ONE GREAT HOUSTON PERFORMANCE DAY
"We did the last performance ever at The Astrodome a couple of
months ago. It was during the rodeo, and every seat was full. It
was such a historical place. So many events have happened there, so
for us to end it was really great. It was definitely one of the
most exciting performances we've ever had. There's nothing better
than performing in your hometown. And to hear all of those people
and to know that The Astrodome was such a huge landmark, such a
historical place for Houston, and that we were the last people to
perform there was an honor for us."
