Steven Curtis Chapman and Michael W. Smith Concert~The United Tour!!




Ok I know this post is waaayyy overdue but better late than never!! Two weeks ago my dad and I went to a Steven Curtis Chapman and Michael W. Smith concert. They just started their new tour called "The United Tour" together about a month ago. Anyway, the concert was amazing!!! I new alot of Steven Curtis Chapman songs and have been a fan of him for a long time, but I didn't know much Michael W Smith songs. I really enjoyed watching them both. I think one of the coolest parts though, and maybe THE coolest was we sat on the 5th row!!! It was awesome!! Steven Curtis Chapman's family and friends sat on the row right in front of us. His wife, kids, and friends sat right in front of us. His wife was directly in front of me! It was so neat to seem their reaction to the concert. His family doesn't attend very many concerts I don't think since most of them are a long way from Nashville. This concert was in Birmingham though so they all came. As most of you probably know Steven Curtis Chapman's 5 year old daughter that they adopted from China got run over and was killed back in May. So it was very difficult for him and his family to all be their. He just started back doing concerts about 3 months ago. He sang the song that I am sure most of you know called Cinderella which was written about Maria Sue, his daughter that was killed, and his other daughter Stevie Joy. So I know it was very difficult for him to sing that but he did amazing and it was very good! On the other hand, Michael W. Smith did awesome too!! It was really great! I am so glad I got to go! thanks dad for an awesome time! Here are a few pictures of the concert!!
