  6. Neil Young and Crazy Horse

    From what I can tell from his setlists and a recent interview I read, I don't think he's playing much, if anything, off of Americana with Crazy Horse.

    Looking forward to seeing Neil rockin' with Crazy Horse in Kitchener. I'm not a big fan of the venue but it's hard to pass on a show like this when it comes to my home town. Edger, I'm surprised your not heading to the local show.

    Cheers, Mark

    You're welcome Jeff! The lineup for the weekend looks sweet to me, especially on Saturday, and I was hoping to make it up there for part of the day/night on Saturday, but at this point it's not looking likely ... just too much else to take care of this weekend.

    I assume you're playing with Friends of Hefner? Anybody else? Maybe Springsteen?!? :)

    Peace, Mark

    Yes, the PA was absolutely cranked for Big Gigantic, which did indeed make them sound gigantic! I wish they had done the same thing for ABB - I found the guitars quiet in the mix at times. That wasn’t an issue the next night at Darien Lake.

    I enjoyed the G Love set, but I too was disappointed with the lack of songs from the new record (only one I think) and because I wanted to hear him with a keyboard/organ player. He was good, but I missed the fourth instrument. Sorry I missed ALO and Tea Leaf Green, but this boy needed some down time. Caught the second half of the Wood Brothers and wished I had been there for the whole thing. But it’s hard to do it all.

    Railroad Earth was really good but it took me their set to get my dancing legs back together - sorry I never made it to the 10th row for their set but I needed some time further back on the lawn to get recharged.

    I didn’t know much about the Flaming Lips going into this festival. I sort-of enjoyed their set, but I’d like to see them in an arena where I could fully appreciate their stage theatrics and videos. They did cover King Crimson’s 21st Century Schizoid Man, which was a big treat for this King Crimson fan.

    Really enjoyed The Bridge. I’d go see them again for sure. But I think they no longer are together - it was a reunion show for the festival if I remember correctly. Pimps of Joytime were lots of fun from what I recall.

    Great live music experienced outdoors with friends - so sweet.

    Peace, Mark

    A great festival weekend!

    Was part of a 6 car convoy of friends from the motel to the festival on Thursday morning. Spent about 90 minutes in line at the festival gate, got in and parked, and decided that we were going to haul all of our gear to the wooded camping area, as the car camping did not look very appealing. As we were transporting our stuff to the wooded area, we got got rained on ... big time! I was drenched from head to toe and was glad that at least some of my gear was packed in boy scout fashion, ready for the rain. The rain ended up being a blessing, as it cooled things down and brought us all closer together as we dealt with the adversity.

    Once the rain stopped and we got camp set up, it was pure gold for the rest of the weekend! Our camping area in the woods was fantastic ... big trees and lots of space. The main concert area was only a 10 or 15 minute walk, and the grassroots stage was even closer. Lots of tasty food choices, and we set up a camp shower. It was great to start each day relatively clean before turning into a dirty hippy!

    The music ... stellar! Personal 5 star highlights: Trampled By Turtles, Bobby's set with Hornsby and Marsalis (and others), Phil's set (Jackie Green was freakin' awesome as one of his guests), Yonder Mountain String Band (as a huge Talking Heads fan it was a huge treat to hear them cover Girlfriend is Better), Galactic (their guest vocalist had an incredible range), DSO, ABB and Lettuce (super-funky and holy sh*t can Eric Krasno play guitar). Oh yes, and guest slide guitarist Roosevelt Collier sat in with numerous bands and repeatedly blew minds!

    I would definitely go back to All Good at this new location. My only real complaint was at times I thought the sound mix was a little off or a little quiet. But it was easy to move around within the concert venue in order to end up in a better sound pocket.

    On Sunday morning, a small group of us decided to head out early in order to make the journey to Darien Lake for the Santana and ABB show. That was a great decision, as it split up the ride nicely, and more importantly, both bands were on fire at Darien Lake! Go and see this double bill if you can!

    I would definitely go back to All Good at this new location, and hope to make the journey next year!!

    Peace, Mark

    Was really digging G Love's new album.

    Ditto on the new G Love. I became a fan after seeing him at Gathering of the Vibes a number of years ago, and this album reaffirms my belief that he's got more depth and substance than some would give him credit for. In addition to his fun factor.

    Stoked to be headin' to this festival!

    Peace, Mark
