Good night. The bands were good, the weather was good, the crowds weren't bad.
Saw Michelle Shocked - blues/country/soul singer. Great voice. The show didn't really do much for me. The sound wasn't great, and her songs didn't really do it for me.
Then Hothouse Flowers. Their first couple of songs were really good. Great grooves. After that, they didn't excite me a whole lot. They were good, but I felt like moving on.
The Radiators were playing at the same time, and I'd always wanted to see them. They were good. Rootsy, bluesy rock, abouit like I expected but they rocked harder. Not bad for a bunch of old guys.
Then Joe Cocker. He put on a good show. I'd recommend him to anyone who thinks they might enjoy it.
We also wandered by The Moody Blues, but it wasn't happening for me. They'd be great to see at an outdoor fesetival where everybody is lounging on the grass sipping wine, but here they were dancing on the picnic tables, swigging beer. While i was there, Hayward was clmly explaining that the song they were about to play was from 1969, off of Legend of a Mind (or something), and the place was standing room only, and it was just not right.
Maybe because it was a monday night, the crowds at the fest weren't bad and the streets weren't packed with rowdy drunks.
