We skipped the first night of the Albany Art & Air Festival but despite Deb's not feeling well we braved the crowd for the Foreigner concert. We arrived later than we usually do for these things but parking was easy and they still had armbands that limited the number of people allowed to set up on the grass around the pond that surrounds the stage. We found a thin strip of grass on the bank at the side of the stage, set up, went to the beer garden for a light supper, then back to our spot to wait.
The crowd didn't bother the ducks at all; all night, only one drunk wound up in the water.
Right at 8 the band came out and started playing and working the crowd.
For an hour and a half they played and sang and even I recognized every number, which gives an idea of how popular they've been since starting in 1976.
After they left the stage, the fireworks, and our spot on the bank provided a better view than we've had in the past.
A pleasant evening.
