Osmonds Galore

I want to share part of my experience with some photo’s and audio from when I went to The Osmonds 50th Anniversary Tour concert at Cardiff on 28th May 2008 and for this first post I wanted to share the part of the concert which is ”all Marie’s own”.

 

Towards the end of the first half Marie comes on stage on her own and thoroughly entertains us for about ten to fifteen minutes and not just with singing.  She really is one funny lady and had me in stitches talking about “Her own personal summer” referring of course to that wonderful experience of err -heat - shall we say that us woman go through when we are nearing a certain age (because like monthlies, pmt, childbirth and motherhood just were not enough challenges for us right?).. anywho.  Marie also entertained us with what it’s like to be the only sister of this famous family, The Osmonds.

 

I’m not going to go into too much detail because (fingers crossed I do it right, I am sooo techy NOT!) I will be posting audio for you to listen to taken from my copy of the Live CD I bought after the concert, made by Live Nation and so if I do get it right, you can listen to that whole section yourself, bear in mind this is the Cardiff concert, recorded on the 28th May, so if you were at a different one, there may well be some differences as all concerts are not going to be exactly the same.  I only went to one and so I love listening to this one now as with all the chit-chat included it really brings back the memories of that concert for me.  I will post the audio separately to this post, just in case I make a mess up of it, then I don’t mess up this post.

 

So the part I wanted to share in this post is the section where Marie “gets the men in the audience” involved and picks out a male audience member to come up on stage with her (easy really to spot them in the audience as there are not many LOL).

 

For the Cardiff 28th concert Marie happened to end up choosing Roger who was the husband of Kate who just happened to be sat right next to me so from one aspect it was very cool to be next to Kate whilst she watched her beloved LSH (long suffering husband) go into the arms of the very gorgeous Marie Osmond.  The second of the two photos following shows Roger with his wife Kate after he came back and it shows the picture that Marie had taken of them together on stage just before she let him back into the audience, a kind of thank you to Roger for going along with it all, I think that will make a lovely keepsake for them.

Before leaving the arena I did give Kate my business card and asked her to email me so that I could send her any decent shots I got and I have a few more apart from the two above and would dearly love to send them to her, so far she has not emailed me so Kate if you are reading this, please get in touch with me, use the “contact” tab at the top of Osmonds Galore OR if you think you know Roger and Kate and can get in touch with them, please do send them the link to this site (in case she lost the card) so she can come see this post and contact me.

 

Oh and Zena, the very nice lady sat to my other side, I have not forgotten my promise to you either, apologies, I have not been too well and completely snowed under, so it’s just a bad case of not getting it (and a thousand other things) done yet, but I will

 

Right, I am now going to attempt to post the 10 minute audio section that this post refers too, it will be hard because I will have everything crossed LOL
