On Friday, December 28 the final event of Willabration 2007 occurred. An Aly & AJ matinée concert at the Rams Head Live in Baltimore, Maryland!!!

Shannon and I arrived about two hours prior to the concert doors opening. We had general admission seats so we wanted to make sure we’d make certain to get the best possible seats. And actually I shouldn’t use the word “seat” because there were no seats. It’s standing room only! But who cares? We’d stand even if we had actual seats!!

We were able to get a spot almost in the front row behind the small security fence that blocked access to the stage. But we were still so very close to Aly & AJ! In the four Aly & AJ concerts we’ve attended, this is the closest we’ve ever been!! We couldn’t believe how lucky we were!! Now if we could’ve only met them. Other people at the concert were able to score meet’n'greets. But we haven’t been so lucky yet.

Being from California, Aly & AJ told the crowd how they weren’t used to the cold weather of Maryland. They also applauded the audience for their enthusiasm and energy. Shannon and I were definitely bring both!!

Aly had trouble in the beginning with her guitar. She had accidentally muted herself. It was a funny scene as she was trying to resolve the issue. AJ gave her a hard time about it, but in a friendly way.

Their drummer was hilarious! During the band introductions and after his drum solo, he stood up and flexed excitedly. Too funny!! Then after Aly & AJ left the stage, he kept motioning with his hands to get the audience louder so the girls would return for an encore.

They played “Greatest Time of Year” which is on their Christmas album and can be heard on the Santa Clause 3 soundtrack. We’ve never heard that in concert before. And they played lots of songs from their current album, Insomniatic, including their awesome single “Potential Break Up Song”

One of the most exciting parts of an Aly & AJ concert is when they dance! We were on the “AJ side” of the stage, so I was really only able to get AJ during the dancing part of “Like Whoa”. But it shows AJ’s fun side…and the energy that both girls bring to their music…and why Shannon and I love Aly & AJ so much!!! They are so much fun in concert!!! I can’t wait for the next one!!!
