I saw a guys with a Swervedriver shirt. It blew my mind.

And the Flaming Lips kicked ass. They made my day :nod:

All I came home with was a sunburn on top of my head where my hair was parted. Possibly the worst place to have a sunburn.

Yea, the Flaming Lips were one of my favourites. They made my fucking day. :love:

I got home to Burlington at around 2 this morning.

My friends and I took the opportunity to move it when an ambulance slowly ambled its way through the crowd (right infront of us, too). It cleared a path so we followed it out from the crowd and left through the north gate. Walked down Sheppard, hopped on a shuttle bus on Allen, subwayed to Union, and crammed onto a GO train.

The traffic wasn't that bad. It all went quite smoothly, it was just really crowded at times.

I love those guys. If they come back to the city, I'm going to see them. No questions asked.

I got to the concert just as Kathleen Edwards was finishing up. We got just about the best spot in the entire fucking park, for people who didn't want to be in the mosh pit. There was this big clearing - and I use the term lightly - where people had set up blankets to lie down on, which was within viewing distance of the stage and right smack in front of one of the tv screens and a speaker tower. We got a spot right in the centre of this clearing, it was awesome, I'm almost positive we had the most room to ourselves of anyone at the concert.

I went with my friend to get posters and t-shirts a bit before Dan Aykroyd and Jim Belushi went on for the second time, and didn't get back until Justin Timberlake went on, it took a full fifty minutes to go five feet in the bloody t-shirt line. I got a really really long but shallow cut across my right calf from one of the stupid street sweepers they had plowing through the crowds while walking back. And I got a nice burn on my forehead, oy.

AC/DC rocked my socks, as did Rush. The Stones were alright, but I still don't like them all that much.

Oh yeah, I'm still plenty incoherent. There were people... everywhere. I saw more people yesterday than I've seen in all the previous years of my life put together. :lol:

Ooo, the Tea Party and the Flaming Lips kicked ass too. And that crazy patriotic video they showed about halfway through. And that dj that kept showing up did some cool stuff too. :nod:

Susan · Post by **Susan** » 7/31/2003, 2:24 pm

The partiotic video was awesome. They used "If It Feels Good Do It" by Sloan. Susan loves.

Everywhere we went, we were surrounded by smokers and stoners. I had the worst cough and headache by the end of the day.

It seemed like they had a hard time balancing the sounds. I couldn't hear Have Love Will Travel's horn section. If you were blind, you wouldn't have know that Sam Roberts had a guitarist because the bass was so overpowering.

joe_canadian · Post by **joe_canadian** » 7/31/2003, 2:26 pm

I know, when it started I thought to myself, "Somewhere, somehow, Susan is rocking out." :nod:

Susan · Post by **Susan** » 7/31/2003, 2:27 pm

Tee hee.

joe_canadian · Post by **joe_canadian** » 7/31/2003, 2:37 pm

I missed Sam Roberts and Dan Aykroyd and Jim Belushi's act. I didn't mind missing Sam Roberts, but I was supremely pissed that I missed Have Love Will Travel, how were they? Dan wasn't a terribly witty host, but he was alright. It was really sad hearing him talk about how much he loved John Belushi, he really does seems like a good guy.

But yeah, AC/DC was incredible. And Geddy Lee is a bass god. I can't believe I never listened to these bands before.

Susan · Post by **Susan** » 7/31/2003, 2:39 pm

Rush is a band of god-musicians. Geddy, Alex, and Neil are just insanely skilled with their instruments. Download some songs off Vapor Trails and you'll know what I mean.

Have Love Will Travel sounded great. The horns were hard to hear as I said above, but they have a great sound.
