That was great. Based on the tweets I saw, the police seemed to be very concerned about this concert. The band handled that very well.
Isn’t it ironic that these men of the people are walking through the protest crowd with their own security force?
They’re a nationally-known band. Don’t they always have security guys with them?
That was excellent.
Great vid, Greg. Thanks.
