Actually I'm impressed with the sound quality...wonder if it's because
of the cloud cover? Of course, it's probably much too loud right in
front of the stage.
My son and a gang of his friends went, but even a modest crowd of 50K is
still a bit too much for me. As a sailor, I need elbow room.

To add to the congestion in a compact downtown area, an NHL Exhibition
game is going on (Boston Bruins vs New York Islanders)..
the Nova Scotia Film Festival is winding up this weekend and we have
four cruise ships in, including the QE2.


Glad to hear you are enjoying it Don. Have you seen any videos of the
performance?


Show just ended a couple of minutes ago with 'Satisfaction' and some
fireworks. Son left an hour before the show was over, soaking wet and
chilled to the bone. I had advised him to take a 'real' raincoat, but
he insisted his new waterproof membrane type fabric jacket was all he
needed. I loved telling him 'I told you so".

Same thing with my son when he went to an outdoor concert this summer.
Instead of a poncho I suggested a garbage bag with head and arm
holes...........he decided to be cool and get wet. When he came home
soaked to the bone but happy I had to keep quiet as I know I have been
there before.

Kids..........you have to love them! ;-)
