| The night's beginning - no one at stage edge |
The Belly Up was light on a crowd. My guess is that it was half capacity. No one was brave enough to be at the stage edge – I joined the front line about 10-15 feet away from the stage. A few guys center-stage would take a step forward with each song until finally, everyone was at the stage.
It was a good show. The lead singer would share stories: they flew from North Carolina that morning, 4 of 5 went for a run (Chicago marathon training), and he punched Russell Crowe 20 years ago.
The violinist was a replacement since the last time I have seen them.
