Get Closer - Keith Urban at Rod Laver Arena

I know you are all dying to know about my Saturday night with KEITH!  It was everything I have come to expect, and more.  I think when you only perform one night the crowd is bound to be chock full of die hard fans and due to this the atmosphere was insane.  I know I'm extremely biased but I have never heard an audience show their appreciation with more enthusiasm than we did on Saturday night.

If you look closely at the photo below you will notice that a certain person is singing along to 'Raining On Sundays' with AN UMBRELLA IN HER HAND!!!

It was not premeditated but it just seemed the natural thing to do.  The lovely Craig who took these photos seems to think that the gesture was appreciated by the audience but I have no idea as I was so shocked that I had done it that I didn't notice anything except the security lady who kindly waited until the end of the song before asking me to put it down.

All in all I wish it was Friday so I still had it to do all over again - It's a long wait between concerts for Australian K.U. fans.

Tonight's The Night

'Get Closer'

Keith is back in the country and I am barely keeping a lid on my excitment!  Can you imagine how I'll be by Saturday night ?

Expect a flurry of Keith related posts in the near future - don't say you weren't warned.

Very Excited - Nice Work

Finally

I ordered CDs online because I wasn't sure how long it would take me to get to the shops and the little buggers took a week and a half to send them anyway!

The postie just delivered them so I now have this in my hot little hands at last.

You can imagine how inappropriately loud this will be playing in the shop today!

Before you scoff just be glad I'm not playing the other CD that arrived today....

Felt Like A Little Keith In My Day

Keith, Kid and Sheryl

Help For Haiti was a huge success but this was a stand out for me - bet you can guess why...

Yay Keith - Congrats!!!

Loving This!!

I Went To See Keith Urban Last Night

I gave myself the best Christmas present ever, and spent the evening with Keith Urban - unfortunately there were a few other people there as well but he and I knew who he was singing to!

He came and sang at the end of our row of seats and once I had recovered from the shock of being 8 foot away from him I snapped a couple of pics. (hands were shaking so sorry about the quality).

This year two other friends joined me and we decided that it was, hands down, the best concert EVER!!!! Glad there were others there to confirm it this time. (see here for my review of the last concert)

Can Not Believe I Missed This

Lorelai & Keith = Heaven

Somewhere out there is a person who is just like me! I just found a YouTube clip of the Gilmore Girls set to the music of Keith Urban!!!! Where is this person and why haven't we met? FABULOUS.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEITH URBAN

Sunday Rose Kidman Urban

The phone has rung hot this morning with friends checking to make sure I had heard the news about Keith. Luckily the lovely man, knowing I was waiting to hear, posted this on his website....

"Earlier this morning, Nic gave birth to our beautiful baby girl," he wrote. "We want to thank everybody that has kept us in their thoughts and prayers. We feel very blessed and grateful that we can share this joy with all of you today. More to follow..."

So she is finely here, safe and sound, and there is one more Urban in the world which can only be a very good thing for mankind!!!

Congratulations to the Urban and Kidman Families.

Close The Gap

I thought this was pretty cool -

The John Butler Trio and Keith Urban have released the version of "Funky Tonight" that they played at the ARIAs ... all proceeds go to the CLOSE THE GAP campaign (health equality for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders) ... buy a copy on iTunes ...

You can also see a video of the performance on YouTube.
