Freak By Night

See you all in the T-Dot!

I wonder if "TED-style talks" is code for brown acid?

Hey! I'm going to that Ryley show too. Perhaps I'll see you there dave-O

If they really wanted recreate the Woodstock experience, they should encourage everyone to come naked!

Yes, it was just a 3 piece band (including Tara). Guitar, bass drums.

I'm disappointed that I jumped on these tickets immediately when they went on sale. That was highly unnecessary, as tickets for decent seats could have been purchased for as little as 10 bucks on the day of the show. Lesson learned. No matter now. I still enjoyed myself. We arrived early well before Tara Lightfoot's 3 piece band took the stage. She's a solid guitar rocker and I enjoyed the short late afternoon set. Sturgill Simpson, I've heard, is a country musician. Or is he? He certainly did not sound very country. This was loud, guitar-driven, heavy jam/blues rock. I wasn't surprised though, as I'd seen this band at the Bluesfest almost 2 months ago. Highly recommended. The Teseschi Trucks band never fails to get me up dancing. This caused some conflict with the people behind us. My brother, my friend, and I all got up to dance for some grooving songs. The folks behind us preferred to sit on their hands. After a couple of songs, some handfuls of popcorn were thrown at us. Then the shouting started. I'm pretty easy going, I don't want to piss anyone off, so I sat down. My buddy continued to exercise his right to dance and the situation escalated. Security was having none of this. They re-located the complainers temporarily to some empty seats a couple of rows in front of us. I've been to concerts all over North America, and I must say Toronto music fans are the least lively. Doesn't matter who the performer is, just sit down and don't move! Willie Nelson & Family played an hour long set of country favorites. A true legend! I cant' expand much on edger's comments, but it was strange how the house lights came on exactly at 10:45 pm, even before the final notes of Willie's set had been played! It was like they wanted everyone out of there as soon as possible. I totally enjoyed all the acts and had a fun time on a chilly, blustery Sunday night on the shore of Lake Ontario.

Hope your birthday celebrations were the best ever DB 2.0!

I had just picked up Dave C. and was stuck in an Ottawa Thursday afternoon traffic jam when we got the word. I was thinking it was a good thing we hadn't even left town yet, but it sounds like we missed out on a lot of fun! See y'all in Albany, and possibly Rosemont.

I'll be there! Have fun and stay dry everyone.

For the first time in many years I went to the bluesfest every night! It was all pretty good. Highlights for me were DMB, Beck, Sturgill, War on Drugs, Foo Fighters. Fun times!

My brother is taking the train from Toronto specifically to see the Eat a Peach set at the Bluesfest. He's going to be thrilled about the after-party at the 27 club!

Give the hippies a break - they've yet to completely master time travel.

Who will I see in Albany? Just ordered my tickets. I actually got pretty decent seats through ticketbastard. Had to try several times but it finally came through.
