vegoose baby!!!
The organizers for the Vegoose music festival deserve a huge pat on the back for a well organized first day - plenty of parking space, shuttle service from key hotels, 4 stages of great music with a fantastic lineup! Halloween weekend is usually the first really cool weather weekend in Las Vegas that signals a turn in the season and it really couldn't be a more perfect weekend for an outdoor music festival.Yesterday we went in for The Decemberists, String Cheese Incident, Phil Lesh, a bit of The Shins (all dressed as nuns) and Beck's fantastic live performance with the entire crew dressed as Boy Scouts. They had a tent and roaring campfire on stage and of course, the giant boombox! Dave Matthews with special guests Trey Anastasio and Tim Reynolds closed out the evening with an excellent, excellent jam through their over 2-hour set. My camera sucks, so I've only got sucky pictures - everything looks so friggin far - further away than it is in real life. Hope to able to get some better ones today, even if I have to crowd swim. Moe, Flaming Lips, Jack Johnson and Widespread are on the list tonight.
