Soul II Soul with Faith Hill and Tim McGraw

I flew in to Newark Liberty International Airport yesterday for a concert trip. I Got to my hotel late in the evening after having to wait in line at immigration and at the Hertz counter to get my rental car.

After a good nights rest and lunch at the local Panera Bread Cafe, I made my way to New York City. Walked around the city for a bit and paid a little visit to the new Hard Rock Cafe on Times Square.

And then on to the Garden—Madison Square Garden that is—for a concert: Soul II Soul with Faith Hill and Tim McGraw. I’ve been a fan of Faith’s music for a few years now. And this was an excellent opportunity to see her live.

She and her hubby Tim are huge in the US. In Europe, Faith Hill has had a couple of hits. She’s probably best know for her single There You’ll Be, the title song for the movie Pearl Harbor. But hardly anybody in Belgium knows Tim McGraw.

And it was a pretty nice show. Faith and Tim opened the show with a duet. Next, Faith took the stage for a full hour with songs from her latest album Fireflies and the best songs for her other albums. To close Faith’s set, she sang 3 more duets with Tim. He stayed on to finish the rest of the show. In total, 2 and a half hours of pure entertainment on an awesome stage. Loved it!

Tomorrow will be the high light of this trip: Bruce Springsteen with the Seeger Session Band in Holmdel, NJ.
