an actual person, not just a HUGE face on the screen.
