  1. That opening "Alright" sounds just like the "Alright" that Jeff uses so often in his stage banter.
  2. It was indeed a Nels showcase last night, he was completely on top form. Good work on the beach balls too!
  3. Real Estate were great in the field, not totally my thing but perfect for an early summer evening. What I really liked was their later improv set in the courtyard, trippy instrumentals with trippy video on twelve giant screens.
  4. Correct. Pat and Mike also both played melodica at times, Pat played glockenspiel, Nels played dobro, mandolin, Steel and Spanish guitar. John played acoustic bass, 6 string and (I think) 12 string.
  5. Loved it from slightly to the right of the middle of Joe's Field.
  6. Maybe leave some kind of visitor book so we can at least leave a note if we stop by and there's no-one home?
  7. Ha! That would be a cool finish, but no...
  8. Just watched it - as a 2015 newbie, it was great to see and get a sense of how very different it is from the typical festival. Very well done and now very excited for next weekend. Oh yeah and that last song? Perfect..a dear old favorite and a great fit for that spot in the movie.
  9. How's this for a long weekend?

  10. ^^ thanks for sharing this, as a newbie it is useful. Two questions: (a) how close is Solid Ground camping to Mass MOCA? Seems like it's right door but I thought they said it was a 15 minute walk ( where is Joe's Field on this map?
  11. Nice thread, glad it got bumped. Nothing to add on Neil (Waging Heavy Peace was OK, I agree it got very boring on Pono) but I do want to recommend Joe Jackson's A Cure For Gravity; while JJ may not be the biggest star (especially here in the US), his book is very well done and thoughtful. Also recommended - Redemption Song: The Ballad of Joe Strummer by Chris Salewicz
  12. 120 to Indy last month, 733 later this month to Solid Sound (driving).
