Dude put on a hell of a show. Not a huge rock spectacle, but rock-y, acoustic-y, indie-y goodness. with two encores. And he also played the opening set. Dude played for near three hours, near as I can tell. I can tell you that I missed most of the first set. Tickets said doors opened at 8. So we grabbed a cab at around 8:30.
Cuz that's how it works, right?
Nope. Joel Plaskett was on the stage doing his thing before 8:30. Colour us surprised.
Also surprising, no Emergency with him. But his dad was there. That was cool.
His dad looks old, but not. And Joel doesn't look old at all, considering he's been doing this since forever. I saw him when he was a part of The Super Friendz, way back when I was in University. Dude still looks and acts young. And skinny. And scrawny. A very Ichabod-ian body has he.
And he was mingling amongst the crowd between his sets, he passed right past me a few times.
And he was always talking. Between songs, during songs. Built quite a rapport with the audience. They were clearly digging was he was doing and he, in turn, dug their digging. As did I. I loved the vibe, everybody was in high spirits, and that is not code. It was just a purely positive experience.
And Mark was there, and it is always nice to catch up with that guy.
