I was cracking up when he jumped down off the stage and walked up the isle singing and playing his harmonica a really classy thing to do I thought. Anyone else having anything to add about Switchfoot?
I went in planning on hating Switchfoot. Didn't really know their music - but the fact they were labeled a 'Christian Rock' group just didn't set well with me.

However - once they started - I actually really enjoyed them. Not saying I'd go out of my way to see them headline somewhere - but they were really fun to watch and I thought they did a great job in their sets (both Chula and Irvine).

On a side note - I've really had great luck with the openers this year. I liked the Avett Brothers in Phoenix, Mraz in Vegas, Umphrey's in Alpine, and Switchfoot over the weekend.

Beats the hell out of Robert Earl Keen!
