Breaking News

I was going to save my battery and do a post later after the Metallica set, but I couldn't wait to bring you the news! Rock & Roll is not dead! I just heard it and it shook me down to the core. A wonderful ensemble from Knoxville called the Raconteurs just floored me. They came on at 5pm after Stephen Marley. It was so incredible, I just wish I knew how to work the video on this phone. Loaded with long, blues infused sustains, reverb, feedback, powerful percussion and bass, and two leads, one a very charismatic frontman whose name I am unfamiliar with. I assure you this though, I am going to be finding out more about him and the rest of this band. And as soon as possible I am going to aquire their album, it's a must! These guys got ahold of me so much my eyes welled up a few times during their deepest tracks. Fresh, genuine, and with a dues paid demeanor these guys tore up the largest
stage in this venue with a blistering hour and a half set that held the audience through every song to the end. I didn't want it to be over. Well, that's all my battery is going to allow. More to come when I get to a car charger...
