It was a night of "Double Vision," and "Head Games" at the Bud Walton Arena Wednesday, as Foreigner kicked off another free concert, for Wal-Mart Shareholders Week.
This marks the second concert in as many days to be free to the public. Tuesday night, hundreds of people were turned away due to overcrowding, but on Wednesday everyone got in.
Also performing was former American Idol contestant, Chris Daughtry. The show started at 6:30 p.m., but the first person in line arrived much earlier. "I just want to see Foreigner, I got here at 10 this morning," said Bruce Bartlett, a Wal-Mart employee from Rogers.
The line outside slowly grew all day, and by 6 p.m. it was reaching toward Razorback Stadium. However, some people thought waiting to get in was the best part. "It's all about getting out with everyone, and enjoying the time with visiting employees from all over the country and world ," said Junior Hager, a Wal-Mart employee from Gentry.
Those employees and shareholders from other parts of the country and world were also treated to a pre-show party, featuring motorcycle stunts, autographs from celebrities and simulation games.
"It's a really different culture, we don't have this in Northern Ireland, and if we do, I haven't seen it," said Chung Ip, a Wal-Mart employee from Ireland.
