(Goddamn those) Shaky Knees Festival, ATL

[layin low]

Finally dried out and back in NC after a great weekend. I'll agree with everyone on here, twas a great festival considering it being a first-year event and the elements. Jim put on a great show, so glad I got to see him. Sometimes the rain just energizes both the performer and audience, and that's what happened here. Gary Clark Jr., Band of Horses were great as well on Sat. and then Drive-by Truckers just killed it on Sun. Lumineers probably shouldn't be closing a festival, but it wasn't horrible. They did cover Have You Ever Seen the Rain, which was fitting.

Be interesting to see next year's lineup. I found out that this festival is indeed named after the line in Steam Engine, so I'm sure they'd love to get MMJ in 2014.

Will also say was a little disappointed in Delta Spirit...they were incredible when I saw them last, opening for MMJ in Greensboro but sloppy this time around. Lead singer was blasted out of his mind.

On the flip side, seeing Dr. Dog for the first time was awesome. Really impressed. Wanted to make it out to Shovels and Rope, but got there too late. At least we had a bit of sunshine before the rains returned Sun. afternoon.
