Sunday started slow since everyone was partying their asses off Saturday night. Sunday was sluggish and my memory is rather blurry.
Caught some of Umphree's Magee from next to stage. I like them.
The big moment was when the original Meters, Trey and Flaming Lips all went on at the same time. Caught a little of the Meters, got a call, got busy, then caught a bit of Flaming Lips since ED recomended them. They failed to impress and I even caught Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots. The lead singer kept trying to get everyone to sing along but only the first row was playing. Everyone else started to walk away. He also kept playing with this nun puppet which seemed a bit contrived. Anyway, I had to catch it on the fly between calls, so perhaps I missed something. ED's taste and mine can be very different.
Widespread Panic closed with Warren Haynes sitting in and it was great. We actually got out of there at a reasonable hour. We thought we had an 'in' for the hardest ticket of the vegoose - Phil at the Hard Rock. WE got there and found it was not to be. Rock Med was shut out. It was a bumpin' scene tho, just amazing. We were all pretty bummed, and sulked back to the hotel, where I cuaght a few hours sleep before having to get up and fly home.
It was a great show. We did some solid work - plenty of trippers. I hope they do it again next year...
