Eric Church "Blood Sweat & Beers" Tour at the Sears Centre

Friday Night brought Eric Church and his "Blood, Sweat, & Beers" Tour to the Sears Centre.
The party started in the parking lot with music, US99 and their Bullriding machine, food, and lots of BEER!
Now inside for the Concert. 
First here are my "Neighbors For The Night!
It's a mother, Karlene, & her son, Matt from Orland Park. Mom is a really Eric Church Fan and Matt is a Blackberry Smoke follower. Great fans and new friends!!


Then a college room-mate of Ben Smith of the Chicago Blackhawks, came by and introduced me
 to Ben. Here's Ben and his new friend and long time Hawks fan!
  Ok, on with the concert.
Opening was a Southern Country Rock group, Blackberry Smoke.
