Concert Time Part 2

 Hello friends!

A couple posts ago, I mentioned that I went to see Weird Al Yankovic in Toronto and was planning on seeing Steven Page here in Peterborough when he played Musicfest on the Saturday. 

I ended up going. I didn't think about it at all. I didn't psych myself out beforehand. I knew it would be busy, but that generally happens when you have a free concert series in the middle of town. 

Musicfest, by the way, is one of the longest running free concert series in Ontario. It began in 1987 and has run every summer. Acts such as Carly Rae Jepsen, Crash Test Dummies, Our Lady Peace, Tom Cochrane, Kiefer Sutherland, Randy Backman, Kim Mitchell, and (one of my favourites) Arrogant Worms have performed at the venue. 

It was called the Festival of Lights, with fireworks after the concerts, then illuminated boats in the water. It was rebranded to Musicfest and they do fireworks on July 1.

Well, Saturday was Steven Page. He performed some early BNL favourites that he wrote such as Enid, Brian Wilson, Break Your Heart, If I Had $1000000 (with Tom Green) as well as some solo stuff. 

I enjoyed listening to the music. I was a little further back, as with my wheelchair I would prefer to stay on the brick path they have as opposed to going on the grass. 

The photos turned out better than I thought they did, honestly.. 

The concerts are held at Del Crary Park, downtown Peterborough. It's situated on Little Lake. 

I did take a couple videos but I don't think I can post them here unless I upload them to YouTube. Besides, since they were partial songs, I'm not too worried about showing them.. 

I think the only other concert I may want to see is Kim Mitchell, though truthfully, there are only really two songs of his I know. Patio Lanterns and Go for a Soda.
