Last night, The Grove hosted the fourth of several featured singers for their FREE summer Concert Series, held in the fountain/park area of the shopping mecca. A friend allowed me some VIP treatment. All I had to sacrifice was a little clausterphobia and impatience when exiting the parking garage (these events draw CROWDS). So here I was…
THIS. Is Gavin Rossdale. THREE. FEET. AWAY.
You heard me.
Shyly sitting off to the side, an estimable twenty feet, was his beautiful wife and son; who managed to shade themselves from the paparazzi with bodyguards and other friends standing in front of their visage.
Though nothing could be more heavenly than the proximity of Gwen, it was a forlorn moment to see her trying to enjoy the show but subtly self-conscious of the cameras. Which, though aimed on Gavin a majority of the night, were directed towards her the moment the backstage crowd separated.
It was a great show. He played a collection of the old, new, and Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide”.
…and closer…
Before Gavin emerged onstage, we were stuck with the Varsity Fanclub. A group of youngsters so young (with a very glittery wardrobe), I wasn’t sure they were even in High School. I cannot wait to show you the newest jazz hands to hit the stage.
That’s tomorrow.
NO SAINTS IN L.A.
