The first time we saw Murs will probably just always be my favorite concert. That and when we saw Nas at Bumbershoot and I got hit in the head with a toilet paper roll. I’ve been pretty excited to see Murs again, especially since I missed him at Rock the Bells. Tonight’s concert was good. Kidz in the Hall opened and did their thing. A dude named Isaiah opened and did his thing. And his thing includes grabbing people, caressing their hair, and even shaking them. Murs did a lot of his songs about girls, and he shared the stage with a guy named Verbs. I enjoyed hearing him do “L.A.”, but I didn’t enjoy the two girls behind me apparently screaming directly in my ear the entire time. I’m glad he’s gotten bigger, and I can’t imagine that kind of grueling tour schedule. Tomorrow he performs in Montana. And within the next week he’s also in Sioux Falls, Omaha, Des Moines, and Minneapolis. Thirty-three shows from tomorrow through December 11. I probably won’t even post 33 times in that time.
