Playing Catch-Up: Sir Tom At the Latitude Festival July 18
Friday, August 27th, 2010
There were two good things to come out of that idiotic site host indulging in name-calling and unnecessary bitchiness yesterday: TJI had an uptick in visits (always welcome) and I remembered that I hadn’t posted some vid from last month’s Latitude Festival in the UK. I also forgot a slew of photos, screen shots, that are quite good. (And thanks to all of you who sent me such nice notes.)
So, two of those photos are posted here and the rest will be added to the appropriate TJI flickr set in the next few days (I’ll let you know).
Meanwhile, here’s almost 12 minutes of Tom singing at the Latitude Festival. The first few minutes are bits of Strange Things and Burning Hell. This is followed by the complete Nobody’s Fault But Mine and Didn’t It Rain. I included the first part because it gives an excellent idea of what the crowd was like that summer Sunday. The last two songs are very good and it’s especially fun to watch the musicians and singers with Tom. Of course, that’s Ethan Johns with the beard. (If you can ID any others, please email me.)
You can watch it in the TJI.com Video Library.
