turns out it's been Los Lobos all along! (this is a Village Voice page from '92)

eh, i get why they wanted to do the big reveal like that.

nice! will definitely be getting a copy.

yeah i was worried the unannounced headliner would be someone like Neil Young... i have shed zero tears that i missed the Mumfords. was your disappointment in who the unannounced act was, or how it was revealed?

you can bring low chairs but the center part of the main stage is a chair-free zone. harbor and quad stages have chairs. i don't think rental chairs are available. i think you can bring in food and water but no alcohol or glass. this should be on the FAQ for the NFF site? daily parking is $20 and there are shuttle buses that run from the various lots to the festival site. otherwise, it's a decent walk but not too long (well, long if you've got a couple of chairs and a cooler with you). if you do drive, the earlier the better as your time getting out is shorter. no lie, the 2015 festival took m

i saw Body/Head and the Gunn/Truscinki Duo last night. both were good.

no offense to the mendoza line, but i think this is a bit more appropriate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tif6KhnFcVo

i mean, if the entire press conference lasted for just that one sentence, he *might* have a semi-plausible case (if we ignore all the other shit he's continually lied about before that).

Dio hologram happened a few years ago.

a friend of mine traveled to the Krakow show as well. and he's going to the Montana show later. i don't think he's so good on directions.

i can't complain as i got a good press ticket (about 7 rows up from the floor, about a third back from the main stage on Edge's side), but the 25% seems high to me... if you are on the ends of the 'catwalk axis' i can see how viewing would be tough when the band is on the opposite side, and that said i don't know how wide that catwalk was so maybe it was worse than it looked.

Iceage and Mary Lattimore.

I guess it’s technically Friday so I’ll be seeing U2 in Boston today.

so good. so, very very damned good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIu0GN-jEDQ

Thanks for that post Yaz Rock.

not that i am aware of.

my review of the Bonnie 'Prince' Billy and Six Organs Of Admittance. Wonderful show. https://digboston.com/fotobom-bonnie-prince-billy-and-six-organs-of-admittance-the-wilbur/

John Cale at the National Concert Hall in Dublin.

it's nice to hear some better recordings of great songs, like "Dan Destiny and the Silver Dawn." Brave Words has HORRIBLE production. at one point Martin mentioned that he was gonna re-record and re-release the record as Braver Words but that never happened.

Malkmus/Jicks

i found a last minute ticket to Liz Phair but there are no photo passes being issued. that's ok, it's been a while since i've gone to a show as a civilian.
