Great Big Sea!

As always, the show was fantastic - there's nothing like going down to the harbor and listening to great music while watching ships go by.

I was further away from the stage than I was hoping, as I had not anticipated a line all the way through the naval park and finding the end of it took forever, so I could not molest Murray, sorry jkpolk. I can state he was waring a green shirt, though, and looked very fine.

I kept trying to see if Alan still had the beard. I really did not get a good look at him as a very very tall gentleman about five rows up blocked my view of that half of the stage a lot of the time, so not a lot of Murray either. /And/ a tree blocked my view of Bob on the right most of the time. So I looked at Sean a lot. I prefer Alan, really, but Sean's very nice to look at.

The set was a lot of their older songs, and a nice mix between the bouncier I-must-do-vertical-movement-right-now songs and slower songs. I pretty much got to hear everything I wanted: Lukey, General Taylor, Turn, Consequence Free, Mari Mac, Ordinary Day, England, Excursion Around the Bay, and, of course, Old Black Rum. Hubby wanted Walk 0n The Moon and did not get it, alas.

I tried to sneak a couple of pictures on my cell phone camera but all you get is bright lights and a bunch of people in the way, so I'm not going to stick them up.

But still, an excellent, excellent show. My hip has completely stiffened up and hates me and I don't care. :)

Hahah ah, poor Murman, going unmolested. :)

Oh well. Maybe next time I'll be able to try and hang around, but I tend to go with my husband, who likes the music and has 0 interest in trying to meet the band.

I never did talk to anyone in MF other than Mike, so it would be nice to talk to Murray. Might be more of a squee, though.

Sounds like you had fun :-)

My sympathy on the hip. Perhaps some of it is our crazy weather.

Eh, more like problems stemming from having to sit all day at work. I'm trying to fix that.

Hurray for Great Big Sea! Glad to hear you had fun! :)

And a Murray icon, just for you.
