Friday night, I saw the Indigo Girls in concert. Though it’s been a few years, I’ve lost count how many times I’ve seen them. This time, they performed in my beloved hometown, however, and I couldn’t pass it up.
OMG, I am SO GLAD I went. SO GLAD that I spent good money on a seat in the 6th row all by myself. I’m not sure I can adequately describe what a great expereince it was. I was completely shocked, several times, as they began singing a song and tears burst from my eyes, flooding my face and my tissue-less hands.
They’ve been a part of my life for so long. I think I bought my first tape of theirs when I was 18. It’s as if they’ve been with me through the entire forming of my identity. Their voices seem a part of my consciousness somehow.
When they took the stage, I felt like I was seeing old friends. I would have run up and sqeezed them if I could. And of course, they put on a fantastic show. I guess I went into it thinking, “this’ll be a pleasant evening,” but left the show high on life.
I just love them. LOVE.
I love love love them. I feel the same way- they have been a part of my life for so long, I get emotional when I hear certain songs and I’ve seen them countless times. It’s always a great show!
You captured all of my thoughts and feelings about them. It’s like a flashback on my life when I hear them. I remember exactly what I was going through when I hear each song. I’m pretty sure my 10th grade boyfriend is still enjoying Galileo as well….:)
Aah, that’s lovely! I’m ashamed to say I haven’t heard of them, it sounds like I’ve really missed out!

I’m SO jealous. Just like everyone else, I was 13 when I first started listening to them thanks to Heather. I would’ve been right there with you. Where did they play? Due to the international-ness I have actually only seen them once, at ZooTunes, and would love to see them in a different venue.
