Saturday, August 25, 2012Hello Everyone...
I had to make a terrible decision at Lollapalooza. It was Friday, the first day of the show, and the two big headliners were none other than The Black Keys and a reunited Black Sabbath featuring Ozzy Osbourne. Black Sabbath played only 15 minutes earlier than the Keys, so it would be impossible to see both and have a decent point of view. I don't know if you are familiar with these types of festivals, but you have to get there early if you want to even see the performers, otherwise yo are doomed to only see them on the big screen.
While I don't regret seeing Ozzy and Black Sabbath for what was their only North American show of the year, I do wish I could have seen the Black Keys - it would have been my 6th time seeing them live, and it's always a great experience. Luckily the official Lollapalooza Youtube channel uploaded my favorite song, Little Black Submarine. It wasn't a single on their latest album, but I was instantly drawn to it, and was pleased to find out that the crowd always likes it and sings along as well. That's one of the best parts of festivals - crowd singing. Enjoy it.
