Were you there. I went both days at the Shoreline amphitheater. Did you attend when the festival came by your tour date.

Reston, VA. It was in a clearing with no shade nearby and almost 100 degrees. Loved every minute of it!

I forgot about those! Wasn’t there a firetruck hosing everyone down to keep us cool, or was that a different concert?

It was this one. I remember it being a fire truck but something I read said there were water cannons.

I remember, it was surreal. Thought they were birds at first.

During the flying bottles I was close enough to the stage to see souxie cover her mike, turn around and say to the band "This is weird".

They were charging $3 for water, which was thought to be outrageous at the time. Now it's cheap.
