del mar goodness.

The following is a short'n'sweet review of the Del Mar Fair show, by Hailey Gillen, with some media attached. Thanks, Hailey! (Don't forget to check out her pics and videos, there's some really good ones in there! ...including some footage of songs translated to sign language, on stage. fun.)

I've seen Switchfoot in 5 different states, numerous cities, and even a couple countries, but there is something undeniably special about a hometown show. (Their hometown that is, I'm only a wannabe San Diegan). This was my first time seeing them in the San Diego area, and it was an amazing show to say the least.

Only Hope was certainly a standout, with Karl Denson playing the saxophone. It was an interesting and definitely very cool addition. American Dream was also a favorite of the show for me, with one of the longest pauses I've seen. (1:15 in case you were wondering.)

Is there a better way to end a lovely day in San Diego than rocking out to Switchfoot while the sun sets? I think not.

Also, here is what jon said during a blend of We Are One Tonight and Shadow Proves the Sunshine:

"When I was a kid, going to the original Soma, I think that was like 3 incarnations ago, and the idea was, we'd go to see our friends bands play from high school, and the point was, at the end of the night, you probably didn't know half the people there, but you were all singing the same songs, you were all filthy with the same sweat, and that's the reason I started playing music, because of the unity. and, I think for me, I always want to see music be something that brings people together. So, thank you so much for singing along with us tonight, it's the biggest honor in the world. To think that our songs might be something that you would listen to in the car, and might be part of your life, that's an incredible honor, so thank you for that. Thank you."
