That you didn't go to the show especially to see, you must've been going to see the headliners.

Earlier this year I took my 10 year old twins to see Train who they're huge fans of, while they aren't really my thing they were pretty enjoyable. The supporting act was a girl called Gin Wigmore who I was very impressed with.
All my favourite singers have stolen all of my best lines.

    This for sure. Glen was magnificent and I look forward to seeing him headline a show here in SD soon.
    MMJ was great a few years ago...
    Ben Harper is always good...
    Band of Horses 5.21.10 was fantastic...
    I saw Dawes open for Mumford and Sons and they were beyond fantastic...
    The best though: Public Enemy - opened for Beasties and Run DMC in the late 80's - SICK. Love PE to this day.

    Gary Clark Jr opening for Grace Potter
    Milo Greene opening for The Civil Wars
    Dawes opening for Bright Eyes
    The Joy Formidable opening for Foo Fighters


    I like to make it a point to go in for openers, because I have been surprised a ton by some of them. A few have ended up becoming some of my favorite artists because of it. Some are complete and total busts though, and I think "why did I come in early for this? I could still be at the bar drinking cheaper" :lol:
