Well said Kate.  Thanks for the easily empathized description.  Reminded =
me of a show of the Oils and Hunters and Collectors I saw at an outdoor a=
mphitheatre (Poplar Creek - Chicago area).

Ahhhhh.  What a day!  I'm sitting here typing this listening to my two
powderworker cadets trade phrases of the refrain to Golden Age as they
drift off to sleep. (tell me what you see ...)

It was a wonderful, wonderful show.  I found a space right down by the
lagoon with an excellent sight line and nice atmosphere.  Better yet, it
had a transformer box, about 7-7.5 feet tall, big enough to seat both of =
my
boys so that they got an unobstructed view of the stage.

I was busy wrangling children, so I didn't get a set list written down.  =
It
was a very mixed set from several eras with an Earth Day focus ... I hadn=
't
heard River Runs Red in ages.  The rants were vintage PG Earth Day fare,
and I was groooving to the fire of the music behind them.  They were SO
tight - even though the wind and the sound system muted certain pieces of
the harmonies or mix sometimes, it was mostly excellent.  I also enjoyed
leaning against the transformer box door for a full body bass line
resonance that transmitted every drum whack and base guitar thump through
my skeleton.  I even more greatly enjoyed being able to look out at the
river, or up at the sky through a barely bloomed tree and thinking about
how this music pulls me into the earth in so many ways ... especially
played live on a chilly but glorious spring day.

My son's opinion of the Boston Hatch Shell show:  "Its like my brain got
replaced with a radio that only plays Midnight Oil music.  I like my new
brain."

Enough Said!
