A life long music/concert questions was answered for me this Lockn weekend thanks to Melvin Seals/JGB. First off, it was my favorite set of this just unbelievable weekend. Ive always asked myself if the performers are having as much fun onstage and really feeling those special moments we are all feeling and hearing. I cant tell you how much I was feeling this set and looking up and seeing the smiles and emotions of these guys onstage. Couldnt stop staring at the backup singers(when my eyes werent close deep in the zone) and seeing how much they were in to it dancing just like all of us and smiling from ear to ear. Bout halfway thru set, I said to my friend Jen, look at how much fun those girls are having! And then it happened, at the same time we both looked up, I saw the girl in the red turn to the other girl and read her lips perfectly as she brushed her arm and said, “oh my god(with the biggest smile) I have goosebumps!!!” I will never forget that moment as I think I had the same goosebumps and it was just unbelievable timing that I had to tell my friend how much fun you guys were having and us both looking and reading her lips so perfectly just at the right time!! My question was answered how much fun you are having, not just amongst yourselves, but WITH us!!!( the crowd, the fans of the music) I now get goosebumps everytime I think of that moment and so glad I got someone elses attention so she could see what I saw! WE laughed and danced for the net 1/2 hour!! Thank you Melvin and your full of energy, in the “zone” singers!! Il never forget that! thanks for playing the music, but most of all feeling the music night in and night out!! Hopefully see you at Wanee/Lockn and anywhere in between, and def bring the girls!!!
