There was supposed to be a post entitled “Alberta Cross/Pete Yorn 10/22/09″ as well, but that is a long story. The short version is that the Rococo Theatre’s (in Lincoln, NE) website said that cameras were not allowed and that anyone caught with one would be ejected immediately (or something similar)… so I only brought my point and shoot. Curse of the Bad Lighting from the Granada apparently carried over to the Rococo, and everything was blurry as can be. Total rubbish. Good show regardless… Alberta Cross and Pete Yorn both made me forget that it was cold and rainy outside. (Also, hello to Amy!)
As for the real content of this post, I found myself in Bloomington, IN at the Bluebird Nightclub last night where Alberta Cross absolutely killed it. I’m loving them more each time I see them. (Sadly it’ll be awhile before I see them again!) If you haven’t heard their stuff, it is on their MySpace page. As usual, Pete and Co. were phenomenal, and this time I can finally say that all my begging and pleading paid off as song #2 on the night’s setlist was “I Feel Good Again” (Junior Kimbrough cover). (And hello to Cammy, Carly, and anyone from the Pete Yorn forums!)
Again, the lighting wasn’t real fantastic to work with. I’ve managed to put myself right in direct line with some of the canister lights, which can either lead to an awesome shot or epic fail. If it says anything, I shot over 300 photos, and kept… 17. I just need to get to shows earlier and figure out where I’m standing at… as long as I’m still front row! ;)
