So I\'m back, tho not technically "home", and I gotta go to work soon so here\'s my quick review of the weekend....
Overall- Great festival! the lines into the venue did not take me long at all, and we got set up and ready to go in no time.
Music-Umphries again put on an awesome festival set (not sure why i didn\'t like them much when i saw them at toads)
Sound Tribe was groovin, but never hit the big peaks that i expected (and their live set was way better than their PA set in my opinion)
Hallucinogen in Dub was probably my biggest surprise of the weekend, i had a great time with them (simon posfords live band)
The biscuits brought the HEAT all weekend. Right out of the gates, Bernstein and Chasnoff had peeople gettin doooooown!! My favorite set was probably first evening set on friday. My favorite songs were definitely the bernstein first night, the magellan the second night (seeeeeer jam, barber finally doin something really cool), and the song that nobody knew the last night (2nd to last song of the last set, before they played Sound 1)
but obviously the big highlight for me was the rooockin breakfast set saturday afternoon. when i first got there , 10 mins before they were supposed to start, there was practically nobody there. by the time they started coma after a lengthy opening jam, there were a couple hundred of people payin attention. by the time i walked around during the beginning of buquebus, several hundred people were gettin jiggy.
for me overexposure was the monster of the set. buquebus was really really good, and it sounded like matt was added a little riff to the opening that i dont remember jordan playing at all (but i am the uber-newb that has seen more trio shows than quartet shows) and i agree with zuke- not overly tranced out, just funky ass rock n roll. Tunage was pretty short, and unfinished (no drum roll + end section)
overall, lots of fun, great was to start my last day of the fest- and great response for the band, which they obviously deserve.... i can only hope they\'ll be back next year.
awesome awesome weekend. bennyboomers-great tunes, great times, thanks for drivin buddy, don\'t be upset about mother nature takin us down, there\'s only so much you can do when your up against a tornado.... princess, zuke, nick- sweet seein you guys and gettin down with they heady breakfast (thanks elisa!)
gotta get to work now, peace
