A couple of quick Vegoose photos…

A couple of quick Vegoose photos taken with my camera phone.

First, a shot of the stadium stage early in the day:
Daytime at Vegoose

And second, a wider shot of the stadium at sunset during Phil Lesh's set:
Vegoose at sunset

The highlight of Vegoose's first day was without question The String Cheese Incident. Their afternoon show at the stadium was spectacular, yet it paled in comparison to the band's midnight show at The Orleans. During that performance they closed out the first set with a 20-minute (at least) rendition of Michael Jackson's "Thriller," complete with contortionists, acrobats, and zombies scattered throughout the venue followed by a massive balloon drop. (Best of all, the zombies on stage were dancing the exact choereography from Jackson's video.) I doubt I'll ever see another rock concert that will compare with this one in terms of energy, spectacle, and sheer musical virtuosity.

At least until I see another Cheese show.

Did you see Arcade Fire?

Did you see Arcade Fire? They are pretty much my favorite band right now. They probably didn't have zombies, though. Gosh.

I didn't see Arcade Fire

I didn't see Arcade Fire live, but I did see some of their set on the webcast after I got home on Sunday night. Sounded pretty interesting, but I didn't hear enough to figure out whether I liked them or not. I do have a recording of their Vegoose set, and I plan to listen to that sometime soon. With 4 different stages, a lot of bands I wanted to see were frequently playing at the exact same times. Sometimes it felt like I was missing more good stuff than I was actually seeing.
