I don't mind if the stage is large
or small.
If it's indoors
or outdoors.
If the guys up there are famous
or just having fun.
Even when you run the risk of being upstaged by the weather
the show must go on!

When I was younger I would go for the outdoor performances, but now I prefer a comfy seat indoors (and access to a good loo).
Great post for TT!

It seems like the only music we really get here in Newport, RI is outdoors. And yeah, I've been at the Newport Folk Festival in the rain. For a while there it was a tradition - it always rained on the Sunday of the festival, so that was the day everybody brought their ponchos.
Very cool take, here. Not just who's on the stage but where the stage is. Love the outdoor concerts!
Stages do come in many forms, hmm? :)
I totally agree!
wonderful tour of the stages...love a good concert...out doors, all the better.
I'm with you!
great array of musical stages and groups! fun to see two austin stages...for me austin is MUSIC. glad you got to experience some music while you were there. just sorry I crossing paths with you while you were on your u.s. wander - I was in austin april and you in may!
Poetikat - We have camping chairs, which are quite comfy, but I know what you mean about the loos! We went to the Hop Farm Festival for just the second day and, by the evening, the facilities were pretty unpleasant.
Roy - O yes, we have ponchos :)
subtorp77 - Thank you!
Wings & Betsy - You could say there are stages of stages. ;D
Brian - We're rediscovering the festival circuit now that our kids are grown. I love the fact that there's such a mix of people and ages.
kimy - A and I fell in love with Austin. What an amazing city! Really sorry our paths didn't cross there. We are trying to work out how and when we can go back. SXSW is very tempting ... Unlikely to manage it next March, but I think we'll try for 2011.
nice post
i like that last shot, he looks kind of resigned but still good humoured
