Rockin’ at Ravinia
George Thorogood was thoroughly good.
The opening act was Jonny Lang, a former prodigy who released a chart-busting album when he was fifteen, but on Thursday didn’t cut it for me and went on for far too long. [21 sec]
After a couple of hours of waiting and listening to him, we finally jumped in for a bit of a sing-along – just bored I guess – but I still wasn’t impressed by Lang. [31 sec]

UPDATE: Upgraded to a Sony XR500V HandyCam. This has an incredible low-light capability – can even shoot in pitch darkness using a built-in IR source – so next time, I’ll be ready.
