The Stereophonics played the medal ceremony in Vancouver this past Saturday. I felt bad for them as the crowd was not the normal rock show crowd. Many people left after the victory ceremony that was telecast from Whistler. At one point Kelly Jones even played a few bars from über Canadiana band The Tragically Hip’s “New Orleans is Sinking” but nobody noticed. I did though! Thank you!
A few Welsh flags were visible in the floor crowd, but mostly the crowd was made up of a small group of Olympic concert-goers. In any case, I enjoyed the show, but it’s a safe assumption that most were there because it was something “Olympic” to do. Don’t hold it against us Kelly Jones and Co. Please come back an play the Commodore Ballroom again sometime soon.
