melophobe was fortunate enough to have photographer Angel Priest on hand as Portland’s Pink Martini helped celebrate Oregon’s sesquicentennial with a rousing performance of Oregon! Oregon!. The basic plot revolves around two 1859 explorers, whose encounter with a witch, results in Oregon’s birth, with the catch that it will be swept into a bottle 100 years later without citizen intervention. Thomas Lauderdale helped create the new fourth act of this curious tale, and from Angel’s photos, it looked like an incredible show!

Agreed. I saw him open for them as well and was happily surprised by his talent.

openers don’t tend to blow me away and when I saw him open for Atmosphere, that’s exactly what I was.

Wonderful, wonderful pictures. The type I always wish I had in my own album. We saw 3 of the 4 Oregon Oregon shows, and you captured the essence. Perfectly
This looks incredible - I wish, like Rebecca, I had seen some of these performances. I guess I’ll have to wait for the bicentennial!
can we purchase some of these pics from the Zoo?
Great post. Saw Pink Martini in their only date in Scotland in 2005. Fantastic show.
