Serious lulz @ Mulberry being better than SOSMP. Gonna have to agree do disagree on that one, Esteban.
When I went to Waka in 2010 it was 100% wookfest. The grounds were nice but they were no SOSMP. I was camped in Satellite that year and bathed in that river every day and I went to the waterfall too. SOSMP has much more going for it and more consisent fam.
Haha. Word. We'll definitely have to agree to disagree on that. I think the mountains blow the river valley away, and that's not to hate on SOSMP which I thought was great when I went there. The VIP area for camping is no comparison though, and that's where we spent the bulk of our time when music wasn't playing.

?? I've done both and VIP camping at Waka is actually exactly like GA camping at SOS. I like both places....much more infrastructure at SOS, more natural beauty at Mulberry....(and SOS is less than 1/2 as far for me.)...oh, and waka doesn't have the equivalent to the mushroom stage.
since we're comparing, the site for 10klf was the best I've been to. Natural beauty and designed to do what it's doing. I think there's a big country festival there....permanent bathrooms, a bar with a stage, massive natural amphitheatre main stage, lakes for swimming, great summer weather...I wish that one would come back.
Sarge, and others, have you watched Roxy yet? I went 1 1/2 times through this weekend. Wow. And what is going on on stage is such a big part of the music that it's got to be completely different to see it vs just hearing it.
side note, after seeing this and the Genesis doc, I have a much better understanding of where the music of phish came from.

The VIP camping at SOSMF was just basically a closer spot behind a fence behind the purple hat stage. Only shade was if you were at the fence itself. The shower and bathroom situations weren't near the quality of Waka for me. The shower area had about 5 people taking a dump and it was pretty gag worthy. Haha. I just went outside and used one of the RV water faucets to wash my hair and take a whore bath. I prefer the mountains to the river valleys, but no way do I have any real criticism of the park itself at Spirit of Suwanee. I've been, and I'll go again for festivals in the future.
Asked some folks I met at the Jason Isbell show what new groups they were listening to and the said to check out the Black Lillies...could be a really good add to the undercard for the restaurant stage. Not having Mumford and Sons at HOF doesn't break my heart...but, always fear it could be a lot worse.

that's surprising because you have to work to not be in the shade in GA camping @ SOSMF.
You ended up going to Hulaween, right? I'm wondering what 7x the number of people than what went to Bear Creek was like. Bear Creek was wide open except for the Amphitheatre stage, but VIP has the up-hill location as they told us sound engineers tested, and that's where the best sound is. Of course that was 3,000-3,500 people and not 17-18k. I watched some sets from last weekend, and it appeared that a lot of sets were packed in like sardines (reference GRiZ, Pretty Lights, etc.). I'm guessing they would commensurately put in more bathrooms, food vendors, bars and such to account for the much larger crowds.
Yep, went to Hula. The other time I went was Wanee ABB/Further....seemed about the same size to me. Some workers told us there were 25k. ...got there saturday a.m. someone told me odesza, at the amp, was the most crowded show of the weekend...I saw griz at the amp and that was the most crowded I was. the main stage field was full, but not shoulder to shoulder. we went right to the front for the 'ghoul train' set. never waited in line for beer or bathrooms...the café was not overly crowded....basically, the crowd wasn't a factor for us...oh, we did have to camp out in the field, but we got under a massive oak that gave us shade until late in the day and we had a ton of room. the camping was definitely tight once you entered the woods all the way to the lake and amphitheater.
Coldplay | The Strokes | Florence & The Machine | Calvin Harris
Too ACL for me. Subtract the strokes. They didn't seem to be too thrilled to close out ACL. If at all, I'd take em on Friday. Florence and Coldplay are more than enough though for me.
I really like the idea of an RnB/Soul HL a la Lauryn Hill to mix w what is a generally rock HL.
Obviously nothing to really base it off of but I think we get Coldplay and either one of Flo/Strokes with Calvin/Disclosure. I know it feels too ACL but in '15 we had Beck and Skrillex. Both played ACL 2014.

You're doing better than me. So, I hope we get FlO and Disclosure from ACL.
Hey Hey, how's it been going crew?? Just had to stop in to express my pure hatred for GNR... hey, I get it, I like going down to Paradise City as much as the next guy, but is there a single band that has been more overplayed in history? Eh, even with that, I get it. It seems like forever ago, but I remember watching this live and totally losing any interest I still had in GNR... Pretty sure Axl has no voice by about the 3rd verse... This was 13 years ago, so I would have to assume a 2016 show would be straight shizzzzzz. I demand better for Hangout!
Anyone mention Ben Folds? I think that would be a super fun show for HOMF16.
Gettin back atcha asap re Taxi. May take a few weeks.
For Cure fans that sucks, but I wasn't super sold on their set at ACL a few years ago.
I randomly looked up where the Pixies have been playing and they are performing in two weekends at this cool little fest in Mexico called Corona Capital 2015
Current HL (Flo, Strokes, Colday) Good RnB/Pop HL (L Hill, D Angelo,Beyonce, JT) Legend HL (Phil Collins, Prince, GnR)
I want to see a blend of all three. So, Friday new act would be Flo, Saturday R&B someone off second line, and Sunday someone off third line or I'd rather see a Santana, CSN&Y, Pearl Jam, or Steely Dan for Sunday Closer. Prince Saturday night would be fun. Boz Scaggs is making the rounds. Wish I did not have a conflict tomorrow night or I'd go see him at the Tivoli in Chattanooga. I had a couple younger friends tell me they left Tame Impala early because a) wrong kinda high, or b) too "outer space". Hmmmm.
Even though it's unlikely they're booked 2 years in a row, Umphrey's does play all over the US in the spring and their tour dates end in April in Texas. They hit NOLA but nothing in Bama or FL. That's a month before Hangout so it def doesnt necessarily make them likely but at least we can't completely rule them out.
