tales from a small room

Last night was epic. Great setlist. It was just awesome.

Some of my highlights:

• the generally mellowed out crowd. that being said, there were a few exceptions…
• hearing rear view mirror live. it’s one of my favourites, so bittersweet but full of hope. hearing it live with a chorus of 30,000 is amazing.
• security in the pit were friendly, refilling water bottles and checking on the crowd.
• hearing ben harper sing “i will not be broken”. beautiful.
• ben harper and ed singing bowie’s under pressure.
• getting some photos, even if only with a point+shoot.

it’s a shame the night was let down by equipment + sound problems during ben harper’s set and i heard from others that the music was somewhat lost up in the stands. but up the front, none of the intensity was lost and it kicked ass.
