AD Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 32,000 people tonight for Rush etc. That's a biiiiiiiig crowd. From looking at it I thought it was the biggest crowd ever at Bluesfest, but if I remember right Dylan or Van Morrison had 35,000... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Levon was spectacular last night. Not only were there up to 14 (!) perfectly coordinated people on stage by the end, but the twists and turns on the songs were delicious (I'm thinking right now of the Blind Willie McTell with shades of Gilded Splinters). Amazing lineup, too - Jim Wieder, Amy Helm, etc., and then John Hiatt and Glen Hansard coming out for the end of the set. Much as I like sitting around once in a blue moon listening to Rush, give me that kind of show any day. And that's all without getting into the difference between the crowds. I really like Santana, but am already dreading what that's going to look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms.Huxtable Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 I wonder how popular that comedy tent has been, anybody have a sense? Looking forward to Arcade Fire tonight. Fingers crossed for no rain at show time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevO Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Did anyone see The Sadies on Sunday? I am liking the new album, wondering if they are playing much of that. Also how was Gord Downey? I read recently that The Sadies have recently recorded with Gord Downey as his backing band (or maybe its still happening).. Just waiting to see when this will translate to the live stage. Hopefully at Hillside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Gord was rocking. Much more than I expected.I saw The Sadies- but only at the Levon set, not at their own show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im going home Donny Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Sadies were awesome in the market. Though I ran out of steam and my 3 year old was getting mental so we left a bit early...what I heard was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 I thought Gord's set was terrible. Weak material with an all-star but un-rehearsed band. Did the Sadies play with Levon? I was in and out of that show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 No, The Sadies were members of the audience.Trav was rocking a vintage "The Hawks" tshirt...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Gord's band was Dave Clark, Dale Morningstar, Julie Doiron, Josh from Skydiggers..... Am I wrong on any of those or have I forgotten anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AD Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Last night, Arcade Fire played a show in Quebec City as part of the Quebec Summer Festival. As The New York Times reports, the band used their set to talk about an issue dear to them: the rebuilding of Haiti following the devastating earthquake that hit Port-au-Prince.According to the Times, at the show, Arcade Fire co-leader Régine Chassagne revealed the creation of a nonprofit organization called Kanpe, which funnels aid from Canada to Haiti to help the poor. (Chassagne's parents emigrated from Haiti to Canada.) According to the Kanpe website, Chassagne sits on the nonprofit's board. At the Quebec show, Win Butler, Chassagne's husband and Arcade Fire co-leader announced that audience members could donate $5 to the effort by texting 30333. The band promised to match every donation from the public up to a million (Canadian) dollars. Butler said, "Please, take our money," the Times reports.So: If we send a million dollars to Haiti, Arcade Fire will also send a million dollars. Amazing. Let's do it, people!This is just the latest of the band's many efforts to help Haiti after the earthquake. Soon after the quake hit, Chassagne wrote an editorial for the British newspaper The Observer, asking people around the world to help with the relief effort. And when the band licensed their song "Wake Up" to the NFL for a Super Bowl commercial, they donated all the proceeds to the relief efforts.

rubberdinghy Posted July 14, 2010 Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 The Sadies were great in the market on Sunday, and yes they did play some stuff from the new album...You know with the Sadies, you get about 40 songs in a 45 minute set. Throw in a bunch of oldies and sound that was perfect, it was a great Sunday evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
