Attending a rock concert at Deer Lake Park is my favorite summer evening past-time. The Best Rock Concert Tickets I purchased at the park was for Feist. She absolutely blew me away. The Deer Lake Park itself is a magnificent venue for just that type of band. It’s a stunning outdoor venue unlike any other outdoor venue. But, it’s really hard to get to, it’s located in the middle of nowhere. A place called Burnaby.
Most out door venues that I’ve been too only offer flat fields to view the band, but here at Deer Lake, the stage is at the bottom of a hill, so no matter where I put my blanket, I have an excellent view of the stage. The backdrop for the venue is a lake and if the concerts being performed during the right time of the month, you can watch the sunset as the full moon rises behind the stage. How magical is that?
The venue, though, can’t handle when a crowd arrives all at once. I missed the opening act because all 8000 people showed up at the same time. We were wrapped around the outside numerous times in a zig-zag pattern, kind of like the long lines a Disney Land. But, once inside, I had a good amount of time to find a good place to put my blanket down and relax before Feist began to play. And boy, was her performance well worth missing the opening act. She came on stage with her guitar in hand, a cute little dress and began to sing from her ‘Let it Die’ album. The crowd roared and I was in heaven. A highlight for me though, was a little side show of shadows that played on the backdrop. During each song Feist sang, a shadow story would be performed by her assistant using her hands, some cut-outs, flowers, branches and a few other props. What a get way to not show videos, but to bring back memories of childhood with the shadow stories. I wanted to stay there all night and just be transported away to Feist’s world and stay there for an eternity.
