just a few comments of mine about last nights show ...
1. Great setting for a concert. I spent most of the show sitting to stage left. There was a hill similar to the Molson ampitheatre where you pretty much have a birds eye view of a birds eye view.
2. Sound. As far a some outdoor concerts go the sound seems to travel in waves. Not last night! You could hear the lyrics clear and percise. Near the end of the setlist we began to make our way ahead of the crowds. Even at the hill-top furthest from the stage they sounded great!
3. Drunks. Not too bad. Most people were respectful of others. I know Gord pointed out a fan or two near the end of their set. Once you get all those people near stage-front pushing and shoving tempers sail off. But in general the crowd was pretty good. Actually I must admit of all the outdoor concerts last evenings show was ranked near the top. The police made their precence but really were not going outta their way to bother anyone!
4. Personal highlights:
- ABAC. Robbie had a great lead. I'm not sure if he normally changes guitars but last night the roadie passed off a second guitar to robbie who continued his lead. (maybe he broke a string?) Wow. Great to hear that screaming guitar!
- Family Band - again just love to hear Robbies guitar in that song. Groovin!
- Long Time Running - nuf said
Enjoy Calgary!
