Last night I got to see Sarah McLachan, one of my favorite artists of all time perform at the Lilith Fair. I had resigned myself to no more concerts pretty much ever, because they are so expensive, but I got an e-mail offering 10 dollar lawn tickets and I couldn't pass it up. We just caught the last three acts which were Sara Barielles, The Courtyard Hounds (Dixie Chicks minus Natalie Maines) and Sarah. She played all the stuff you would want to hear (Adia, Building a Mystery, Arms of the Angels, I Will Remember you), and some more obscure fan favorites (World on Fire my favorite song of hers, and Icecream as an encore). She also played three songs from her new album which I really enjoyed.
Sarah's music was the soundtrack to some difficult times in my life. I listened to Mirrorball and Afterglow probably thousands of time during my pregnancy. I also love Sarah McLachlan because she is so passionate about so many different causes (she is the one in those supersad animal commercials) and she really puts her money where her mouth is.
So well worth ten bucks in my opinion. We also didn't have to pay for parking and my friend paid for tolls, so cheap night all round. And perfect weather to boot.
