My friends from Philly and NYC, etc. would come down if it were on the weekend. They did for hfstival.

So you're glad you're going to miss Moz, Sonic Youth and the Gomez album live, even though you bought a ticket for this show.
 
 I thought you were just being sarcastic, now I reaize you're just an idiot!

i only complained when the lineup first was posted, and it was just a few bands each day.
 
   all of which besides Sonic Youth and BRMC sucked.   once the full lineup was posted i decided to go (for one day)
 
    has anyone stated that the ticket sales were slow cause NO ONE LIKES MORRISSEY.
 
    sure he sold out shows in LA and NYC but those places do not reflect the entire country.  
 
    oh, and the quasi hippie fans (ones who would like String Cheese) have like 20 other festivals to go to this summmer.

[markie]

There were plenty of other acts I was interested in seeing...
 
 Flaming lips, Von Bodies, BRMC, elbow, Sparta.
 
 All come straight to mind. But that is the point of a festival, from a bands perspective, right? Its a bands big chance to get fans of other bands to see them live and convert them into new fans.
 
 And as a fan its a chance to see bands you would not normally see.

If NO ONE LIKES MORRISSEY, then why did his new album debut at #11 on the billboard charts.  Nothing against Sonic Youth or BRMC (both good bands) but they couldn't sell that many records.

its VERY surprising to hear that from you, but that is always my good point for large shows.
   sure they cost a little more, especially like Coachella and Austin City Limits, but how many bands did i see in the last two years at Coachella that i may have never bought a ticket just to see them, or even bought thier CD , but after seeing them "by chance" at Coachella, i have since bought CDs and gone to thier shows.
 
   Ben Harper
   Idlewild
   Fischerspooner
   Q and not U
   !!!
   Basement Jaxx
 
   just to name a few. its a great point and its kind of interesting to see bands playing thier hearts out in front of 5 times as many people as they ever have, opposed to just another night in a bar.
 
   I'll tell you this, anyone who thinks seeing a band at the 930 club or patriot center is the same as seeing them at Coachella or another festival, is just plain flat out wrong.
 
   sorry bout all that, i got on a roll  

[kosmo vinyl]

while skeeter has a good point regarding time, for me it was a chance to catch up and see some bands i've missed for whatever reason.  see what all the fuss was about... decide who i might want to see or avoid in the future.  plus, i think shorter festival sets cause bands to trim the fat and play the "crowd" pleaser stuff.

I dont know about this release, but traditionally Morrissey releases enter the charts very high up in the first week and then completely disappear by the second week.
 
 Fans are fanatical, no one else cares.

So we must remember this for next year when everyone cries why their favorite bands are playing the street stage at the HFEstival.
