It was a hot, muggy night along the waterfront at the E-Center. The atmosphere was amazingly relaxed and mellow when I got there. The stages were placed very unstrategatly for crowd access. I had never heard of the first seven acts. Me'shell Ndegeocello played a mellow eclectic set with Sarah McLachlan singing a song with her. She was surprisingly good, but unhappy with the crowd response. Next, came the Medieval Baebes playing a half hour of new age chant music on the second stage which was barely visible to people with really good seats. The Dixie Chicks were great, pouring all they had into their 45 minute set.Natalie Maines was all over the place, belting her songs out with her compadres, Emily and Martie harmonizing with her and doing some excellent banjo, dobro, guitar and fiddle work. The crowd was polite to them, but why they were there seems mysterious, they really seemed out of place to this crowd. They had to leave out one of their standard cover songs"Love me like a man" for obvious reasons. The Pretenders were next and did a good job on their hard rock set, each act by the way becoming increasingly louder, I was surprised at the massive sound system at the venue which I had visited many times before. When Sheryl Crow came on the place went nuts. Beer and hard liquor had been flowing freely all night, and it's effects were starting to be noticeable. She put on a good show, but not what I expected, her band played almost with a heavy metal intensity. I had to leave after her set because of the oppressive heat and wild crowd which was 80% female. Trivia, Lilith definition from Webster's dictionary: -in the demonology of the Middle ages, she was a famous witch.
