Last Night, I was 15 again

Counting Crows with Live and Collective Soul
07-22-2007

I swear, i thought it was 1995 last night . . . but then i realized im 26 and the world is a lot different that it was in 1995. . . . . . .but you know, the music is the same, and it made me feel the same way i did when i first heard some of these songs growing up in the 90's.

Collective Soul - Alright, so i didnt see them, we walked in as they played their last song, one which i recognized . . . . but there was more important stuff to be done in the parking Lot

Live - They look the same, they sounds the same as they did in the 90's. I remember wanting to see them in concert when i was like 14 or 15, never did though, little did i know, in 2007 id see them in Wilmington of all places. They started with my favorite Live song, 'All Over You'. I remember requesting that song on Y100 while doing dishes one day. It amazing what sticks with you, actually whats amazing is how music make things stick with you. So they played a lot of favorites, lot of stuff from Throwing Copper. The set ended with Lightning Crashes, which was one i really wanted to hear. One thing i dont like is when they try to put some variety in the chorus and make it a little different. Its ok for a few notes here and there, but dont do the whole thing, theres a reason i love that song, and i want to hear it.

Counting Crows - Honestly, i think i was more excited to see the Live than the Counting Crows, but the Crows put on one hell of a show. I really dont knw what so say about it, but Adam Duritz really didnt miss a note (he missed a step and almost fell at one point post-twirl, but he caught himself and kept going like it didnt happen) A few of the songs that stuck out - Hangin Around, Ms Potters Lullaby, Richard maunel is Dead, A Long December, Round Here, & Mr. Jones. They did that song from Shrek, Accidently in Love, and one annoying song they did with Michelle Branch - or whatever her name is. I would definatly see them again.

After the Beacharoo

Ok, so today at the beach was awesome, but we made up for that enjoyment later. The weather was great, mid 70's, totally sunny and clear, and to top it off there was a great cool breeze blowing on the beach, which made it quite enjoyable. Only downside to that is that you dont get hot, it doesnt bother you to just lay there on the beach all day, cause its not unbearable, its actually pretty comfortable. Downside you say?? Well, when you get home and realize that you are redder than you should be, and it hurts.

It was worth it. Just as an example, here is Ashley, with her Bow-Tan line.

Bonnaroo Mornings

At Bonnaroo, its not time to go to sleep until it starts to get light around 5 or 6am. I mean, you cant sleep in the dark, there is just so much going on. Im glad Jeff grabbed this photo of me Sunday morning, cause this set-up was sweet, and it worked perfectly.

I was at the Sasha/Digweed show, that started at 1:30, and was supposed to end at 3:30. I was dancing, Lost in the music, and did not notice the time. Actually, i didnt even have the time on me, which made it even better. This is a good view from where i wasw around 3:30am.

When i thought it was about 4, i look over, and the horizon is starting to lighten up. They it just got light out, and it was 6am, and i was on my feet dancin for about 5 hours. Had a lot in me . . . . if you know what i mean. Oh, and i snapped this shot on the way back to camp, just to prove to the naysayers.
