come on, you have to have a LTP for "jam".   :-P

only caught the second set on the stream, highlight was simple.

[Multibeast12]

Cought most the first and second on the stream. seemed pretty solid. Kinda wish i decided to go. Seems like it was a fun show to see. Except Joy killed the second set, and bailed to go on a short bike ride to the store when i heard zero. Show of life encore, i like the song don't really mind missing it through the stream or even if i was there.

I disagree that Joy killed the second set.  Everything after Weekapaug was a "bonus" imo.  Maybe you didn't like Joy and Zero, however, it doesn't negate everything that came before it.

Average 3.0. 

Which means, it was great and fun to be at but doesn't bear thorough scrutiny or repeated listens.

Good point, i thought it was gonna end after weekapaug. and it didn't really kill the set, i love zero, thought the beginning sounded botched, i like joy. just knew what was to come so thats why i went to the store. either way, can't wait to give Simple another listen to on my way to boston tomorrow.

Sorry for getting off topic, but I'm not too sure where else to ask.  What is the scheduled start time for set one tomorrow?

I believe 3PM.

[Caravan2001]

Heard the first set up until roses.....really liked what I heard......just caught an ultra dope west coast pacific ocean sunset with the fam, but am  really jonesing not to be there.....

[Superfreakie]

Nice to see Torn And Frayed in a set again. Thought it might find its way into the rotation, supplant Loving Cup as they both have a somewhat similar groove. (I prefer T&F)

So rad...wish they would play Let It Loose though too....

[whatapiper]

I had Simple going through dinner and liked what I heard, sounded like fish was ready to change tempo and keep the jam going before going fading into Bug.

any reports on turnout for the first night? it will be interesting to see if they sell day passes by Sunday

[twatts]

Hooked up during Sand...  Simple > Bug ruled!!!  But they should have quit after Groove...

that IS the best song ever, but how do you do it justice without the backup singers?
