Fans slop through mud for ’80s rock

Her white slip-on sandals almost all brown, Kristen Graff of Windsor winced as she squished through the mixture of mud and manure that was at the Island Grove Arena on Sunday night and joined the crowds in the standing-room-only section near the stage to see REO Speedwagon and JOAN JETT AND THE BLACKHEARTS.
"I was just stuck," she said. As her husband, Kevin, smooth-ed the mud around with his feet, he said he didn’t mind the mud.
"It’s a fun time away from the kids," he said. "If you want, he can make you a little dry spot," added Kristen, laughing.
The rain and hail that started shortly before the 8 p.m. showtime didn’t seem to bother fans — such as the Graffs —who came out in force on Sunday night for the show at the Greeley Stampede.
JOAN JETT AND THE BLACKHEARTS opened the show, playing a set that mixed songs from their new album, "SINNER," with crowd favorites "Bad Reputation," "I Love Rock and Roll" and "Crimson and Clover."
While many attendees came to see REO Speedwagon, others, such as siblings Karl and Bernadette Zimmerman, were there for JOAN JETT.
"It’s my first time seeing her. I’m so excited," said Bernadette Zimmerman, 27, of Boulder.
"She’s so hot, still," added Karl Zimmerman, 26, of Greeley. Clapping and dancing wildly in the front row of the arena floor seats, Bernadette Zimmerman said they had to move from their seat farther back because they wanted to stand and dance.
"People were throwing beer cans at us," she said. "We were having too much fun!"
