Well... I am boxed in for a few hours. My house is in the "cradle" of the "Y" of the two main arterials leading from Moncton to the Magnetic Hill concert site in the north end. At least 60,000 are expected at the concert which begins in about 90 minutes. They will undoutedly sell a bunch more tickets today.

Sirens have been ongoing. The RCMP chopper is overhead routinely. But, amazingly, the weather has cooperated wonderfully. It's been over 30C, humid and little wind for quite a while, with searing UV indexes and nasty thunderstorms thrown in to wake you up if you can sleep. Now... 28C, sunny, RH 56%, a bit of a breeze.

I did not think ACDC could draw over 60k peeps. I think the opening acts are far better. Perhaps it's the combo.

I just take solace knowing that Sir Paul's concert in Halifax drew far less. And, more importantly, that ACDC won't be on the radio 60k times a day.
