Quick Review: John Common & Blinding Flashes of Light at Parfet Park
by Tim Weilert on Aug.21, 2009, under Concert Reviews
August 21, 2009 was a Friday that was quite unlike any other in Golden history. For it was on that day that the Colorado School of Mines welcomed, and moved in, its largest Freshman class to date. As a person concerned with furthering community at Mines I was up bright and early to help frantic Freshmen (and their parents) begin to acclimate.
After a long day of work and running around I found myself at Parfet Park enjoying John Common & Blinding Flashes of Light. The relaxed atmosphere, complete with picnics and playing children, made for a swell evening. Performing for about an hour, Common & Co. played a number of new tracks from their forthcoming record, and passed out stickers to the excited younger members of the audience.
