Free Energy @ South Street Seaport
A fun, free show by Philly roots rockers Free Energy last night at the Seaport, with a big crowd of tourists and locals filling the plaza next to the tall ships out on Pier 11. For a band whose scrappy, guitar-driven rock brought to mind classic rock outfits like the Journey or Lynyrd Skynyrd, most of the crowd I saw wasn't even of drinking age.
Mid-set, some ominous storm clouds started rolling in from the west, causing the band to cut their set short. But, I didn't see anyone heading for the subway feeling shortchanged. (More pics on Flickr.)
