It was an intimate extravaganza--with condom giveaways and information booths on issues like rape and reproductive rights--and the performances began with a hush and built to a dreamy sigh.

McLachlan was the first act up, playing a spare, unassuming set by herself, holding only her acoustic guitar, on the third and smallest stage, which was about the size of a tollbooth.
