My opinions on the weekend…
The main stage sucked. As a Radiohead “fanatic” I had, almost (big almost), no fun whatsoever at that show. The only good part was watching the fireworks reflect off the Chicago skyline. Other than that the sound was terrible, I felt like I was in a bar in the crowd (seriously, who talks about what their boyfriend did at the hotel when Fake Plastic Trees is peaking?), and the way the stage was laid out you can’t see unless you’re 6’9″. Not that Thom and the boys didn’t give it their all, but the techs who set the whole thing up should be punched in the nuts.
Rage was pretty much the same deal, would’ve been a good show without the aforementioned problems. Although I do feel pretty tough because someone told me I was getting “too into the music.” Keep in mind this was a 16-ish girl who also thought it was weird I knew all the words to most of the songs.
Well, I’m running out of space, but special props go to NIN, Flogging Molly, Girl Talk, and Battles.

Screw the music (though Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings were EXCELLENT), the high point of my Saturday was discovering the secret flush toilets, for which the line was far shorter than for the Porta Potties.
Anyway, my favorite moment was when Perry Farrell at the DJ tent announced his “special guest,” Samantha Ronson. We’d all thought it was going to be Obama. An audible groan went up from the crowd.

I treked it from Kayne to see NIN before heading out and you could hear Kayne all the way until right in front of the Bud Light stage. That has to be the worst stage in the park. Unless you are on the top of the hill or in front of the stage you can’t see. Neither show rocked my world, but I left the festival aching for next year!

One of the best experiences ever came after the festival, all the people owning the streets of downtown Chicago, singing, cheering. When we all got shoved down to the subway to wait for our ride outta there, the brotherly love was inevitably beautiful…

As an earlier poster proclaimed, I left this festival teary-eyed, once again for the second year in a row. I’ve been to dozens of festivals including Lolla’s 1 through 3 and C-3 Productions has pinned this down and run a perfect show for the last 3 years. We are all lucky to have them for another two years running this show in Chicago. This year, Perry’s Tent was a welcome addition. DJ AM, Flosstradamus, and DJ Momjeans were just a few highlights from there. And for anyone that walked by Booka Shade…HOLY SHT!!!! Blowing up so bad that they took over the sound of MGMT on the entire left side of the stage. The most fun/oddest band for me was Spank Rock. Kind of like Spice Girls meets 2 Live Crew…pretty wild. And finally, Perry with Slash was pretty incredible. I was completely suprised and in total bliss for the entire show. We all left hoping the two of them would form a new band. Can’t wait till ’09.
