this new group Van Ghost is looking pretty interesting. Headed by Jennifer and Natalie from TAB with an all star lineup backing em up. their first single Follow Me came out two weeks ago and it pretty good, bonus with Dominic from Big G on the track. soundcloud.com/vanghost/follow-me

Googled this because I have seen Jennifer and Natalie play in some other jams and they are always great. Looks like they already put this out The Domino Effect, in 2012, in case you wanted to listen to some more of their stuff. Also looks like Natalie didn't have anything to do with the 2012 project, although she is a welcomed addition in my book. Hopefully we get a chance to catch this.
I can only compare Bonnaroo vs Hangout from my experience. Both have pros and cons. 85 bands, 35,000 attendees, plentiful beach front condos within walking distance, nice weather, beach, pool, all add up to a pretty good vacation deal for Hangout. I'm going to try to get to one of the festivals Matt has identified next year.
To each his own. When I was in my 20s, the more mud, friendly gals, booze and contraband at a campout with live music the better. After 40 years of sleeping on picnic tables at festivals, suffering intestinal abuse from eating pizza/BBQ/carnival garbage, going half deaf from standing in front of Marshall stacks at Ted Nugent concerts, dealing with arthritis and all sorts of aging issues, not to mention the booze and dead brain cells, I find a condo festival a real treat. Beautiful everything, a restaurant with great food and service in the middle of the festival, VIP if you want it, pool, beach, king size bed, stocked fridge, delicious seafood, palm trees, a short walk to a 11 am start time and 11 pm with fireworks closer. There is plenty of room to navigate without being swallowed by a pack of 1,000 two day old muddy stinkers...yes...gimme Hangout. When/if you get to near 60...you'll probably say...hey that Bob dude had a point. You will appreciate watching the twenty or thirty somethings (your kids) having fun like you use to and you will also appreciate some consideration when they want to see a legend in their minds get up and play those old songs they use to dance to 40 years ago as a closer. R-E-S-P-E-C-T (that would be Aretha... Krisp)
I thought this was a pretty interesting commentary on Glastonbury vs Coachella.
ACL isn't a camping fest. Comparatively, nor is Lolla which is 75k. Both fests are on much larger plots of land than HOF.
I know this, I was clearly addressing you mentioning Coachella (partial camping), Bonnaroo, Firefly, and Glastonbury.
I said a lot of things. Boy, we are running out of shit to discuss. What's on everyones non fest summer plans? Im in Texas so I think we have 4 more months of Summer.

That would be why I clearly prefaced the statement with "It doesn't really take away from your point"

I just find it funny to first talk about how you used to party soooo hard, but don't do that anymore, and then request "legendary" bands that could only possibly be any good when you're absolutely annihilated.

Fall festivals, Lynchburg Jack Daniels World BBQ Championship, Pumpkin Spiced local brews, Football, weather here is feeling like fall. Got a dove hunt lined up Sept 1st, got tix to UT first game in Nashville, still going try to get OCMS tix and see Chris Cornell in Nashville. High school reunion.
There have been rumblings of the original members of GnR touring. I would want to see that.
I could see it happening at Hangout, but it wouldn't excite me personally (largely due to the terrible reviews I've heard of the partial GnR shows) Also, I will say GnR is far better buckcherry

I don't know if Hangout haters (or more accurately Hangout thread haters) continue to tune into this thread for comic relief or if they simply have to respond to things they see in Recent Posts. Either way, they are gonna help Zen get his thread to 200 pages before next year's fest.
I'm gonna have the most legendary thread of all-time. OF ALL-TIME!
Just in case I'm being referred as a "hangout hater" to clarify, I have been to HOF and it was fun but it just doesn't have the appeal to me that it does for most people because I grew up spending as much free time as possible at the beach. Consequently, I am now immune to the people have for HOF because to me it just means a bunch of sand in my clothes and bag and really bright sun (which is bad for my burns.)
But, the reason I frequent this thread is because so many mocks get thrown around, which I love to do myself. The only problem is the shocking things/opinions that some posters in here have.

You do realize how many pages the Roo headliner thread reaches, right? Nothing will ever beat that dumpster fire

It's like shooting proverbial fish in a barrel. People don't even need to read trolling for dummies or enroll in a Remedial 101 harassment course. It's all laid out neatly on the table Donna Reed style. There are a few reasons for this. One is that the material sometimes writes itself. Next, some individuals are affected and bristle back at times, but it is clear when they have been trolled. 3rd is some of the acts suggested on occasions may either suck or be better served on the casino circuit. And finally, whether goofing or not, it's a mid-tier music festival that we all who go personally love, but the festival community at large doesn't necessarily see it that way. In fact, many on here elevate the level of what it is somewhere just shy of heaven. All that adds up to easy pickings for those looking to spread a little pain and misery.
