RE: Reinharts (w/ Haley) at McCartney Concert Milwaukee
Thing is, Lolla was probably the first "Concert" venue I've been to since I used to go see shows back in the 90's early 2000's. Back then, I was fine with seeing shows from way back where you could barely make out the features on performer's faces....
I remember Himm2, Babbs and I hung out for the first part of the Ozzy Osbourne/Black Sabbath performance (the only reunion show in the US, that year) at Lolla. We were sooo far back, we didn't even see the stage and had to rely on watching the screens (I actually have video of the first two songs). It would have been suicide to wade through the huddled masses to get closer, because body heat alone would have been suffocating....
Compare that to the Tree covered shade, Breezy brightness of Haley's performance on a grass lawn, earlier in the day, there was no comparison which was the more enjoyable of the two
Having seen Haley live, since, in the circumstances I did, I'm not sure I could fully enjoy that kind of 'stadium' setting anymore, that as well as the more mundane reasons (price/traffic/parking) was a reason I decided not to go see Paul.
