Lolla sold out, a record 270,000. I have gone a few times, but the heat is always so oppressive, it's hard to stand it. Two yrs ago I left because I couldn't get near the portos or the water, but I think they fixed it last year. It's a good one mile walk from North Stage to South Stage, not for the feint hearted.

I attended the second one that headlined the Chili Peppers, that is one big old dropoff from Jane's Addiction (who has always been one of my fav all time bands) to the Peppers, still pisses me off to this day because as expected the Peppers sucked ass. Oh and Pearl Jam, but at least it was when they only had songs from their good album Ten so they were acceptable. At least Ministry made the whole thing worthwhile, they rocked!

It chaps me that altho I have a YouTube channel on my Roku, it won't bring in the streaming events. 

YouTube to Stream Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits
 
Depressingly, the article also mentions that this is the 20th anniversary of Lollapalooza.  Sadly, I feel that I would no longer be able to step barefoot into the mosh pit like 20 years ago.  Where's my damn cane?  You kids get off of my lawn!

I'll just say Pitchfork and Lollapalooza were off the chain this year!

Highlights:
Pitchfork with LCD Soundsystem, Pavement and Big Boi
Lolla with Soundgarden, Phoenix, DEVO and Gogol Bordello

and a lot more.

The feeling of joy during those sets was indescribable.

Elvis and the Avetts very cool.

I just got back from Merlefest, and I have to say that was one of the nicest, best organized festivals I've seen.  Highlights were Steve Martin with the Steep Canyon Rangers, Elvis Costello, the Avett Bros, and last night's midnight Jam with members of Donna the Buffalo, Zach Brown Band, The Duhks (wow that girl can sing), The Greencards, Great Big Sea, and a bunch of others. Even had a some gospel this morning with Doc Watson and friends.

Best show of the festival was Scythian, who rocked a dance tent like I've never seen a dance tent rocked before.  I mean WOW. My new favorite band...

Also great (and new to me) were Cadillac Sky, Nation Beat, and Sonia Leigh + Levi Lowry.
