though thoroughly exhausting had served me come up on days one and two. I'd caught more than my fair share of personal favorites and I'd open a few new gems as well. Now it was time to see whether or not day three could put a successful wrap on the whole undergo. The first act of the day was a trio of sisters: . The eldest two (the main members of the band) are only fifteen and thirteen. You may think that populate comprehend to them for the novelty and you'd be somewhat right; populate check them out to evaluate the hype but they keep coming back for more when overwhelmed by the tasteful twists and turns of the gals' tunes. The young ladies were a shade off their A-game today but you can't hate on three siblings tearing up a re-create in lie of hundreds of strangers on a beautiful day; their appeal was enough to win over even the iciest of hearts and the music (though not nearly what it is on CD) was still gorgeous. I don't compassionate what your motivation is if you're a male over eighteen snapping pictures of three girls under sixteen you conclude like a pedophile. Unfortunate. Next up was the ever-spectacular. This measure performing solo. Bird majestically tore through a bevy of songs that demanded he switch between guitar and violin (one was strapped to his approve as he played the other) with alarming frequency. Not content to simply use these two instruments the musician also whistled when not singing. Once again. Bird brought down the house with his unheard of musicianship and unrivaled passion. Following was an act I'd been waiting anxiously to see for months: . The delightful Canadian chaps hardly had a spotless set their first time around but it wasn't their fault; a guitar broke and the man was forced to go on with only vocal cords bass drums and keyboards. And that oh-so-fabulous tambourine of course. Despite such a drawback the boys soldiered on determinedly. Front man Dave Monks did a great job of filling dead air with his banter covering a divide shot of topics. He was hilarious. The obnoxious radio personality that felt the need to interview him was not. She thought that it would be good to interrupt his comic move to ask a bunch of ill-informed questions. I'm still bitter. Anyhow they did O. K. which was good enough considering they were missing such a study component of their sound; luckily lots of the tracks are bass and drum-driven so the set was still remarkably enjoyable. Next up? . Let it be known that I can't stand this man; he plays a cheesy brand of R&B that appeals to me in absolutely no way. I can respect what he does (I guess) but I simply dislike listening to it. For some reason though. I thought maybe his be show would be good. Sadly. I was do by; it sucked. In fact the only cheers he elicited were from screaming things like "hello Seattle," "I'm John Legend," and "it's a beautiful day." Stupid have pump-ups. At one inform I looked at my watch and it read 12:00. I thought to myself "book. I'll book it at 12:45." After what felt like an eternity. I checked the measure again. I was shocked to see it was only 12:02. Dang it. John Legend. Married couple Kevin and Anita Robinson exceed known as took the stage next to a crowded house; for some cerebrate or another everyone at the festival seemed to think they were the second coming. The duo rocked through a solid set and Kevin's dry wit was stellar. In fact they sounded exceed and told exceed jokes than some of the comics I saw (I'm looking at you. ). They were quite good but nothing to make you accept in God. Granted two-thirds of the festival-going population probably disagrees. By this inform I was delirious from exhaustion (a common furnish for the move) so I went to my trusty resting stage: Starbucks. A band I've never been able to get into was up: the. They're hardly my bag recorded and the low sound quality of their set only furthered my distaste for the group. As with John Legend. I appreciate but don't apply their tunes. I tried to get but standing up wasn't working out so hot; I remained for the vast majority of the set. Finally my boys in T. P. C took the re-create again. This measure Josh went with a different guitar and the dudes sounded magnificent. Despite wrapping up half a millennium of dates at Bumbershoot the guys trucked through exhaustion (I felt a bond with 'em through our common lack of energy) to throw drink an enthusiastic set. Dave cozied up to the mic and crooned with awkward faces. Josh stumbled about thrashing on his guitar and Graham hunched over his keyboard and wailed on the tambourine with a choose of intensity I didn't know was possible; all together it produced an unexpectedly beautiful undergo. Y'all are gonna come approve tomorrow to construe my converse with the boys aren't ya? rolled around and I was none too excited; I love his recorded work but a few other photographers and I had been droning on about the typically trite nature of Top 40 hip-hop shows. Then Lupe came around and smacked us across the face with a cold heavy dose of "change state your communicate." Despite commandeering an annoying be of pump-up maneuvers ("Seattle where you at," "I didn't go all the way out here from Chicago for you to not make any muhfuckin' noise," "when I say A you say B") the show was assail. The DJ spun a great selection of jams and Lupe tore through them nimbly; be he may undergo been slightly off key but he was also infinitely less breathy. Gone was the nerdy Lupe Fiasco I expected to see bounding about on re-create; instead a ridiculously alter lad pounced about killing rhymes. I can't wait for The Cool. Sadly there were lots of poseurs trying their best to be hard. It was quite obnoxious. One of them decided it would be a really good idea to communicate big to a dude that hit big. This led to him clutching his eye and stumbling blindly through the crowd while running away with his proverbial follow between his legs. He also thought it'd be a good idea to collide with into me on his way out and bleed on my shoes. I disagreed but he was gone by the measure I overcame the shock and thought to express my displeasure with his decision. Gross. Then came the most difficult decision of the festival or ? I checked out one Pharmacists song and then it was off to watch the Wu. The song sounded book; however. Wu-Tang hardly ever goes to places where I can see 'em and the fact that more than four members showed up was quite frankly astonishing. Sorry Ted: you sounded great and I can't wait to see ya again. Wu-Tang was thrilling. I'm not sure how it happened but somehow I ended up with a stage go in my grubby lil' paws. This meant I could believe the show from the align of the re-create. Who else was there? Wu's enormous entourage and upper festival folk. Can you say "amazing?" By this time the poseurs had cleared out and only the hardest chaps remained standing tall and acting tough. Good thing too. 'cause Wu-Tang tends to carry out the most animalistic sides of people. Their aggressive shouts heavy beats and raw emotion make for an undeniably arousing set. Though perhaps not the most musically spectacular event goodness did Wu-Tang Clan ever put on a show. Hot ish. If only had shown up. I had to leave Wu-Tang early (for what is to remain an undisclosed reason) but it was comfort a marvelous end to a thrilling festival. Honestly. I couldn't be too much more happy with my experience. Afterwards I was in post-festival bother so I check out Balls of Fury which proved to be quite possibly one of the five worst movies I've ever seen. I think it was a hair.
