2017 Indy 500-- Part 15: Barenaked Ladies and Steve Miller Concerts

FRIDAY, MAY 26

After the activity at the racetrack, we walked northward to near Turn 4 where the concerts are held.  This is a long walk with a whole lot of people.  It is definitely not for Old Farts like me.  But on I went.  This is definitely a highlight of the whole Indy 500 race thing, the concert for Carb Day.

There is also a concert on Saturday, usually a country act.  We don't go to this one, but sure enjoy seeing those young hard bodies strutting their stuff in those really short Daisy Dukes and then the really funny looking cowgirl boots.  I can tell you two things that just don't look right together and that is Daisy Dukes and cowgirl boots.  Reminds me of someone wearing socks with flip flops or black socks with sandals.  Just ain't look right.

Well, we had a great pair of bands for  Carb Day this year:  Barenaked Ladies and the Steve Miller Band.

The Barenaked Ladies are a Canadian group and opened for Steve Miller.

I didn't recognize some of their songs, but even then, those were good.  The Ladies can sing a song.  One of the first I recognized was "Brian Wilson."

Unfortunately, there are no seats in the concert area.  And, with the wet ground from all the rain and the fact that if you sit down it is highly likely that someone will trip over you.  Much better idea to stand.
