On this night, for this length of time, we were all friends connected by the notes and lyrics of a band formed a decade ago, in a city thousands of miles away. And in that same moment, with a sideways glance and a knowing grin, the five friends on stage did what they knew best, what they loved. In an all-inclusive acoustic set, the band had a chance to sit down and jam around their roots, with just a few thousand admirers looking on. In this they could remember where they had been, what had brought them through the years, and how far they had come.
