OBH4!

[Come Closer]

How soon is too soon for us to flood management's inbox and make sure they release these boots? I can definitely wait another month or two like usual to get them... i just need a statement of intent that we are in fact getting them!

Patience..all is in order. 

I hope you're a person who's well in the know about these being released because my hopes are sky high

Sound guy iirc so yes reliable. We eatin good.

Not much to add but here's my 2 cents...

Regarding the hotel it's bigger than last year (my first OBH was 2017) but all to the good, surprisingly.  More for kids to do (Kids Club was great).  Much better, in fact terrific beach, even though it was so rough they only allowed swimming the first day.

Food is not overall great but I wonder whether the food naysayers tried lunch or dinner at Ipanema.  They had a decent buffet followed by some truly superb roast meat they bring around and carve at your table (several cuts of beef, chicken, pork lamb).  Between that and the breakfast buffets I was pretty happy.  Also heard good things about the Mexican restaurant though we didn't try it.

Like others have said, people were super nice, both staff and attendees.  I'd agree it was a pretty "clean" vibe though make no mistake there was plenty of weed around.  I met really  nice people.

Before I get to MMJ I have to mention that I'm a big fan of PTJ and they killed their set.  Much better than the only other time I saw them live, and it was hugely fun to meet other fans who appreciate where they are in their journey— a band who has found their groovy, psychedelic  voice and is in full bloom.

I am a pretty big MMJ fan but not hardcore enough to know precisely what was happening on night 1.  It blew me away and I knew the set list had to be putting a big smile on diehards ' faces, but not until the next day did I know it had been TF and AD in their entirety.
Nonetheless I loved every moment of the show and knew it was legendary just from how freaking great it was!

Night 2 was my nirvana, hearing my husband's favorite album back to back with my own.  It was a special night and a phenomenal show.  And yes, Cobra was incredibl

Night 4 was also terrific.  It opened up Waterfall to me in a whole new way and I've been listening to it since, finding so much new (to me).

Does anyone know where the idea for OBH came from?  It is such a great concept and even more incredibly SO WELL EXECUTED— never feels crowded, totally mellow and constantly mind-blowing at the same time.  I will never miss it if I can help it!  I hope there's a 2019 though it sounds like maybe not.  Anyway I'd bet pretty high that it's going to happen again!

Fun fact, as I continue to process these great shows I think of little moments, after Evil Urges the song finished the last night, Carl's little boy brought out his guitar for Touch me part 1. Such a precious moment and a smiling ear to ear dad thing. I didn't talk to many people who saw it but I sure hope a video surfaces.

Started with the last night first:

By this point in the weekend I had misplaced my windscreens, so this one was with no "protection."  Of course, this night had the most breeze out of the 3.  However, as I was converting and tracking it, I noticed most of the wind noise was between tunes.  Not sure which gods were smiling on me that night, but I'm glad they did.  Perhaps they were making up for not allowing me to get Portugal the Man since it was way too windy for their set.

Now for the talkers.  As people have said, it was pretty bad back by the board.  After the first night, I was considering moving closer to the stage just to get away from them, but the security of putting my stand at the VIP area fence won out and I stayed there.  Not sure why people would spend that amount of money to go talk to their friends about random things, and not pay attention to the bands, but to each their own I guess.

Excellent shows all around!  Hopefully tonight I'll get to the Saturday night sets.  The Friday night ones are going to be incomplete and take some more work, so I'm saving them until last.  I'll post here when they're up.

Thank You!!

Sounds good, thank you! Do you know how I could listen to this show on the Relisten app? I thought it synced everything from archive automatically but I don't see it.

I saw Carl's son bring him the guitar. Cool indeed.

We happened to be walking to the venue for the last two shows at 9, when the guys were arriving by golf cart. Pretty cool to see them right before going on like that. Patrick was even driving one of them.

toawrds the end of z i think someone through a boatload of glow sticks at carl and the look on his face like "really dude??" - i dont think anyone understood why someone would think thats a good idea in the middle of a sick show like that..

It seems like thats a pretty common thing at a lot of their shows sadly. I remember Jim got hit by one at OBH3 and there were lots of glowsticks near missing them on NYE.

[parkervb]

why would anyone who wants a great show throw anything at all at a band? It's one of the most selfish things you can aside from holding your phone directly in view of the person behind you taking video.

If I saw this, I'd have to channel my inner Jules and  say "throw a glowstick at Carl again" and give em this stare

[Come Closer]

Yeah I don't really get the appeal of the glow sticks. It's supposed to look cool to grown adults? There's an awesome non-stop light show right above the stage.
