Sarah Link Exchange
This page is dedicated to my
experience of Lilith fair. It was Wednesday,August 18, 1999 in
Indianapolis, Indiana at Deer Creek Music Center. I didn't go the
first year, but I did the second year and this year. This page is
about 1999. It all started out pretty early. Three friends of
mine from work went with me. It was real great. The first part we
spent mostly walking around looking at the shops. I had just
passed the "Chick Click" booth. They had cameras and I
was thinking of buying one but didn't. I wanted to save my money
for a shirt and other stuff. A girl friend of mine and I started
walking towards the 2nd stage and stopped by the booth set up for
the mosiac.
y friend and I had put several pieces in
this too. We noticed a band playing and thought we heard Sarah
singing too, so off we went. It was "Wild Starwberries"
and sure enough, Sarah was playing and singing. We ran over there
to see. We were like teenagers again just inches away from the
stage. This is when I was kicking myself in the butt for not
buying that camera. I could have gotten one hell of a picture of
Sarah right there. I was so close to her and it was such a rush
for both my friend and I. Here are some photos of what I saw, and
imagine I was this close...
t was so amazing for me for those few
minutes. I doubt I'll ever get that close up again. I was really
happy.
After that we headed back to our
other friends to tell them the good news. We had lawn seats. I
didn't like sitting so far away, but we waited to long to buy the
tickets. The main concert hadn't started yet, so we relaxed alot
or walked around checking out things. We heard some of the bands
play as we walked from the smaller stages, but "Wild
Strawberries" was the only ones we stopped and watched. We
had went by many of the booths. The main one was Nettwerk. We
stood there quite some time listening to Sarah's music. I didn't
take much money, so I wasn't able to spend much.
Once the main stage started, I
was planted where I was. First playing was "Diane Cox."
I really wasn't in to that kind of music, but I thought it was
real cool for them to be a part of Lilith Fair. It helped bring
in those people that wouldn't otherwise had come.
Next was "Liz Phair."
She was pretty good I thought and performed well. I just wasn't
familiar with her music.
f I had the money to spare, I would buy
her music. Ohterwise, I'd have to settle with hearing her
elsewhere.
The next to perform was
"Dixie Chicks." I don't like country, but I have to say
they rocked the house. Everybody loved there music. I was really
impressed with their performance.
Of course by now I'm really
getting antsy cause I was there to see Sarah, but I did enjoy
their show.
The next to perform was
"Sheryl Crow." I really like Sheryl Crow's music. She
performed really well. but by now I really just want to Sarah.
thought she done real well, but I don't
think her hair cut does any justice. I'v always thought she was a
really pretty woman, but the cut makes her look so much older.By
this time too, It was getting chilly for an August night. It
looked as if would poor rain on us.
Finally Sarah performs.....I am
off my feet and dancing. She opens up playing my favorite song
"Possession."
She sung alot of my favorite
song. I think she is an excellent writer and performer. I loved
the outfit she was wearing. I think she seemed a bit moody, but
still great. The weather still looking pretty bad, but no rain.
After her wonderful performance,
she closed with two joined song. One was "Angel." I
thought it was over way too soon. I'd really like to see Sarah
sing for about 2 hours herself. I know I really enjoyed both
Lilith Fair shows I'v went too. I really miss it and wish she
would bring it back a few more years atleast. The ecperience was
like nothing else, and it's for such a wonderful cause in many
ways.
Sarah McLachlan is a very
beautifully talented artist and I can't wait till she goes on
tour herself. I hope she don't stay out of the light for too
long. But I have to say, if for some reason she brings back
Lilith fair, even 10 years form now, I will be there with bells
on. I loved it and I will never forget that musical experience.
What would have made it even better is meeting Sarah herself. I
won't give up hope...
