ReplyDeleteFor shame!
How were the Killers and the Raconteurs? Looks like you were one of those "special VIPs"!
ReplyDeleteYou're having way too much fun! Rick.
ReplyDeleteWalter,
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of you the whole time- and how you and I would probably not have spent anytime together at the festival b/c our music tastes differ so... :)
I heard Phil and Trey, but didn't go close enough to take pictures. Didn't stay for WSP- they were the last band Sunday night and I was sooooo wiped out (and not a big fan). Sorry.
you should come next year! You would fit in well with the crowd!
Dave,
ReplyDeleteI have tried to not like the Killers (b/c I think Brandon Flowers has too big an ego for a band just on the rise), but there is no denying the talent. The sound was great (which is sometimes questionable at an outdoor festival).
The Killers are from Vegas so this was a homecoming type show. Flowers first statement to the crowd was "I can honestly say, there is no place I would rather be".
You met Mr. T ? I'm SO jealous!!! Looks like you had a blast.
