All summer long I stood tall through some of the worst weather to hit New York City in decades. From a soaked June to a scorching August, I definitely had my fair share of Mother Nature’s wrath. Yet nothing upsets me more than a good show being cancelled because of a few lighting bolts.
That was the case this past Tuesday when the B-52s show was cut short by some of the most powerful lightening I have seen in a while. Even though I was enjoying the once-in-a-lifetime experience of this classic party band, cancelling the show was the right call. The B-52s got to play several awesome songs, then had to leave the stage 4 songs short. But luckily DJs Casey Spooner and Laruen Flax of famed duo Fischerspooner kept the crowd going with an incredible set of house music.
Unfortunately I did not get to hear “Rock Lobster” and “Love Shack,” but I still had a fun night on Governors Island. Apparently I’m not the only one who had a fun time. Dan Aquilante from The New York Post wrote highly of the event and mentions Governors Island as the best outdoor spot to see Rock n Roll in New York City.
There are only 2 months left in the Governors Island concert season, but they are packed with more great music. I cannot wait for Badfish and Easy Star All-Stars next weekend, then N.E.R.D., Mos Def, Lupe Fiasco, Buckethead, Brazilian Girls, and 50 Cent. The weather will cool off, but the music will keep on burning!
