shainhouse Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 and most people are still passed out in their tents... Non stop 24 hour partying with an amazing group of people I can't even begin to list. Had a bittersweet blast with everyone there, partying, jamming till sunrise, dancing till it hurt.Cheers to Mark Wilson again. he does fine work. Also cheers to my musical highlight of the weekend, SMOKESTACK. They kicked my ass harder than I'm been kicked in ages. It warranted a shin kicking beatdown from Schwa, Backbacon and the Hux. These guys are just unreal. blew me away. Jomomma w/Geoff was killer. The new shady groove keep getting better, the John Henry's were great and Diesel Dog was amazing.wow. THANK you everyone. awesome time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark tonin Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 What a great weekend! Awesome weather, sweet music, and beautiful people.Smokestack blew me away ... totally pro sounding, super-tight, great original songs and excellent cover song selections (2 Steely Dan songs and Cripple Creek by The Band), awesome musicianship. It's nice to hear a band that has lyrics to get the head spinning along with the body.Jomomma sounded fat and funky!Diesel Dog had lots and lots of people grooving and smiling and moving their feet.Mark Wilson has an awesome voice!The John Henry's have some great songs ... a little too country for my liking but I'm positive that lots of people will really dig this band.The New Shady Groove and Blue Quarter both played intense sets of music. Blue Quarter has got some of the craziest tones that I've ever heard, and some of the intros and transitions between songs are out there ... super heavy progressive jazz! And I really like when they get funky!Nice to hear Tala with the sitar.We had the right weather for the SilverTones!Passenger ... those guys know how to play!Steve & Crazy Stickbird ... gotta love Shelby and Johnny Kerr. Shelby belts it out, and Johnny oozes music ... reminds lots of us of Levon Helm. Steve Murphy has some excellent original songs!I enjoyed the other bands that played in the afternoon, especially as I was cooling off in the lake. It's so nice to have an on-site swimming hole with clean water, where you can swim while taking in the music.I wasn't there on Friday so I can't comment on and of the Friday bands, but people were definitely talking about GTB on Saturday when I showed up.And what a huge collection of wonderful people throughout the campground ... way too many to mention ... it's so nice to be able to travel throughout the campground and basically stop in and visit anybody, whether you know them or not. It was a very relaxing, super-friendly vibe at this festival, with lots of campfire jams and drum circles.Come the middle of winter I will be itching for the May 24 weekend!!!Peace, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
