Vote For Change Finale at MCI Center
Last night, I was lucky to attend the marathon 5.5 hour Vote For Change show at MCI Center. This picture was taken by the Washington Post from much better seats than I enjoyed, although we had good seats.
While the sound was not mixed well at MCI (typical for that venue), the show was fabulous. For me, the highlight was Bruce Springsteen joining REM for Man on the Moon. REM, in particular, was truly grand. Michael Stipe was animated and motivated and put on a great show.
Other highlights were James Taylor's short speech using a horse as a symbol for Bush; the version of Because the Night with Stipe joining the E Street Band; John Fogarty playing Fortunate Son with the E Street Band; and the finale with all the musicians singing "What's So Funny About Peace Love and Understanding" and "Power to the People." I also enjoyed hearing Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne and Keb Mo sing "For What It's Worth." The Dave Matthews Band played spellbinding rhythms during their set.
I would like to see it on my home theater in THX sound....
