Vote for Change Finale Pictures: Springsteen, R.E.M., Dave Matthews Band, and Jackson Brown

It's late, so these are just a few pictures from the 5-hour-long Vote for Change Finale tonight in D.C. The bands were fantastic and I thought I'd post a few pictures from the event. When I get a little sleep I'll Photoshop the rest so there will be better lighting and such. (Sorry, had to sneak in a tiny camera; small aperture equals grainy shots. I did get some funny, higher-quality pix outside the venue that will be worth seeing.)


The final song was Peace, Love and Understanding. "The people have the power." It rocked the house. This is the entire group of artists including Bruce Springsteen, R.E.M., Babyface, Jurassic, John Mellencamp, Dave Mathews Band, Dixie Chicks, James Taylor, Pearl Jam, John Fogerty, Jackson Brown, and others.


Michael Stipe was his animated self, and proudly showed this shirt at the end of the show.


Jackson Brown wore a Vote Peace '04 from KerryTShirts. Bruce Springsteen mentioned it during the show and said everyone should have a Vote Peace shirt.


I was sitting in the same section as DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe. He was very generous with his time. People were energized to meet him. I was.


And one sorta dark, Dave Matthews Band photo. The audience went nuts for him. He played just before Bruce. (Um, Bruce was last.)
