They probably won over some new fans. As you’ve probably ascertained, I’m an old guy (39), but I come to Cornerstone as much for younger bands (Deas Vail, Seabird, Eisley, Paper Route) as I do for the older ones (The Choir, Over the Rhine, Lost Dogs).

The man can go, in any direction, as far as he can go. I kind of get the feeling that their music is the sort of stuff that I’ll find less interesting on my iPod in the car than I did live, but their live set was good enough to convince me to take a shot on it. The first band I saw was the Glorious Unseen (who gave us a very “Cornerstone” moment – a guitarist playing worship music in an Anthrax t-shirt – just a funny visual).

I’d like to see this band again with a year of experience. Thanks Trevecca Nazarene University for solving my problem.). You made new friends and enjoyed old ones.

They were Godly t-shirts but some refused to see it. The only disappointment I had was that there were not as many interesting new bands. It’s always good to see each other face-to-face (normally we only interact online) and see what has changed. There’s probably a tortured metaphor to be had there, but I’m not the guy to write it, so everybody fill in your own. Also about a 50/50 split boys/girls.

Unfortunately, the Godfathers Pizza in Macomb has closed. 3.

I think I’ve got one more blog post in me – I’ve got to talk about the bands that rocked my face this year, so stay tuned for that. I’ll be posting my own summary and concluding thoughts about the festival soon, but first I wanted to let things ruminate a little bit and think about the festival as a whole before posting anything yet. In 1991, Cornerstone moved near the town of Bushnell (outside Macomb) where the organizers of the festival purchased a large piece of land, which is now called "Cornerstone Farm". Attendees aren’t just plopping down at one tent and staying there all day; we’re wandering from show to show, catching moments of one band and moments of another. I also see the festival growing to accommodate how we, as listeners, enjoy music. Alright, it’s my last post of the year – let’s talk about bands! *(Including sponsors, staff, contractors, venue, or any other entity associated either directly or indirectly with Cornerstone Festival.)

You did way more than just arrange some vocals and play some guitar, Maestro.

The Gallery tends to be a sitdown sort of venue (with rare exceptions – I was part of the bunch standing up for Paper Route this year, for example), which inevitably leads to come conflict when “younger” bands play the stage (hence the dueling cries of “stand up!” and “sit down!” during Eisley – I was in the front row, so I merrily stayed in my seat and enjoyed the show). So, health-wise, Cornerstone 2010 was probably my least favorite year.

The song is called “Lucky.”  Very vibey.

Seabird – Nice end to the festival. I sincerely hope their label & CD release issues get worked out soon, since I’d love to see more new material from this very talented family! Future of Forestry.

I predict some bleed from the Switchfoot set, so maybe we can learn a couple of their songs and play along with them. I was worried that Deas Vail would get swallowed up on the Main Stage during the day, but they did an admirable job of expanding their stage presence to fill all the extra room, and they sounded great.

That’s an embarrassment of riches, and the band was wonderful as always. And, they’re not all just coming to Cornerstone as one stop on the festival circuit. As it turns out, I think it’s about half people who’ve been, half who haven’t. Mike Roe performed solo and then joined Terry Taylor for an acoustic set.

Musically, though, the year was pretty good. So what is the cure for a bad case of Cornerstone homesickness?

There were a few other impromptu side-of-the-road sets around the grounds, too, but they were mostly acoustic things, including a guy with an accordion trying to make enough tips to pay off a speeding ticket. But through it all, there is still that overall sense of family. But when a horseman appears on the desert plain, he dominates it instantly, his view extends as far as the eye can see, and enemies are exposed to his gaze. But the main focus has been the music.

What happens when one race considers another inferior? I was marvelling at how full their sound was with only three people in the band (they were multitasking, but still…), and the singer mentioned that they normally play with 5 or 6 people on the stage.

Tuesday with just the one main stage show and a handful of generator stages running also helped everyone ease into the fest.

We’ve got about 20. Many hands prepared and … The Sanctuary tent continues to be a great place of heart-pounding Christian metal. When another of those 100+ degree days hits in the future, I don’t think you’ll find me watching any bands at Main Stage. It was then that this persons silo came crashing down and I lost 90% of those “close” people as friends because of a fall-out that happened. Herescope is an online journal revealing heresies and false teachings affecting the church today. After a brief diversion to see Tonight Tonight on the Encore stage (a set marred by sound problems and a struggling vocalist early, but both got better by the end), it was back to Main Stage to see House of Heroes (better than I remembered, and good fun to watch) and All the Day Holiday (not very well suited for Main Stage – they’d have gone down better on Gallery or Encore – but they did a good set, nonetheless). The revised map makes that a whole lot easier.

Rather we are following the one true God together which will tighten our bond to each other and to God. Seems like everyone is here to see someone perform. So, I see Cornerstone growing to have places for these bands to play (with all the improvements to the generator stage area, changes to encore tents, etc.). Quiet Science – Saw them last year and they are so close to turning the corner and becoming a big band at Cornerstone. Essentially one team of kids lines up and the other team of kids jumps on top of the first team until they collapse.

I have always had a rebel streak in me though I never want it to get out of control. I haven’t fully wrapped my head around everything we discussed in this movie and hope to process more of it later, maybe while watching part 2 tomorrow, Conquest of Planet of the Apes. I’ve experienced it myself after many festivals, and am already feeling some of the symptoms. With bands playing Main Stage during the day (a new thing for Cornerstone), it did occur to me that if the weather had been hotter, sitting out in the midday sun to watch bands might have been a problem. Everybody ran with the changes, which I think demonstrate how Cornerstone is growing up again, in ways that will help keep the fest viable for the long-haul. 8.

Loved seeing everyone all gathered in the middle of the grounds and the views of the stage were perfect even if you weren’t down front), the lead signer for Nitengale was standing right in front of me.

The biggest eye-opener for me was the minute I became the youth pastor to a district official. Seems like something that would leave some bruises!

Some of the bands that I hoped would have incredible shows, Future of Forestry and Paper Route, delivered.

In the meantime, if you need EVEN MORE photos of the festival, go check out my Flickr Cornerstone set. Its July 15th. I love how one author describes the desert vs. forests.

Today Cornerstone is officially in full swing! There’s something wonderful about that little piece of farmland that makes it feel like a little glimpse of heaven. As for Switchfoot, they were better than I expected them to be.

So I guess what I’m saying is “don’t be a jerk” and “have some empathy with other people.”  Next year, I’m throwing bottles.

We didn’t get one of the truly glorious sunsets that you sometimes see at Cornerstone this year, but if we had, it would have made an epic backdrop for the stage.
