This evening was similar to the evening I described at an earlier concert. The crowd was huge, the place was packed with Beatles fans. Near us there was a table of people in their late 60's (I would guess) who all came in their tie-dyed garb. They had tee shirts and dresses that were tie-dyed and the women even had flowers in their hair (tie-dyed of course).
Much of the crowd spent the concert in front of the stage dancing and enjoying the show. There was one elderly man (dressed like the captain of a yacht, complete with hat) who danced the night away with several women. He seemed to have one lady who was his favorite dance partner and then other ladies joined him throughout the night. Were they a group of friends who had attended this event together or were they just a group of people who found each other that night? Whatever the circumstances they definitely enjoyed the evening. There was another woman who danced alone, delighting herself and her audience. Later a man joined her. I wonder if those two knew each other or just met up and enjoyed dancing the night away to Beatles tunes. The romance writer in me wants to think they were strangers who found each other on a summer night to the background melody of Beatles' love songs.
I love to watch the crowd at a concert. This night there were families, with young children all the way to seniors who probably saw the Beatles live (as I did). There were probably people who were there at Woodstock, or who at least were old enough to have been there. We had a wonderful time meeting up with friends and enjoying an evening of fun, food and friendship.
The night was hot and sultry but the music was sweet and the dancing was lovely.
