Last night was Last Stop, put on by the UPUA and the Lion 90.7FM. The outdoor concert festival was the second one to visit the HUB lawn this spring, the other being Movin’ On. Last Stop definitely had bigger acts perform, with Titus Andronicus, Matt and Kim, Fabolous and State Radio performing. The weather was also much better for Last Stop than Movin’ On. They really couldn’t have asked for better weather, high 70′s and no wind. The crowd was unbelievable, they estimated 10,000 people were there. Because the acts we so varied there was a large variety of people in attendance. My two favorite performances were Matt and Kim, who provided a really fun upbeat set and State Radio, who started slow but got the whole crowd rocking by the end of their set. Following State Radio was Fabolous, who acted as though he were Jay-Z or Kanye West and brought body guards and required Last Stop committee members to form a human wall to protect him. Honestly, I’ve only ever heard one of his songs, but must of the crowd seemed to know who he was. I guess I’m just out of the loop when it comes to rap music. He caused all kinds of problems though due to his late arrival, State Radio was supposed to be the closer, and had to move their set up for Fabolous. Regardless of the logistical issues, the event was a ton of fun, and I think I got some pretty good shots out of it. As always, they are below.
