The concert was at Chastain park Amphitheatre in Atlanta, GA, Saturday, September 13, 2008.
The venue was pretty packed. It was interesting that a large contingent of the handicapped spaces were parallel parking.
I should have taken a real camera with me since the iPhone’s camera was unequipped to handle the lighting situation. Missy Higgins was the opening act. It was great to hear some of the old songs, as well as three new tracks from the new album which is set to be released in February 2009. They gave us the actual names of two of the new songs, but not the third one, which they said had only been played six times previously.
Emily made a comment that it was really great to play on stage at Chastain, where she had attended quite a few concerts herself. They also sang Happy Birthday for Marie, one of the friends of Amy’s nephew, who was attending her first concert at Chastain.
A few of Amy’s younger relatives came out on stage and sang a chorus of This Little Light of Mine at the end of Let It Ring, during the encore.
