Vapour Trail Live: Festivals

Summer in the Northern Hemisphere is right around the corner and it's time to get ready for festivals and live shows. Sure, it's getting cooler in the Southern Hemisphere (sorry Greg!) but we've all enjoyed outdoor festivals and wish we could go to a few more. I managed to pick all live songs, though they weren't from the actual shows but Meagan found a recording or two from the festival she saw the band at and Greg played some bands he wishes to have seen live and at festivals.

 

So sit back, relax and enjoy the tunes we picked this time around. No worries of cost, travel, traffic, hotels, talking audience members, sightlines, overpriced food or sunburn, just 3+ hours of live tunes and reminiscing!
