Old Crow Medicine Show

Otherwise my concert going dollars are all in the PJ20 basket.

dude, how was that show?!?!?! I would have killed to be able to attend one of those gigs

It was pretty cool. Old Crow Medicine Show came out first and members of all the bands performed throughout the night. I personally thought they were better than Edward Sharpe. That guy was kinda full of himself. The girl who sings with them though has a beautiful voice. It was a big party with lots of musicians on the stage throughout. Mumford and Sons will be better when they have another album under their belt. The flow was not great for a live show. Tempo of songs jerked back and forth a lot but the talent was very good. They were clearly the best band performing that night. They brought up a local high school band to play with them on The Cave. All bands and guests came out for like 10 minute version of This Train is Bound for Glory. Just received official best of bootleg from the shows too!

Roger, where are you seeing KOL? Thinkin of going to the Tampa show as well if I can get off work

I'm seeing them down in WPB. My cousin lives down there and I always go down and visit for about a week every summer, and we always try and go see a show while I'm there. We're both big BOH fans and I recently got him into KOL, so it should be a fun show

Single day tix for Blackwater are $25 for Thursday, $40 for Friday and $50 for Saturday. I'm not sure when they go on sale though. And that does not include camping, shows only.
Bear Creek single day tix are only sold from Fri-Sun. $80 for Fri, $80 for Sat, and $50 for Sun. And again, not sure when they go on sale but you'd think it would be soon!

hmmm... decisions, decisions. $80 isn't bad for one night. We'd probably just drive back that night. I doubt I will want to set everything up to camp for just one night. Who knows though. Thanks for the info!

I'm also thinking about adding the Meat Puppets to my list. They are coming to a really small club on FSU's campus the night before the first big home game. The only problem is, there are no advanced tickets being sold. First come, first serve at the door.

I just realized that Bear Creek is the same weekend as the Miami vs. FSU home game. I guess that's out now, oh well.
