I suppose we could say that this was just the Chicago Park District overblowing the situation-> The rain didn't fall until half an hour after they stopped the show and the lightning wasn't that close.

But with that many people there I guess you can't take any chances. The first set was basically a warmup and the DWD was going places until it got ripcorded.

Had some afterward. I bunch of us snuck into the disco tent in the back for a while before we were kicked out. For the rain we were under a pavilion at the yatch club nearby. Now when Page made the announcement, he said it would blow over in half an hour and they'd come back (not that the decision is up to him or anything). No one told us the whole thing was cancelled really. I went back into the venue around 10:30 or so and went to the front row where the crew finally told us it was all over for the night (11pm cerfew). I then got drenched walking back to my car in the lot at Soldier Field.

Interesting night...
