Sunday @ Rothbury

Okay, not gonna lie. By Sunday, Rothbury had worn me out.
I was so dirty it was beginning to hurt (no shower since Thursday a.m., it's sexy, I know), I was tired of sleeping in a freezing cold smelly tent and I was tired of the sun sucking the life out of me.

Still we trekked out to the festival ground one last time. We wandered around for a bit at souvenir shops and settled in for John Mayer.

He came started with his more popular, radio hit songs, which revved the crowd up.

He sounded great too...Well I mean to say it sounded just like his CD but live, so to me that's pretty good quality. We had to duck out after a few songs because there was no NO WAY that we were missing ANY of the Brother Ali/Atmosphere set.



The Minnesota Rhymesayers: Atmosphere and Brother Ali...For those who don't know, they're hip-hop artists from the Midwest and they are amazing. I know a lot of people might call them sell-outs or whatever, but I don't care...They put on such a great show and were so respectful to the crowd that it was hard not to love em'. After every song they thanked the crowd, constantly saying "you're beautiful," and other statements that I doubt Snoop has ever uttered.

Okay, so I was a little disappointed that Atmosphere played a few more songs than Brother did. Not to mention Brother didn't really play much (that I can recall) from his older album, Shadows on the Sun and didn't play the best songs from his newer album. Regardless, it was still awesome. Atmosphere played some greats--really good ones off his new CD and of course the classics, "GodLovesUgly," "Tryin' to Find a Balance," "Always Coming Back Home..." and a few others that have escaped my mind at the moment.
All you really need to know is that it was fantastic and I would say it was up there as one of the best shows I saw all weekend. (I know many disagree, but whatever).

So that was Rothbury folks.


Now I have a few weeks of relaxation before the Lollapalooza chaos ensues!
