Well, I’m back in MN now, but I did end up checking out a Reckless Records while wandering through Chicago. Didn’t grab anything as I knew I was coming home to a stack of packages—5 to be exact, lol.
Anywho, I ended up watching The Beaches and the B-52’s from your list; B-52’s was mostly to secure an awesome spot for Ween but they were surprisingly really solid. I had fun, I danced and sang along. The Beaches were my favorite act of the whole day, besides Ween obviously which was a dream come true for me (The Mollusk is one of my favorites and a very personal record for me). Had no idea who they were to begin with but man were they excellent. Great songs and VERY lively stage act. Loved the girl on far right who would start rhythmically kicking into the air while playing keyboards.
Yeah, I’m gonna look more into them.
Other acts I watched, or saw parts of, were Nick Lowe with Los Straight Jackets, Ride, Guided By Voices, and Streetlight Manifesto while grabbing a pulled pork sandwich.
Overall, a great experience. A person I know tried to talk me into going every year and this year I ended up going and him staying, haha!
Would go again
And hope your experience was as amazing as mine was. Also, were you there all three days?
