    Nah, not doing much tonight I went to see Kikagaku moyo on Wednesday and I'm going to the other show tomorrow. Enjoy it!

    Sleep's playing the Showbox next weekend and I may go to that. Haven't decided if dopesmoker live is actually something I need to hear

    I didn't believe in reincarnation when I was your age either.

    Pic was before Neil Young's set. 75,000 white old farts and one black dude.
    Desert Trip 2nd weekend was the best concert experience I will ever have in my life. I know I said the same thing about the Dead & Co show from July but this event took it to a whole different level. It will never be beaten. If you ask me what I thought was the best I'd say you can put a very flat bell curve on the weekend with the peak on Saturday. Bob Dylan's music was great (new favorite version of Desolation Row) but his stage presence was pretty static. IMO Macca had the best "show" until Roger Waters showed up and put together the best production the world has ever seen.

    The Rolling Stones took a photo of me (just past top right corner of the setlist) and a bunch of other random folks before their show.


    Macca's crew took a photo of me after his triumphant set. I'm right behind the short gal in the front row in between Macca and his piano.


    Getty took a photo of me having what was left of my brain melted by Pete Townshend.


    my 360 from the front at some point during Roger Waters. By this point I was a puddle of euphoria.

    I was first in the outer gate as soon as they opened and sprinted (which nearly killed me the first day in the 90º+ dusty heat) the ~1/2 mile to the stage. There were about 100 people that did the same thing and then waited for ~4 hours (it was a mostly polite crowd and we took care of each other - sitting down blanket space was respected until the show started and we all covered each other for water/food/bathroom/shade/wander breaks) and but aside from that initial sprint for the rail you could have shown up 90 minutes or so before and still made it to within the first 10 or so people from the center of the stage. The sprinting crew was the same every day which was kind of fun - got to meet folks from all over the US, Europe, Australia and South America. The first day I was on my own but after meeting the five people immediately around me on the first day we posse'd up to reserve spots for each other on the 2nd and 3rd nights just in case one of us got in earlier from another entrance.

    I didn't travel all that way all by myself to not be right up in the business. Super awesome experience all around.

    Awesome, did you score super cheap pit tickets? I'm really glad I wasted more money and upgraded from GA. GA was too far away.

    I was watching the pit fill in every night and thought, "Damn, that is some casual unmotivated people just strolling in at the last minute". A lot of people hung out in the Diamond Lounge until right before the start...as you probably know. I never saw the 100 person sprint though, that makes me feel a bit better.

    Cheap enough! Mine was less than the GA with fees. The cheapest I saw/heard were $289 before fees (so about $360 with fees) on Thursday afternoon, then they went back up. After trying to sneak in from GA on Fri and Sat, one guy I was camping next to bought a 3-day pit ticket for the Sunday show on Sunday - for $550.

    Saw them in SF on the 28th. Rad show. They are still loud as fuck and Heron Oblivion was a solid opener as well. It was a good start to a vacation that included heading to HSB, and drinkin wine at Claypool Cellars.

    Die Antwoord crushed it last night. Literally, up front was so packed that I could practically lift both feet and stay suspended. Ninja did a few dives and crowd surfed. High energy from start to finish. Sounded and looked great. Performance art all the way!

    Rocktober living up to it's name for me.

    Saw Steve Vai do his 25th anniversary show for Passion and Warfare. Outstanding!


    5 nights later was Ringo & his All Starr Band. Lotsa Beatles love, better than I expected.


    Last Fri night was Opeth & The Sword




    With Halloween less than a week away, gotta go see Alice Cooper this week.


    And finally Last In Line this weekend, original DIO members Vivian Campbell & Vinny Appice (Jimmy Bain ( RIP ) was on the new CD too) playing new stuff and classics. Should be fun.

    How was it? I'm waffling on trying to go tomorrow. Seen the Sword twice before, is the show mostly new stuff?

    Kinda considering seeing hawkwind this weekend. That'll require some intoxicants

    They're here in Seattle on Saturday night. Not sure about where they go after or anything, I just happened to see the show's coming up. It's not really my favorite type of music but i try to see shows outside what I'm used to

    I'd definitely make the effort to see Hawkwind. Had no idea that they still toured. Space ritual is one of my favorite live albums. Way ahead of their time.
