On the second night the weather was much better, no rain, but still cold and gloomy. I got in line later, shortly before 4 o’clock. But it all went well, me and my five friends got our wristbands and a spot a little futher back than yesterday. But it was still good, we could see well!
We got Dowbound Train as a starter, that was really great. Then all the songs we had been talking about were just popping out. First came Candy’s Room, then Darlington County and Youngstown. good Lovin’was a nice surprise, as was Growin’ Up, but Queen of the Supermarket wasn’t as good as good as I hoped. It swayed a little on the drums, Jay Weinberg almost lost the beat, but they picked it up again. Jay is really great filling in for his dad Max, and nobody can believe he’s just 18 years old!
But the biggest surprise of the evening was Lost in the Flood. I had a secret wish for that song, but I hadn’t made a sign, because I thought it would be useless. But others had made signs and we got it! Peppe and I was just screaming madly at each other when Bruce picked it out. The performance was really strong and very moving. We also got the Detroit Medley, with Land of 1000 Dances at the end. Great! A fabulous night!
