Once in a while they open some fire hydrant valves that shoot up in the sky and give us a spectacular show!
Last weekend Gastown was the stage for the free shows and this past weekend it was Yaletown’s turn. The weather was perfect. Well, maybe a little too hot? on Saturday, me and my friends tried to find a spot in the shade with a decent view on the stage, but of course, they were all taken…
The shade was our best friend this weekend — it was HOT!!!
The David Lam Park in Yaletown. That ice cream vendor is sure to make a buck sooner than later! ;)
After roasting in the Sun for about 30 minutes, we decided to head to the indoor stage. A show was already on and, since spots away from the Sun were on high demand, I only managed to sneak way back in the room, with a wooden pillar right in my face. :s The band Sliding Hammers was playing:
Swedish sisters Mimmi Pettersson Hammar and Karin Hammar
A fine piano solo just ended
I especially liked Ronnie Gardiner, the drummer, from which you could feel a deep sense of joy through his playing (not that the others weren’t having fun – they were; it was just most apparent in him). He was all smiles and sooo relaxed behind his drum set whether it was a mellow song or playing through a solo. Going to live shows is so much fun when you can feel that energy emanating from the band/artist. It was a very enjoyable show with great music and good laughs listening to the comments the sisters had for us in-between songs.
