Favourite shows: Black Mountain Dead Weather Toots and the Maytals Oumou Sangare Cake Iron and Wine Les Claypool Blue Rodeo

Yay- I think CAKE is my most anticipated show of the festival.. Yahoo! For those arriving early- check out Concession 23- a great local bluegrass band on the Black Sheep stage- 6:15pm.

I wonder if its Green Sparrow band/material? I love that album!

KISS has a song called 'Lick it up' ? mmmmm.

Great work Todd, you are really good at this!

No apologies here... I hated it!

I totally thought CUBE would've done all the verses. I thought the whole show overall was -- ok. Didnt seem like they had planned too much- especially for the 10 minutes Cube left the stage.

10 years gone; 5 years gone? oh maaaan. MORE CARLETON SHOWS!! Best 'venue' on earth!

The weirdest thing is- Natty Matty made that post 4 years ago! whooooooaa. Regardless- this event should occur again. Same venue please.

How was Scott Weiland looking? thin-ish?

YAHOWHA13 in the Barney Danson Theatre!! These guys sound INSANE. Like, literally insane. From their BIO: "Founded in 1969 in the Los Angeles area, YaHoWha 13 is a psychedelic rock band fronted by Father Yod, spiritual leader of a religious cult/commune called the Source Family. The band recorded nine LPs full of their extreme psychedelic sound with tribal drums and distorted guitars, all completely unrehearsed. Members of The Source Family, who lived in the Hollywood Hills in the early 1970s, decided to fuse their musical talents and spirituality by forming an improvisational, psychedelic music group. They began to press LPs in 1973, all of which were recorded after hours of meditation at 3:00-6:00 a.m. in a soundproofed garage that served as the musicians’ studio at the family's communal residence. All of the records with Father Yod’s participation were completely improvised, with no rehearsals or overdubs. Most of the albums were pressed in small runs of only 500 to 1000 copies on the the Higher Key label. They were sold to the general public in Father Yod’s wildly popular vegetarian Source Restaurant for $10 each. Though only nine LPs were produced and released, it is rumored that more than 65 albums were recorded by the group but were lost over the years. The band changed members occasionally, morphing into various incarnations, from Father Yod and the Spirit of ’76 to YaHoWha 13 to The Savage Sons of Ya Ho Wha, Yodship, and Fire Water Air; but the key players were always the same: (Djin Aquarian on guitar, Octavious Aquarian on drums, and Sunflower Aquarian on bass). Sky Saxon of The Seeds occasionally appeared with the band. In 2007, the surviving members of YaHoWha 13 (Sunflower, Octavius and Djin), reformed and played several gigs in Los Angeles and San Francisco. In June 2008, they signed with a new booking agent out of New York and began touring domestically and in Europe in 2008." Can't wait to hear what Sunflower, Octavius and Djin get up to tonight!!

pretty, pretty... pret-ty.... good!

That crowd was unbelievably chatty at Iron and Wine- which really took away from the show. We kept moving, but everyone seemed to be talking. His analogy about the Escalade with the thumping music, pulling up next to the car having a quiet chat was bang-on, the music from other stages was adding to the distraction. Also, is it just me or is there a dramatic increase in drunk douchebags this year? You know the ones who are double fisting beers and chanting college slogans, huddling together and dancing some kind of east coast jig at the expense of everyone nearby. Just an observation, and maybe its just the luck of where I've been standing. on a posetive note: Oumou Sangare was awesome!

punk- have you heard/seen the bass player JB is touring with? Tal Wilkenfeld? Wowserz!! Tasty fretless licks for a 21 year old. She has a trio with Wayne Krantz apparently. Vinnie C was also amazing. Todd- great log! The other guy wrote about someone wanting Jeff Beck to sing at their wedding- wtf?

Happy Birthday man- might as well go for a chicken burg.

I think if me and Stapes had a baby, it'd look like that fourth dude.

yes mam, pm me your number and I'll come by this eve after work! thanks mshux!

Hey dudes- anybody got extras for the Saturday 4th? Me and moeron are dying to check out Bad Plus, but dont care too much about Al Dimeola.. If you got ticks you dont want lemme know! kiss

I guess it should be noted they were all playing novelty instruments. Except Fishman.

Oh yeah- I didnt hate 'Time Turns Elastic'.. the composed sections were pretty elaborate!

Both shows were great for different reasons; but that first night was just dark'n'funky with a great flow, particularly the Maze, Lizards and Ghost. A couple of 'why now!?' moments as well, but thats all part of the ebb and flow that makes Phish so special. Big improvement since Hampton, which I thought was good too.

Jimmy JAZZ- awesome!! Have fun Pablo!

Great work 'ersh! I didnt realize you were such a skilled actor!
