Re: ***Official Ottawa Bluesfest 2018 thread**
Ottawa show felt a bit like some of the Europe shows. Polite audience lacking the level of familiarity seen at every show in the USA. No appreciation for Warehouse (virtual dead silence when they started to play it), no cheers in memory of Roi during WIA, no “knock knock “ during WWYS, and no sing along “people in every direction.....” during Ants.
Not a lot of hardcore fans. It felt more like a band playing a big State Fair with people out on nice night to enjoy the festival to see a band they may heard of. For example a self proclaimed “big fan” asked me if “Leroy” was still with the band? While I gave him a detailed DMB 101 reply in hindsight I realized that the correct answer is “yes”, .........in so may ways he never left.
