Have you heard the news?

So I went to a concert lastnight, Heuy Lewis and the news it was at this place called Mountain Winery in Saratoga. Which I discovered was not just a pretty name it’s up on the top of the mountains looking down on the whole bay the drive up was slow and steep. When I got up there the view was fantastic basically almost the whole bay laid out bellow me.

I headed in to the gig found my seat which was on a set of benches a fair distance from the stage but still not bad for the relatively low price. This being a winery there were tastings gallore, since i was driving I abstained from the demon drink. Most didn’t the warm up act some sort of blues or bluegrass group had a fairly empty arena. They were pretty good and it kept things interesting.

By about 8ish the main event started Huey Lewis and the News playing new tracks and old even the odd a capella number.  I took  a load of terrible photos it was too dark and the stage was too far away and this is on a camera phone but the odd one might be ok :D

It was the most disturbed concert in terms of the audience sitting still every one was constantly getting up and going off then coming back later. I think it must have been the wine that did that.

The concert ended at about 10:30 I had an early flight the next day so I was keen to get home but it took me half an hour to get out of the carpark and then down the mountain.

All in all it was a pretty fun night out with some good music it’s the sort of thing I’d like to do again hopefully next time I won’t have to fly to Portland the next day … but that’s a story for another post :)
