Before she came out on stage, the band played several instrumental numbers. The guitar player, who was especially good, played one solo with his teeth. The music was extremely loud. The audience cheered wildly when she began singing the first song. The lights focused on her as she sang and danced. In the middle of the concert, the band took a break. My favorite song was called “In the Midnight Hour.” Everyone sang along as they performed the last song. When the curtain closed and the lights came on, we knew the show was over.
