The night was cool. The outdoor amphitheatre setting was perfect. The band played all their famous tunes! All very loudly, even though I was seated halfway to the stage. My only regret is that they didn't have any newly-created Firefall tunes to play.
I tried to take pictures with my little Canon digital camera, and I mean tried... its autofocus is failing, its image stabilization is gone, it powers off every 2 minutes. But after setting the EV to minus 2 and the ISO to 1600, I was able to take photos at its full 8X zoom without noticeable camera shake.
After the concert, I bought a Jock Bartley (the band leader's solo effort) CD and have him autograph it. I mentioned that I recently bought the rare Firefall 2004 concert DVD, and he said that another concert DVD was in the works.
Up next a Sept. 26 Warp 11 concert in Sacramento and then a Nov. 27 Trail Band concert in Canby, Oregon.
