bouche Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 we were at the bridge to hull after assuming no more music....and then we heard echos of music so we hiked on back to the show and saw the crew setting the gear all up on the MBNA stage with excitement. There was zero security volunteers at the gate at this point, I expected mass anarchy but everything was under control. We knew we were going to get a rocking set. The sky cleared up and began showing it's sparkles. The band rocked it out. I even managed to get into the photo pit after all that and captured about 100 shots.

Hartamophone Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 I'm in Ottawa for work for a few days and will be heading to Bluesfest Saturday night. Would be great to run into some friends and skanks.Hope to see you. If I do' date=' please make it easy on me and reintroduce yourself - NYE is still only a very fuzzy series of snippits.What will you be seeing? I will likely bounce along randomly until The Hip.[/quote']Will be looking for you guys, for sure. I'm in meetings all day and probably won't get there until 7:30 or 8:00. Like you, I'll be doing some meandering before settling at The Hip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 If anyone finds themselves with extras for tomorrow, the 13th or the 16th- I'm in need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Day 3 is posted. Not photography from that night. Access was limited from what I heard from other photographers, and I stayed home that night anyway. I'm still trying to catch up and post galleries from the other nights too.http://bit.ly/nnJhU8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freeker Posted July 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 hey rosetta were the first ones out after the stormNo wonder! When the storm hit they had a huge raging crowd that was eating out of their hand. I bet they would have gladly kept playing in a hurricane to keep that vibe going.

Ms.Huxtable Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 I just hope one day all wedding DJs are this good and these songs can be enjoyed with the whole family, in a poorly decorated gym, while creepy old Uncle Mookie watches from the shadows, motionless. Excellent perspective and writing Jay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 IMHO The sound for The Funky Meters was sub standard and created less than the perfect enviro.Huey was top notch.Josh Ritter was completely sublime. If you missed it, I'm sorry for your loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Wish Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Although I agree, and the filled gopher hole is testament to the drinking that took place, the fact remains: "This video is private".... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Boy 2.0 Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 i found Ritter to be rather too pop-y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 What am I missing about A Perfect Circle? I like Tool a lot but APC's set last night was boring. Their sound and look reminded me of a heavier Disintegration-era The Cure, minus all the good songs. I do not get this band at all.Peter Frampton heckling the popcorn guy with his mouth guitar was hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak By Night Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 A Perfect Circle = Tool Lite (very lite)I saw Frampton last summer, he heckled a lady in the front row with his "mouth guitar" - this lady was on her crack-berry the whole show. Hilarious!Leon Russell and his band put on a fun performance last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 i found Ritter to be rather too pop-yIn a Ryan Adams/ Beauties kind of way- which is fine by me. Different strokes....Maybe you just needed a floppy bottle full of Glenlivet 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Wish Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Not only for its looks, but for its intrinsic ability to break the will of every one of us who vowed to take it easy last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booche Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Maybe you just needed a floppy bottle full of Glenlivet 12.Ironically, a floppy bottle is what caused Catphish to get knocked up in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Boy 2.0 Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 I would've also accepted:That floppy bottle was in Tungsten's pants before I put it to my mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Gruvsten Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 The Floppy-Scotch night was painfully epic and has now entered the top 10 memorable drunk nights ever....I went from slurring to full-hawaiian before Steve Miller even got going after mixing girly drinks with beer with rum with that f'ing scotch...I cried when I got lost, and perfected new ways to stumble uphill. And I almost texted someone...IN THE FACE!Booche - did ya proud, puked from a moving bike on Carling and didn't fall off! This was a different night mind you...
