I just posted over in the thread about the Bloomington concert, but wanted to say hi here too. I've been a fan of GBS for about ten years but finally saw them in concert for the first time last night. We had SO much fun! (We being my mother and me--one of the things I love about Great Big Sea is that I can play them for almost anyone and make them into a fan!)
I've listened to Great Big Sea during a lot of tough times in my life, most recently during a tough break-up this summer, so it was really great to finally see them live (even if this also involved acknowledging Alan's startling resemblance to my ex-boyfriend...only my ex-boyfriend is a lot grumpier looking!). I was really pleased that they did "Something Beautiful", since that's one of the songs that's been played a lot on my MP3 player lately... Anyway, hello to you all! :)
