I’ve been going to the festival every day since I last posted, but yesterday was the first time I could be there from the afternoon all the way until midnight (it was a Saturday). I saw so much yesterday it’s going to be difficult to not leave anything out.
First, I would like say that I found Jesus at the festival. Heh. He was playing the keyboard for a reggae band. Rather than include a picture directly in this post (it looks weird…it’s just too out of place), you’ll have to go here to see it. I’m sorry you can only kind of see his face, but it was hard to get a non-blury-good-angle picture.
On a more important topic, I saw the California Guitar Trio yesterday afternoon (okay fine, and their home page) and was able to take some decent video footage of them. They played a song that I’m guessing is called “The Marsh” but I’m not sure…ya’ll will have to identify that one for me. They played Echoes by Pink Floyd, as well as Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody. The following video is from their performance yesterday (Saturday). It’s really sad that the Echoes recording stops before the end of the song, but I just didn’t have enough space on my SD card.
After the California Guitar Trio, I ventured over to my favourite stage (Les Tropiques) and saw a fantastic reggae band. The program/map pamphlet I had said they were South African. The stage itself said they were from Quebec. But when the lead singer introduced the band, half of them were from Jamaica. So I’ll have to describe them as South African/Quebecois/Jamaican, for lack of a better way of saying it. They were also fantastic, and surprisingly loud. I would say that they had the audience dancing probably more than any other event I’ve been to so far.
There are many more videos and many more pictures, but I think I’ll wait a couple of days to post them. I hope you enjoyed the video! I feel like I have so much more to say, but I’ve been holding this blog post here for many hours already. I figure it’s just time to finish this one up and post more later.
