Northern Wish Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Josh Ritter was amazing as well, anyone else catch him? You know I did, so I will add it was great and I totally forgot about it when I made my list or he would have usurped Girl Talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed them but I was reading on another board just how horrible they were. They seemed to be lazily hacking through the set. Lots of off key screaming, and messy drumming although they hit some stuff okay, lots of talk of being hungover. Kind of reminded me of nero, summer 04.

Plus the sound was just terrible no matter where you stood...believe me I walked around to find a good spot.At least I can say I saw them play...

NewRider Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Drove past the Bluesfest site yesterday on my way back from the cottage and snapped this pic. I'm guessing this is the collapsed stage from Sunday during Cheap Trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Wish Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 If you look closely in the mess ( you can't see it on the photo) there are lots of equipment boxes everywhere- and not just from Cheap Trick, but also a huge stack from DCFC SEATTLE (Death Cab for Cutie).They've had four cops posted there since the incident: looter prevention?

Rob Not Bob Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Weird question , but did anybody check out Nick Jonas' set? Not something I would normally take notice of, but my eye was caught when I saw on the website that a chunk of his band used to play with Prince in the NPG. Can anybody bear witness?
