Point State Park, Pittsburgh, PA.... It was the opening night concert for the Three Rivers Arts Festival, and it was a beautiful evening in Pittsburgh (if overcast).

"I know it costs more money to shop there but this was love, this was love," Jonathan croons on the song's bridge. "I know you had to pay more money, I'll pay money, I'll pay more.
