Great show. Crish Botti and his band were really entertaining. Much better than I was anticipating. My husband, who is not really a DK fan loved Botti. Diana is great. We sat in the fourth row and had a great view. She was wearing her caftan and jeans and stiletto heels and looked great. Funny, my daughter got ready for the concert and was wearing a dress with jeans and I was telling her the whole day how dumb that looked and then Diana comes out in nearly the same outfit, lol. That shut my mouth. Anyway, her performance was very much like the Milwaukee discription. She talked about her boys, being a mom, lack of sleep, all the same stuff mentioned. She is quite funny and engaging. Someone yelled "peel me a grape" and she kinda sneered in a joking way in his direction and then went on to do Deed I do. She was very relaxed, there was a lot of laughing on stage as it was outdoors and the bugs were flying everywhere. I wished it could have been longer. They played for about 90 minutes, but it went by so fast. I was so happy she played A Case of You, I love how she does that. The only criticism I had of the night is that Ravinia lets people get up and down during the performance and that drove me absolutely crazy.

Cutes, sounds as if you had a great time...except for flying bugs and the people getting up and down.

Thanks for your report!
