We were against the middle barrier about halfway between the stage and the sound tent, and I have to tell you, NO one was talking--if they weren't quiet, they were singing! No one was standing---they were all dancing! And we heard every note, every word he sang. Just to discuss, tho---no it wasn't intimate, not at the MBNA stage, but Van Morrison tours so rarely, and it HAS been over 40 years....ya gotta figure he'd be popular! To go to one concert, ignore the other stages, and say it's not intimate--well headliner concerts at bluesfest never were. The band was awesome---well, it's an all-star band so go figger---but check your Van history: he performs EXACTLY as long as he is signed for (notice he didn't short change us, either), he never speaks to the audience, he rarely opens his eyes---none of what he did was a surprise. And let's face it...$50 was cheap these days, don't you think? Besides that he NEVER does many hits, and certainly did a few songs people who've seen multiple Van shows have never heard live. In fact, if you like Greatest Hits concerts, Ottawa was given a gift by Van Morrison. Man, I wish you'd been with US. billiken00@hotmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730701.post-3504021503759635922007-07-07T15:49:00.000-04:002007-07-07T15:49:00.000-04:00i agree.hopefully that does not happen to me when ...i agree.<BR/>hopefully that does not happen to me when i go to see Incubus or any concert.<BR/>bad shows arent an uncommon sight but i think that was just the scene.<BR/>im excited that im going to queens of the stone age and Incubus.<BR/>i hope it goes well.<BR/>peace<BR/>JeremyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
