Walking over the 11th Street Bridge towards Grant Park, the immaculate city center grounds of Lollapalooza, a pulse emerges in the hot, moist air. Chicago’s grand architectural beauties loom all around with the anticipation and calm that something significant is about to happen.
I don’t like Muse. I mean, I don’t dislike them either. I just don’t particularly find that their music speaks to me. So when I saw them live at Voodoo Experience I sort of went into it with next to no expectations. Being the headliner there must be added pressure to end things on a high note, so to speak. And I have heard time and again that their live show is down right legendary. Well shut my mouth and paint me a unicorn…the tales were true.
On Saturday, the Department of Flying Vehicles opened its doors for the first time to a motley crowd of art and music-starved east-siders.
