That was an awesome concert wasn't it? I agree that change is in the air. You can almost feel the excitement building whether you support Obama or Clinton. I'm glad to see that so many people of our generation are finally getting involved.

"Dave himself said, "Vote for who you want, But I will tell you who I am voting for".

I wasn't able to make it to the show, but I figured Dave would say something like the above quote to the crowd. He basically said the same thing in Dayton, OH, before the last election, when the band played as part of the "vote for change" tour. I think he was more like, "I'm not going to preach to you about who to vote for, but I can tell you who i'm NOT voting for(bush)"

saw highlights on the news though, looked pretty gnarly.

You are not subject to political propaganda and refuse to be bought yet you go to a free concert set on making you vote for Obama? I know he said you can vote for who you want but that doesn't erase the fact it was put on for Obama and had his logo behind them. Now you may have already been voting for him but I'd hate to break it to you buddy but a concert for a politician is propaganda so you were participating in it.

I better go get some steel toed boots because an evil conservative I can't stand change! Way to make generalizations. Good thing they spell the candidates' names on the ballot for you.

Thanks for your opinion,(I am glad that you realized this was written from the view of a person entitled to freedom of speech) as far as your cheap shot to me at the end is concerned... "jog on"

Well, I had a musical blast in an interesting setting.

After hurrying down to Sen. Obama's Indpls. campaign office Wednesday morning, thinking I was gonna get to hear Barack speak and see a groovy rock show, I was kinda bummed to learn that I was mistaken and Obama wasn't going to be there.

Then, when I got to cool Bloomington, I sat in the sunshine with thousands of college students for five hours as Obama's folks -- dressed in green -- walked around asking people to register and vote.

It was all seeming pretty orderly in the late afternoon when the doors to Assembly Hall flew open and people, literally, ran to their seats. Bags weren't searched. Tickets weren't checked. I ran, too -- partly to get a good seat (and I did) and partly to avoid being trampled.

But it really was worth the trouble: Dave played for two hours with AMAZING Tim Reynolds, who can do things with a guitar I have not seen in a live show before.

So, yay. I'm glad I went.

I attended the show and was happy about the way the whole thing went down. I am an open minded person when it comes to this election, and this in no way influenced my decision. I went and saw Bill Clinton speak last Wednesday and then ran over and got these tickets.

I know this event was sponsored by Obama, but I don't feel that they were pressuring anyone to vote for him and attending it didn't cast your support for him. It was a way for young people to see a great concert and also register to vote. After standing in line for 3.5 hours for tickets and then for 4 hours for the concert, it amazed me the amount of people that they registered to vote, who in any other situation would have not. I applaud Obama for coming up with an idea that got kids excited for a concert and in the mean time got them to register to vote.

That's my two cents...
