Lilith Fair
I went to one show each year. Each time I picked the closest venue where the Indigo Girls would be playing, which never ended up being all that close. The fist year I drove from Albany to Montreal's Stade DuMaurier for the August 17th show. The next year from Albany down to the Jones Beach Amphitheatre in NY for the July 15th show. And the farthest trip of all from Boston to Toronto's Molson Amphitheatre for the August 21st show the last year of the tour.
10 years went by without a new Lilith Fair. I was hoping that it would be revived one day and I got my wish! I went to the August 1, 2010 show at the Comcast Theatre in Hartford, Connecticut. Sarah has said 2010 was the final year of Lilith.

- Great lens, Christene! I've always been a big Sarah McLachlan and Shawn Colvin fan myself and went to a Lilith Fair show in Texas. I always wished, however; that they would've been able to get Tori Amos to tour with them too!
