Andy McKee Live 2008

Andy McKee performing live at the Underground Cafe on my campus (2/9/2008).

List of songs played:

Art of Motion
For My Father
Rylynn
Africa
Drifting
Ebon Coast (Thanks SheddingSkin34!)
Tight Trite Night

When I was late to class one morning and saw a poster advertising that Andy McKee was coming to tour on my campus, I stopped my feet and stared wide-eyed at the poster in disbelief! In small part because no one cool ever comes to my campus, but mostly because I didn't think I'd ever get the chance to see Andy play live.

Andy is fabulous live, and many times he sounded better live than in his studio recordings. The sound, you just can't capture that sound in a recording, you have to be there. In addition to actually getting to see his amazing style of playing in person, it was also very rewarding to be able to hear Andy's thoughts on his songs and to see him interact with the audience. Andy is a very friendly, down-to-earth guy and it was a great pleasure to be able to see him perform tonight and meet him afterwards.

I also took the opportunity to buy a couple CD's and have him sign one of them. :) Which made me very happy. :)
