These might be the headliners

hmmm...... at least my ticket was cheap ;D
-
Strokes, Arcade Fire, Soundgarden, Phoenix: solid, but not enough to get me on a plane. guess it will depend on the middle of the bill.
-
Looks ok. I might do it as well, depending on those non named acts. I want to do one festival this year, and i am already ruling out anything with camping. Good thing i have access to an apartment in Chicago.
I will say i do really want to see the Strokes though.

apartment? Party at killsaly's ;D
-
Well, party at killsaly's best friend's Dad's apartment in the city that he rarely uses since he has a house in Joliet and commutes.
-
seriously. doesn't matter where the after party is at, as long as there is one.

FYI, most people drive in & out of coachella everyday, and stay in hotels in indio, palm springs, etc. as both azaghal and i will attest (he on the negative side, me on the positive), camping at coachella is a bad idea.
all that to say that you can add coachella to your non-camping festival options.
-
Coachella would be fun for next year. I will be in class while it is happening this year.

have festivals and the sights and years of doing them dried up yet? meaning, i have done my share in various genres of musical precedence and camping and r-ving and walking/standing for six to nine hours straight . . . and for some reason i have grown tired. not old enough to say i'm too old, and maybe just bored of the fact they can be annoying on so many levels that sometimes you weigh the overall experience out as worth it. or is just me. even this year's all good festival cannot excite me to do it once again with a tent, even though this year's lineup is an amazing feet that walther was able to book. maybe it is just me.

I'm maybe a little bit older than the average poster here and I love going to festivals. Maybe I've passed that stage where I think I might be too old and am into the full fuck-it-don't-give-a-shit phase. Maybe it's also because Lollapalooza is an annual guys' trip thing for me and a few friends every year. I also like give myself a little pat on the back when I prove that I can still hang while drinking beer for 10 hours a day in the hot sun all weekend.
And BTW it has nothing to do (at least for me) with camping vs. hotels. I wouldn't have camped when I was 21.

with festivals like lollapalooza and coachella, you don't have to camp - hotels are the way to go. the festival experience in quite different when you can come back to a warm shower and a comfy mattress. and if you're willing to blow some coin, most VIP packages will ensure that you don't have to stand all day.
-
I'm with you. The allure of seeing band's I've already seen play 1) much shorter sets 2) on a much larger stage 3) with a much larger crowd doesn't really thrill me any longer. As much fun as I had at festivals in the past, most of the memories were formed by the non-musical moments with friends. And it has nothing to do with being old or being tired...I just don't think a musical festival is really about the music. But that's just me.

^Could not have put it any better.
I could see myself doing something like a Terrastock or an ATP but I'll never do another major festival for exactly the reasons stated above. Come to think of it, I've all but ruled out ATP due to their ridiculous prices.
So yeah, Terrastock or nothing. Or a small club "festival" like DNA Test Fest or Maryland Death Fest but calling those festivals in the traditional sense is kind of a misnomer.
-
I'm with you nkotb. I just kind of tired of the scene...I've skipped a couple years (not counting VirginFest, which is local for me), but I did pick up a Lolla 2010 ticket mostly because I love Chicago so much, and looks like friends are going this year as well. Had tix to Bumbershoot last year but no one was going, and I have no desire to 'fest' alone.
-
I knew y'all would come around to my way of thinking.
Welcome to middle age.
-
Full disclosure...I'd still probably go to any festival that didn't require travel to see Ween, the Stooges or the Jesus Lizard. And then I'd come back here and gripe about the crowds and sun.

so y'all are no-goes for Freefest?
bags has already claimed a "local" exemption... ;D
-
Based on past line-ups? No. It's just not my thing. But I wouldn't judge anyone from going...at least not publicly :)

The local+free combination leaves me willing to go if the lineup is worth the effort of driving there.

Neat idea.

soundgarden / green day / lady gaga / arcade fire / the strokes / phoenix
You can also see spoon, the new pornographers, devo(!!) in there

Is Pat Sajak curating Lollapalooza this year?
-
I've had high hopes for The Strokes return, assuming that time and maturity (and AHJr, FM and JC being galvanized by nice side projects) would give them the confidence to do what they do best . . .then I read this blurb online which sort of makes me wary, considering 'the last record' was a huge mistake
Casablancas is adding lyrics and vocals later in the recording process for the album, which is expected in September. "It sounds more like the last record, but I might try to funk it up a little bit," he said.
-
"It sounds more like the last record, but I might try to funk it up a little bit," he said.
That's a death knell. Seriously, just fucking tour on Is This It? and Room On Fire songs, play 9:30, and I"ll spend $75 on a ticket.

Soundgarden above Green Day... really?

are there any bands nowadays that are big enough to go away for 10-20 years and come back for a "needed(?)" reunion.

although i suspect Wilco, The Decemberists, Belle & Sebastien, would make that cut, as unfortunately the likes of Kings of Leon and the Strokes.

Glad to see The Cribs listed. Still hoping they can breakthrough in the States soon. Their show at the Club in January was amazing.
-
theyve played lolla at least once before (if not last year, the year before) and prob more times than that. Theyve played the States a bit too. Unless their show has gotten better, they were one of the most boring bands Ive seen live.

What was the best concert you saw in 2009?
I really liked the Jesus Lizard at Pitchfork. I was blown away by Ida Maria at Lollapalooza. I despise Lolla though. It?s just a corporate suck-fest. Even the things that you see there that happen to be great like Ida Maria would have been a million times better at Metro.
There?s just no danger.
Exactly. It?s Wal-Mart.
I like the way Pitchfork Fest is run.
There?s a real sense of community. It?s hard to walk ten feet at Pitchfork without running into someone you know. It?s much more a music community vibe where Lollapalooza is a shopping mall. But rock and roll should happen indoors at night. The live experience at at a fest is never as good as a focused club experience.
What do you think of the proliferation of festivals becoming the only way some people experience live music?
I think it?s a bad thing. The recurring question I always get when I?m in the crowd is, ?Hey, do you know who this is onstage right now?? Which tells me that the people are not even there for the music necessarily. They?re there to make the scene. That?s always going to be inferior to people who are going to see a particular band because they?re there to see that band.
-
DeRogatis is the joe marshmallow of music critics: if a band plays venues bigger than the BC backstage, he won't like them. i'd EXPECT him to hate lolla, sasquatch, etc. he hated lolla before he ever stepped foot inside. his opinion is predictable and not particularly insightful.
-

duh.

ummm...They're trying to learn about the band on stage. That's a bad thing?

I suppose that would be one thing if it was 10pm on the main stage, but at 2pm on a small stage (undoubtedly this cool cat doesnt go for the headliners) is completely acceptable. Theres only 80 bands on the list so excuse some folks for not memorizing every one of them!
Its actually the great thing about festivals. Put Phoenix and the Strokes on the bill and get people to come and then the smaller bands have this HUGE crowd to prospective listeners that may walk by their stage and be like "hey, who are they? i like them". Festival promoters put these shows on to make money, fans go to hear music, and the bands play because its a perfect chance to get new fans, which means more money.
Its funny how some people dont understand that their favourite band isnt just on this earth for their enjoyment!

I think it's the not even taking the time to know the name of the band aspect that he objects to.
Maybe I'm a bit of a music geek in that I'll take the schedule and map out which stage I want to be at what time. I'll actually take the time to go to band websites and check out a song or two of those I'm not familiar with. I've discovered a number of bands I liked that way.
What he's objecting to is the person who's there primarily for the party of it all rather than the music aspect. Someone who has so little respect for the music that they don't even bother to look at the schedule and see what the name of the band is.
If that same person was at a club show talking their way through the set of a band you liked, you'd be bitching about them.
I guess what I'm saying is I see his point.
-
I was about to write something similar, but you laid it out much better.

It happens frequently at IOTA. Stupid Virginians :-*

so he is irritated that someone was talking to him? or irritated that ppl arent as geeky as him. I would never personally not know who a band was at a festival, and i go to at least one a year and no one has EVER asked me that. maybe that fat dorky guy is just more approachable than i.
though i imagine he is all sweaty and smelly at a festival so i wouldnt go up to talk to him. or stand near him for that matter!
these "all about the music" people are so lame. used to happen in clubs too. get over yourselves!
-
Predictable, maybe. But right. Major festivals are a bastardized version of the live music experience. There, I said it.
P.S. Joe loves major festivals.

festival fanboy
... reacting to a festival-hater.
i don't like free jazz. if i went to a free jazz show and proceded to say how horrible it i thought it was, what does that tell you about the show? not a whole lot. what does it tell you about me? that i hate freeform jazz. other free jazz haters will agree with me, re-post my opinion on message boards (and feel that they've been validated), etc... still doesn't help free jazz lovers figure out if the show was truly a good free jazz show or not.
-
Predictable, maybe. But right. Major festivals are a bastardized version of the live music experience. There, I said it.
would i rather have a full set in a small club by the bands i came to see? sure. but at that club headlining show, i wouldn't get to hear so many other bands (some that i might never bother seeing otherwise, and how many fans get turned on to a band by accidentally stumbling upon them?)
also they're outdoors, and they're a vacation. there's a lot to like about a festival.
P.S. Joe loves major festivals.
ouch. i take back everything i've said.

Whole lotta Lolla as music fest gets bigger
FEST EXPANDED | Park District OKS adding space to allow room for 20,000 more musics lovers a day
Chicago's biggest concert event is getting even bigger.
Organizers of Lollapalooza, the three-day rock music fest in Grant Park, are expanding the concert venue's footprint this year to allow 60,000 more people to attend the three-day event.
That means daily attendance could grow from 75,000 last year to 95,000 this summer.

yeah, thats crazy. I am goin this year unless ACL's lineup is to die for. The lineup is much weaker than most years, but has some good bands, and since i am not paying for a ticket i look forward to perhaps a NOT sold out show and a little breathing room to see Spoon, SXDX and Arcade Fire (whom, no, i have never seen before!)
-
Ugh, it really doesn't need to be bigger. Oh well, I've got tickets and a crew going. I'm in....

got my golden ticket yesterday...anyone else got theirs?

It was terrible overcrowded last year so adding 20,000 people will make it better how? I didn't like the line-up overall so I will probably be selling my tickets. They are also going to increase the distance between stages. As if the stages weren't far enough apart already.

got mine on wednesday, but no longer sure about making it.

I got mine too, kind of cool looking in a way ;D

Schedule out. It's crashing on the main site but here it is
http://consequenceofsound.net/2010/06/08/lollapalooza-drops-2010-schedule/
;D
hmmmm Aracde Fire or Soundgarden??? Def Strokes over Lady Gaga
-
I think it's funny that they call these acts "must see".
Deer Tick a must see act? Are you kidding me?
Saturday should probably feature quite a bit of walking, as must see acts like Stars, Dawes, Metric, Deer Tick, Spoon, Ed Sparpe and the Magnetic Zeroes, and Green Day all playing on different stages.

Having seen both Arcade Fire and Soundgarden I would say Arcade Fire is the easy choice. I would pick Lady Gaga over the Strokes. I have tickets but I am not going. The schedule kind of makes the choice even easier. Adding 20000 fans but making the quality of acts less means I am not going.

aftershows announced: http://do312.com/lollaaftershows
some good ones: devo + dirty projectors, cut copy + dragonette, hot chip + ancient astronauts, phoenix...
damn.
citi presale on wednesday for phoenix, all others: public on sale friday.

i better be seeing wild beasts at the empty bottle. love that place and an awesome band!
-
Devo + Dirty Projectors OR Big Pink? Isn't Congress Theater huge? Not sure I want to see Devo there.
Wild Beasts wins Saturday though the venue is nowhere near a train.
The National + Antlers ... how is the House of Blues as a venue?
-
I'll prob catch the new pornos Thursday show. I never make it out to the aftershows on the day of festival. It's always a mess trying to get out and hurrying to the show. Any of you guys went to any of the ones last year?? Did you guys make it there without any problems? ;D
MGMT aftershow is 80 bucks, ohh those hipsters ;D
-
it's a fundraiser, FYI.
-
wml7: went to 4 afterparties/pre-party last year. Go if you think you'll have energy left after each day...
all venues are close to a train station, except for the Empty Bottle.

Yeah I guess they figure if Radiohead doesn't play their best songs live they can too. When I saw Radiohead they didn't do "Creep", "Fake Plastic Trees", "High and Dry", "Stop Whispering" or "Karma Police" and their last two albums were terrible yet they get more popular. Go figure. I will never see them again.
-
Well, Radiohead can't play every song they have. It's just like Pearl Jam, they can't possibly play all the hits without pissing people off not hearing their favs. I have however seen Radiohead play Creep (twice) Fake Plastic Trees, High and Dry, and Karma Police. Sorry no Stop Whispering, how dare they ;D

Well they only have a few hits so it wouldn't be that hard to play a few of them.
-
Three 8-10 hour days is all I can take -- no way I can make after shows. Age has clearly caught up with me....
-
This has me thinking though. Maybe a different way to do Lolla is just go to Chicago and see what's in clubs. Skip the fest, enjoy the full city, and see a few bands rather than a gaggle.
-

if you're in to hits, radiohead is definitely not the band for you.
that being said, i've seen RH many times and they have never not played at least one of the songs you mentioned.

not a bad idea, but then you'd miss lady gaga...

2010 map released (http://www.lollapalooza.com/in_the_park/map/index.php)
interesting layout, with the new section on the west side of columbus. second entrance is good.
looks like there is one less stage. usually they have one where the "uncorked" wine bar is.
-
So what they've added is that front section with main entrance, green street and Perry's? But end to end, it's the same length, yes?

yup, you've pretty much summed it up. same hike from mainstage #1 to mainstage #2.

So who of you are all here? We should plan the meetup that never happens. I'll be the guy next to the fountain in the park ;D Last night was a New Pornographers pre show a the metro. It was pretty good. Never seen them with Neko Case so that was the first time. Looks like it's going to be a nice day. Great for all three days ;D

Day 1 was pretty good. The weather was nice and should be good again today. Saw a lot of bands. I didn't get to check out the DJ stage still need to figure out where the hell it's at. They made changes this year so it's a little bit bigger, so means more walking to try and cover bands you want to see. Highlights for me were Matt & Kim, Hotchip, and The Walkmen. The Strokes were one of the headliners and Lady Gaga was the other. The Strokes were ok. I just don't see how they can be a headliner. They played all their hits and were done like in 45 mins. I thought about running over to see a little bit of Lady Gaga just to see how it was but decided not to. Here is a review I found on the Lolla board of her show. Quite funny ;D
WHY?!!!!!!!?!?!?!/!?!?!?! Why the hell did I buy into the hype? I am never one to let marketing really influence my decision making process but for some reason I was intrigued. What was I hoping to get from seeing that? I know nothing about her except she is for some reason the biggest thing in music right now. Usually that means shit to me but I was caught by curiosity. Is there something that I am just not seeing? After hearing about the elaborate stage production that they were dishing out for her this year I really was interested to see what was going to happen on stage. What happened was pure utter garbage. This isn't even the music I am talking about by the way, the songs are pretty decent pop dance songs. It's the lack of any realness that bothered me the most. Great fucking intro Ga Ga. We get to look at a curtain for 5 minutes while your cd plays. Awesome. Now I figured there would be backing tracks and barely any "real" live singing so I can over look that. What bothered me I think the most was the blood curling screams and attempts to pump up the crowd with the, for example, "Let's hear it for equal RIIIIIIGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!" chants. Hey, I'm all for equal rights and I am all for trying to pump the crowd, but at least try and make it seem somewhat real rather than "this is the point in the show where I say something to get a cheer from the crowd" It didn't feel real. it felt like while rehearsing for this show you probably went over those lines like 50 times at those specific moments in the show. I guess that sort of thing works on high school girls and gay guys who live in some sort of La LA land. To me, it just seemed like a failed attempt at trying to seem like she is some kind of rebel or hero to the masses. She is not.
Also, the stage show wasn't really anything that over the top. Maybe my idea of over the top is greater than some (i.e. Roger Waters) but nothing about that show had me say "wow" The "monster" on stage looked like a drop cloth with spot lights. It reminded me of Eddie from Iron Maiden if Eddie from Iron Maiden was a fucking roadie with a bed sheet over his fucking head. The sparklers blasting from where her penis used to be was a page out of Blackie Lawless's school of shock and awe. Only thing different was that Blackie Lawless actually shocked and awed people(for those of you reading this who have no idea what Iron Maiden or who Blackie Lawless is, you probably already hate what I have written... go do some homework) Also, what the hell was with the 5 minute long breaks between songs. Costume changes? OK, fine, I'm all about some theatrics (it was the main reason why I went to this stupid show) but give the audience something to be entertained by during that time. Everyone around me, even fans, would start chatting and have conversations and at no point seemed fully invested into the show.
"How can we make Ga Ga's show 2 hours?"
"We can have 45 minutes of downtime."
DONE!!!!!
Finally, like I said, I really know nothing about GaGa but I was willing to not see The Strokes because I had faith that she would actually be worth all of the hype and media attention. And I am not mad that I didn't see The Strokes (which I would have enjoyed) rather I am furious that I actually watched Gaga with the thought that "It's gonna get better. It has to get better." Well, it didn't. It was absolute pre-fabricated pop garbage that the corporate machine is churling out as fast as possible to make as much fucking money as humanly possible because a majority of the human public are fucking morons and need to be spoon-fed a healthy diet of shit. I was one of those morons last night but I learned my lesson. As Chuck D and Flava Flav say "DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE!!!!!"
-
The highlight of the weekend for me was a nearly naked Lady Gaga stage diving 50 feet from me during Semi-Precious Weapons set.
The lowlight was seeing how far Perry Farrell has fallen. During his DJ set with Chris Cox he brought out his new wife and flanked by two singer/dancers, she sang "Call Me" by Blondie while Perry, in the back, was beaming and smiling like a mentally challenged 10 year-old who's just seen his first naked woman. I mean, even Ice-T wouldn't do that with Coco.
The Strokes were good, but short. They were lethal on "Juicebox." But I'm sorry to say, I don't think they can stand each other now. I wouldn't be surprised if they never make another album and just break up.

shit, Brian Wallace, don't embarrass yourself. You came all the way to Chicago to see this FUCKING GARBAGE?!?!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGh9zlN6eLo
-
Anybody see Soundgarden? Curious as to how that reunion set turned out...
-
WOW. That Lady Gaga stage dive was just BAD. Could someone explain to me why she's not on the road to Courtney Love-ville?
-
That's not a stage dive. That's... well, I don't know what it is, but its not a fucking stage dive.
It's more like a stage flop onto the audience in the 2nd row.
-
New Pornos, Stars, Metric, Arcade Fire were all highlights. Go Canada. Mumford and Sons were good as well. Soundgarden kicked ass, very happy to see them play so well, even if they still fucking hate each other.
You could look at the line-up and easily pick up the low-lights. But was very disappointed with Empire of the Sun, who was expecting more from. Their show was impressive, but their music may have been completely canned. Too bad, though playing the woods might not be the best place to see them.

Good:
All the headliners I saw (Arcade Fire, Strokes - even though they kind of mailed it in, Green Day)
Mumford and Sons
Social D
New Pornographers
Gogol Bordello
Frightened Rabbit
Temper Trap
Not so much:
Drive By Truckers
The xx - I like the record well enough but it doesn't work on a hot sunny festival afternoon.
Dirty Projectors
Went to the Blitzen Trapper aftershow on Saturday night, which was a nice palate cleanser after Green Day. Great venue too.
Expanding out to Columbus Ave was a great idea. Never had to wait for a beer or a bathroom and didn't have the crush around the fountain getting from one side to the other.
-
Did you see their whole set?
They came out for an encore. It was THAT great.

i watched 2 songs on youtube, and it looked like what i'd expect - live guitars & vocals, an occasional synth, and just about everything else sequenced (slightly different than purely canned, but i'm splitting hairs). it's dance music. it wasn't written live, so that they chose not to interpret it live is understandable.
they could have used a live drummer, but that's dicey for EDM. most electronic acts (like thievery corp in recent years) don't use a live drummer because a human can't play evenly and predictably enough.
and personally, i think a dance party under the trees is an awesome idea, mostly because i've been at some great EMD parties in the forest. not to say that lolla's interpretation of that concept was successful...
-
What a great weekend. All the freaking canadian bands were awesome.
The New Pornographers
Stars
Metric
Arcade Fire
My favs from the weekend were Matt & Kim, The Cribs, Green Day, Health, and Arcade Fire. Arcade Fire put on a very good set. I was to the far left and pretty close. I was there during MGMT which was meh. A lot of the people ate that shit up when they were on. When Kids was played everyone started rushing forward like it was a must see thing, annoying. I'm hoping those golden tickets go on sale soon again like last year ;D

BEST:
Raphael Saadiq
Jamie Lidell
The Strokes
Wild Beasts
Erykah Badu

Wavves (but drummer needs to shut up)
GARBAGE:
Empire of the Sun (except for the costumes)
Black Keys (is this even music?)
X Japan (cheesy hair metal but very funny band)
The Cribs
-
Good:
All the headliners I saw (Arcade Fire, Strokes - even though they kind of mailed it in, Green Day)
Green Day ROCKED. The music snob perception of them is that they are lame but you HAD to be entertained by them. Green Day's set was like Ted Nugent meets the Buzzcocks.
While a mile away Phoenix was smoking clove cigarettes...
Brian
P.S. But, Brian, Arcade Fire don't NEED fireworks. The fireworks they set off are in your MIND!....and your HEART!...and your SOUL!
P.P.S. Some dude played "Eruption" on a saxophone and they did "Highway to Hell."
-
Disappointments: Wavves - i so hope they just disappear - it was a trainwreck! Nathan's drug issues are great for a BV read - but really I dont need to hear every last detail!
Temper Trap - so dont get the hype
The Dodos - well the highlight was Neko Case playing with them, but they were quite boring
Wild Beasts - eh not that bad, but wasnt totally feeling it (enough that ill skip their nyc show)
Best:
Arcade Fire - nearish front and directly in the middle - awesome place to be! amazing set!
Mute Math - biggest surprise! excellent show
Kissaway Trail - their couple of songs in the Toyota tent were as awesome (enough to make me reconsider the above mentioned wild beasts show as theyre opening)
Green Day - definitely know hhow to put on a show
Strokes - a bit boring, but they sounded amazing
Good:
Devo, Frightened Rabbits, Hockey, Health, Hot Chip, Mumford & Sons, Warpaint
and plenty of other bands Im sure that Im forgetting!
-
GARBAGE:
Black Keys (is this even music?)
How would you even know? You didn't even stay through their set.
-
Four songs is enough to know that they have nothing to offer musically....they should just be an accapella band!

I was talking about the Strokes who mailed it in. Agree 100% on Green Day. Tons of fun - I was even contemplating going to the show tonight out at the seventh circle of hell (Nissan/Jiffy Lube)

overheard people say that Green Day's medley of classic rock songs was terribleeeeee.

Dates for next year announced Aug 5-7, just booked my room ;D

It's Green Day, what would you expect?
I liked it well enough. But hey, I'm old.
-
me and all my friends loved it. it was fun and fit into the show. not sure what on earth your friends (or whoever you heard) was expecting - but they gave it their all and put on one hell of a show. maybe they should have left for phoenix.

Green Day was awesome, GaGa was awful. That blog post a few pages back captured it perfectly -- it felt like a faded carbon copy of a circa 1998 Madonna show. Her banter made you want to poke out your eardrums. And the amazing amazing sets reminded me of a regional touring stage set for "Rent." Didn't bother with the Strokes...they never have done much for me live.
Would have loved to see Phoenix, but I was in for Green Day and I can't believe I chose poorly.
I enjoyed Social D, Devo, Temper Trap (enjoyed them much more once I moved into the crowd -- I wasn't getting the energy when sitting out on the edge of the stage area). Hated Matt & Kim. Somehow they think screeching "fuck" a lot makes you forget there are only two of them on stage.
Saw others that were fine (hot chip, etc.) The xx did NOT work in a venue like this -- nap time.
Missed a lot as I was galavanting in Chicago with friends who live there, etc. All in all a great weekend, but I've had better "music" weekends.

I saw them last Monday in NYC and they did everything live, including a drummer. Was an awesome show! I guess it's a good thing I stuck to Arcade Fire that night though?
Best decision I made all weekend was leaving MGMT for The Temper Trap. Also awesome was winning sidestage passes for the Playstation stage and sitting on the stage for Metric. :D The Soundgarden preshow at the Vic was fun, but not AMAZING like I had hoped. Lady Gaga can sing, but she talked WAY too much. After camping out all day to be close for her show, it pissed me off quite a bit. Devo was a lot of fun, as was Balkan Beat Box, Gogol Bordello (DUH), Mute Math, and The National. I really don't like Green Day, but I have to say, I quite enjoyed their set! I was also a bit let down by Arcade Fire, but that may just be because I didn't have a good spot and couldn't see well. Though at least because of where I was standing, I caught Alex from Edward Sharpe as he was leaving and got a picture. :) It was a great 5 days of music for me, and I'm still recovering!

Nope, I did what any person who knows about fans on message boards does... I went to the Soundgarden message board and begged someone to let me be their +1 for face value. Managed to get my friend in too, it was sweet. ;D Any band with a hardcore fanbase has fans who aren't greedy and just want other fans at the show, thank god...
-
As you should know, as I totally know who you are now looking at your vids. You were at all the Muse gigs I went to. XD I used a bunch of your videos when I was doing that fan edit... and, I assume you use the Muse boards, like any sane Muse fan would, because they're awesome. You going to the Charlottesville show and shit? I'm doing Wembley, woo!

I got a copy of the Soundgarden show from the Vic. Pretty much the best setlist you could ask for. Although 4th of July isn't the same anymore.

Haha, well, I'll be at Voodoo and Raleigh, so if you decide to go, lemme know! :)
