Pink Think: “I feel like I’m 15 and in my first garage band again. I don’t know where that’s coming from, but I love it. I find an even deeper exuberance in playing music and putting on a show. I’m just giddy about putting all this together and giving something to people that they haven’t seen before.” – Keith Urban
Spent the evening with Keith Urban.
And my writer-friend Alice (Hi Alice!). And thousands of other screaming fans in downtown Salt Lake which was part of Keith’s Escape Together World Tour last night.
Keith and Alice and me, we’re like this tight. If you don’t believe me, look at the photo above. He was serenading us at a barbeque. And teaching Alice some guitar riffs.
(Confession: Okay, so that was a cardboard cutout of Keith in the concert lobby, but a girl can dream.)

Goodness, the man is a brilliant guitarist. He was charming, relaxed, spontaneous. And put on a mighty good show.
Even when a rail collapsed when fans leaned against it as he walked among the audience.
My favorite moments: when he sang Sweet Thing (my favorite), Kiss the Girl, and Tonight I’ll Cry. And when he introduced his band and showed pics of them as babies and gave them a minute to belt out a song. Yes, even his guitarists. And when he just made up a song and had the crowd singing along with him.
To think, a few years back, he was the headliner at our local county fair.
This talented performer deserves all this success and more.
