ollie Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 I'm going straight after work to see Tyler Kealey at the Hard Rock Stage. Then probably wonder around until Black Keys > Van Der Graaf Generator > Jeff Beck.Man has it ever turned out to be a nice day! Let's hope the weather holds.

bradm Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 I don't have any specific plans before Jeff Beck, so I'm just going to wander between stages before he starts.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Wooly Mammoth Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 feels strange not having any bluesfest plans. planning to see the free george clinton show on thursday night (my kids ar excited to see the giant diaper guy!), and then i'm of to beijing on friday. planning to do the final saturday and sunday.speaking of which...a buddy was telling me that friends who have seen Lynyrd Skynyrd in recent years have been very positively surprised by how good the shows were.

Rob Not Bob Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Van Der Graaf Generator were awesome ... thanks, Oliver and Christine for keeping me company with my weird ass prog rock before heading over to the main stage. Only things missing : no encore and they didn't play Childlike Faith In Childhood's End. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Wow, Jeff Beck was terrible.I'm not sure if you're kidding or not, I thought he was amazing! I saw him years ago at Massey Hall and that was pretty less-than-spectacular, but I enjoyed him a lot tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only things missing : no encore and they didn't play Childlike Faith In Childhood's End.Van Der Graaf were great! I wish I'd stayed for the rest of their set, Jeff Beck just wasn't what I expected. Meh. Nice white pants though.Overall, a great first night at Bluesfest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollie Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Tip for those sneaking in beers: make sure you get a proof of ID wristband before you start drinking them. Otherwise it's a dead giveaway that you didn't buy your beer from a vendor.Oh yeah, they ran out of Creemore again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
