Jazz Fest - Day 1

They were still building things for the opening day. Johnny Clegg came on stage almost 40 minutes later. He seemed fairly disinterested in his performance, keeping his hands in his pockets for the most part until he had a guitar to play.

Even then, he and his band only performed 4 songs before they wrapped up - and they never even acknowledged Montreal.

I hope that isn't a sign of things to come. I'll next be back there Sunday.

There's a poster for Ray Charles. He opened the festival in 1980. That was the second one I believe.

Edit: Clegg was probably just doing a stage rehearsal for his big show in the evening, and Ray was the first performer at the first Festival.
