Yesterday was like any other day, Olivia and I took the CTA in Rosemont this time instead of taking the metra because it is much cheaper. From the CTA we walked about a block and we were already at the House of Blues. We had to wait in line for about an hour and a half until they finally let us in.
The opening act was Meiko who is a solo girl musician just starting out. After she performed Hanson came on and performed the best show ever. Now Hanson always does an encore no matter what. People always chant for them at the end of the show and they always come back on and perform at least two more songs. This time was different however. Towards the end of the show a few feet in front of where Olivia and I were standing a man fell off the second floor balcony and landed on the floor. I'm surprised he didn't hurt anyone but somebody ran to get security and that was the end of that.
Because of that guy Hanson didn't go on for an encore, that's the only reason we can think of. The entire crowd was chanting and cheering for Hanson for about twenty minutes until the lights finally came on and they announced that the show was over and House of Blues was closed.
When Hanson was wrapping up there last song all the sudden one of the band members says "uhhh... I think someone just fell off the balcony" like he didn't even know how to react. So there was no encore and all the Hanson fans were angry haha.
However, to make up for there being no encore we met the drummer while we were walking back to the CTA. When we were walkking back we see one of the band members standing on the sidewalk. A few other girls are there talking to him. The drummer Zac Hanson was on his way to go bowling haha. The show hadn't even been over for half an hour and Olivia and I had just left House of Blues and he was already on his way to the bowling alley by himself.
I guess hes just human like the rest of us but it was a weird experience. Him there walking down the street in Chicago with his A&W root beer in bowling shoes headed to the bowling alley to throw some balls. You think after a show he would be doing something else like relaxing. Why was he by himself? Where were his brothers?
Anyways, he apologized for ending the show early and that was that.
This is one Hanson concert I'll always refer to as the time the guy fell off the balcony.
