I love artists that give great performances day in and day out. I’m sure that it’s not easy to go out there and perform everyday. I also love when artists battle through rough weather giving it there all even though they get drenched with rain. Not only is it annoying to get soaked on stage, but it’s a potential safety risk that not too many people would be cool with.
Owen Pallet is a class act who is one of the most talented men making music today. I wasn’t surprised to see a video of him giving his all throughout a powerful rainstorm at the Hillside Festival In Guelph back in July. I saw it while reading Music For Kids Who Can’t Read Good. Near the end of the song one of the festival people tell him to leave but he says “Let me finish the song” all while risking getting electrocuted and flawlessly finishing the song.
What a top class act, and a marvelous live performance. Owen Pallet is a must see live act for me now!
Check out the performance :

This video just made my day (I must admit a shed a little tear of joy XD)
This is really the PREFECT exemple of how music can make people come together and make them go through anything.
I have no idea who this guy is but I love him already ! And I also loved how the people in the front row are not hiding under an ambrella to support him, and are going even more crazy
