My week long vacation visiting my family this summer closed out with the epic Legends of Summer Tour at Yankee Stadium.

Dan flew in for the concert and the weekend with my family and my dad treated the two of us, my sister and my cousin, Kristen to the game. My dad is a season ticket holder for the Yankees and as a result got pre-sale tickets for the concert. He unknowingly hooked us up for seats in the Delta Sky Suite, complete with air conditioned bar area and private bathrooms and super plush seats. We sent him a picture to thank him for the seats at the event and he didn't even know!

It was a clutch surprise, since summer in NYC is both very hot and very sticky and being able to escape to the air conditioning for bathroom breaks and cool down breaks was absolutely clutch. Honestly, I was happier with our seats than anywhere else on the stadium. Field seats out on the grass get you closer to the action, but who wants to sweat their ass off unnecessarily.
When we got to the stadium, we were able to order drinks from the sky suite bar. They had two speciality drinks named for Justin songs, the Cry Me A River and Sexyback and two for JayZ, the Magna Carta and The Illuminati. We rocked Sexybacks and Cry Me A Rivers all night long; another perk of the Delta Sky Suite since we were one of the only areas in the stadium with a full bar.

If you ask Dan, he will tell you that this was the greatest concert he's ever been to and honestly I have to admit it ranks up there. Collaboration concerts usually are only so-so because they treat each artist individually and they each end up with their own solo sets, and then occasionally will sing one or two concerts together. What made The Legends of Summer so fantastic was the constant collaboration with one another on stage. Justin sang backup for JayZ throughout the show and played piano, guitar, bass and more for both his own and JayZ's songs.
My favorite collaboration was probably New York State of Mind, with Justin opening up and closing the song singing Frank Sinatra's New York, New York and Alicia Keys making a guest appearance on stage. The show was phenomenal and I am so happy we got the chance to go!
