How the fuck did I pull that off? Wicked show. I'm spent.

Very well said Todd.

See y'all on the left hand side (facing stage) near the front?

Now there's the voice of reason.

The sound of pink noise.

I ran into some ugliness at the Johnny Winter show. My only run in was at Feist. I could see open pockets of space near the front so naturally went to stand there only to find the space taken up by people's lawnchairs that they weren't sitting in. I started pushing them aside and telling people to pick up their fucking chairs. So I got into a couple of immature yelling matches but nothing physical.

Brian looked to be singing "his" parts from my vantage point but I'm by no means a Beach Boys scholar so I don't know if he was singing the parts he originally sang. I obviously cut the guy a lot of slack due to his condition but his band were pros. There are very few times I get to see a true musical legend up close and in person and that was enough to carry it for me. And as subtle as his gestures were, he did seem to be enjoying himself. And he sounded good on the last song from his new album that they did. What did he say before "God Only Knows"? Something about it being the best or something song he'd ever written. I thought it was pretty heavy (in a good way) when we was singing that one.

What makes you think that? I would have thought the same for Brian Wilson last night but it was pretty easy to get close and stand. I've noticed that the lawnchair people tend to stay off the pavement near the front of the stage for the most part. Showing up 30 minutes before showtime helps a lot too.

Your avatar tells me yes.

Manx/Breit was great but I missed Kevin's funny stories!! Caught a glimpse of Kathleen Edwards en route to camping out a prime spot for Brian Wilson. He was great too, see other thread. Managed to snag a late beer and headed on over to the Roots stage for Calexico's encore. It was a nice end to the night.

That was a great show despite the PA problems. What struck me most was how much The Ramones appropriated the Beach Boys style, amped up a few notches. And it was just like a Ramones set, short catchy song after short catchy song. By the end of the set it was a parade of hits. Brian's backing band was killer. Really great photo and recording Mike. Thanks!
