Yeap, I saw AIC in '07 3rd row center. The black guy that is singing now sounds exactly like Layne Staley, except he is not strung out on heroin and messing up lyrics etc.
Besides, Jerry Cantrell was always the most important member of AIC, and he is playing better than ever.

I go to BSMF every year. In the past few years they've really expanded their Indie/Roo type bands to at least have an option at all times last year for something. Their strategy is to cater to many different groups.
1. 90s rock/radio rock - past two years include STP, Bush, Sublime, Evanescence, - I'd say AIC fits this category
2. Oldies - Mellencamp, Al Green, Jerry Lee Lewis
3. Rap/Pop - Cee Lo, Pitbull, Jason Mraz, Ludacris
4. Indie - MMJ, FLips, MGMT, Mumford
For me, it's impossible to find fault with a festival that I can pay $55 dollars last year for three days and I saw MMJ, Gary Clark Jr, Dr. Dog, Head and the Heart, Grace Potter, Florence, Allison Kraus, Civil Wars, Gambino. Stages aren't too crowded. Usually rains but it's not too bad.
This year the presale is $65 and that's still a bargain.

I love FQF and miss living near New orleans, but I don't think I'd consider it eclectic. It's all New-Orleans style music that for the most part, you can hear through-out the year.
BSMF is designed so that most fans can stay at one stage for most of the day and not intermingle.

Through Hot Wire, the Special Low Price. It ended up being the Madison, which we got for 133 a night instead of the 276 that they are charging!!! Cause we ball like that.

Anyone needing a hotel, go to Hotwire and plug in the address 130 Peabody street Memphis. Or put on Tom Lee Parks address. Set the search to "by distance" on the tab running along the top. It will bring up some 4 and 4.5 star hotels that are less than 1.5 miles away. The 4.5 star turned out to be the Madison for me. But you dont know which hotel you are getting until you book it It was 130 a night. Their website has it at 276. I've stayed in sooooo many nice hotels this way for super cheap. Protip of the day.

I'm betting they had to squelch that because the Crowes had not yet even announced they were getting back together, let alone announced tour dates. The Christmas Day drop was a pretty big surprise. Given the opening the day before and after New Orleans there's a very good chance they'll be in Memphis.
