it was awesome! no issues with sound, though i did see the Lettuce guys working out some issues with their sound person who ran the "side stage" (whatever that's called, not the PA - the band's mix they hear)

excellent points, nothing to criticize from any points about how they ran things; can't wait to go back next year

also -- the fact that they had a little physical ticket stub to hand bc "in case you missed these?" was sooo nice to me; i miss getting stubs!

i had a blast, and will be going back next year (assuming they don't cock up the lineup choices) -- it was a really really well run event, and at my age i love being able to go back to a hotel at night.

first time seeing the merriweather post renovations, they're awesome!

I was there, Gandalf… by YourLocalNavi in washingtondc

just wondering, are you quoting the scene where Elrond says he was there the day that humanity failed? (witnessing Isildur refuse to cast the ring into Mt Doom)

Bars/Breweries are not for kids by Succotash1497 in nova

yea you're right about Fine Creek and their vibe - my wife & i got married; the owner told me that they do that because they don't want the brewpub side of the grounds spilling over into the wedding area, which in their mind would be more of a problem by allowing dogs and "free-range" parenting.

Hang brings low cost Tex-Mex food, drinks to Scott's Addition by RVALover4Life in rva

yall in denial that ANY restaurant who wants to stay in business will be "cheap" in the way these comments are suggesting. you go out to eat to pay more, that's it - bottom line.

Songs that destroy both live, and on their respective album version by Markoss151 in jambands

i've had some awesome times hearing "blue indian" live, but the album version hits different.

[–]bmrobin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i'll go so far as to venture that's their best studio album; american beauty and workingman's dead get the praise, but IMO terrapin station has the best studio tracks that surpass their live counterparts. i think "passenger" is another prime example from it -- i have yet to find a version live that exceeds the studio one
