Yes, I was watching and crying buckets.
First, the capitol police just asked the crowd to disperse. Then the MC said to follow the directive of the police, but that the show would go on. It did for about five more minutes, then the capitol police ordered the show to stop.
Too bad.
really too bad....my wife and i were saying there are 1000’s of people who travel to DC just for that concert to pay tribute...
i think the only reason they carried on another five minutes was to give PBS an opportunity to cue up last year’s show...it was actually kind of creepy vaguely hearing the PA announcer after the Trace Adkins song...
