Bonnaroo Order of Excitement

[marktwain]

 I mean I don't want a show to be the background music while I play hacky sack, smoke a bowl, dance the same as the 180,000 people around me, and don't shower for three days.  Oh wait, I'm going to Bonnaroo.   ???

This is one reason why I avoid the big festivals.  

I've always wondered how a "scene" sprouts up around certain bands.  I've known so many people that are so turned off by a band's fans that they don't give the music a chance.  But I do like some Dave Matthews.  I'd just rather listen to him at home.

Yeah I was in college in the mid-1990s and at that time it became really cool to wear Patagonia and The North Face and go to Phish, Widespread and Dave Matthews shows.  It was definitely the "in" thing to do.  Eventually most of us got burned out of the 17 minute jams in the middle of every tune and realized that it was probably a lot more difficult to write a great song than to jam for 17 minutes in the key of A minor.  

Anyway, I still have plenty of friends that are still into the jamband thing--not that there is anything wrong with that.  They spend their time and money going to String Cheese Incident shows.

Us old Deadheads have made it a way of life.
17 minute jams - not really trying!

Saw Toots about 20 odd years ago.
It was a magic set! Try and catch him, if you can fit him in.
