Wednesday night I was the lucky recipient of a coworkers extra ticket to see "BonTaj Roulet" staring Bonnie Raitt, Taj Mahal and the Phantom Blues Band at the band shell in Brooklyn's Prospect Park. We arrived a little late and entered during the lull between the opening act ending and Bonnie Raitt starting. After walking past Keri Russell we found a place in the back to spread a blanket. Bonnie came on and sadly she was the size of an ant from where we were sitting:
But out of nowhere a girl comes up to me and asks if we would like to move to the reserved section up front, that they were trying to fill up the front a bit for Bonnie. She gave us four tickets and to the front we went. New view from our chairs:
Bonnie was amazing and feisty. I knew more of her songs than I thought.
After Bonnie played for awhile "Taj Mahal" came out and played with her. He was pretty awesome and very expressive. They played off each other marvelously and had the entire crowd (all older than me) up and dancing in the aisles. To top the night off I successfully rode the G train down and back, and it wasn't half bad.
