    She's an awesome artist...she sealed the deal with me when she produced the PJ Fenway/Boston poster last year...a poster that I think will go down as one of the best made for the Dark Matter Tour.  She also did a great job on the Nashville poster...

    Bands that made me really happy to be there (that I didn't have any expections for):
    Stereophonics-knew them a bit and were so impressed to see them live for the first time
    Rainbow Kitten Suprise-don't know the background beyond what can easily be found, but thought the lead singer had a killer voice and the band was very tight....
    Wet Leg- (so much fun to watch them) - seems like they are the young band that we will be hearing about for a while--their "hit" Chaise Longue (correct spelling) had everyone going and the younger crowd was cranked for the whole set
    Royel Otis-wonderful new band--
    James-maybe the most engaging band of the weekend.  Lead singer ventured deep into the crowd...but the reception was measured...I have known them for years and was pleased to see them live for the first time.
    Mdou Moctar-Muslim rock...that rocked

    Bands that were good and I knew they would:
    Lukas Nelson-graced with his dad's pipes...but isn't a copycat version...he is a lot more raucous and a more proficient rock guitarist...fun to listen to.  Unfortunate that the audio was spotty when he opened with EV singing Breathe
    Deep Sea Diver-such a good band...give them a listen if you haven't already
    Garbage-Shirley Manson is that person that I would accidently try to strike up a convo with at a bar...and she would just tell me to f-off.  This band was fun in 1996 when I first saw them...and she still can (crankily) command a stage
    Tedeschi Trucks Band (winner of the "i don't know why were invited...but we will kill it" award)
    Margo Price-tight band but a bit more reserved than she has been when I have seen her in the past

    Headliners:
    Eddie Vedder & Earthlings-Enjoyable set...only recommendation is for Andrew Watt to turn down the solo volume and maybe enlarge the soloing library
    Kings of Leon-solid set and seemed genuinely happy to be there
    Hozier-so much more as a live performer than comes across in his released music--daughter was as pleased as could be
    Leon Bridges-the guy is cooler than all of us combined...could rock a canadian tuxedo with no one questioning the choice.  Great voice and smooth stage presence
    Cage the Elephant-the were so much more rocking than I had expected...saw them at Bridge School Benefit (acoustic) and thought they were great...cranked it to 11 at Ohana and thought that they were really good
    Green Day-felt like the most fan loved set of the weekend...everyone knew every song...great crowd sense of unity to close out the weekend...perfect choice for that slot...


    oh yeah...Amanda Reckonwith was the highlight for me...long live Amanda

    I only went Friday basically to see Eddie, which was an A+.. Chad Smith on drums was great. Kings of Leon were really good, as was Deep Sea Diver. Lukas Nelson was solid, Garbage was ok, Akira was pretty good. Worst imo was Kim Deal.. just didnt sound that good honestly, other than her bass player… Makua was pretty good too. Overall my experience was a 10/10.. looking forward to next year.

    1. Green Day
    2. Wet Leg
    3. Eddie (Sunday)
    4. Eddie and Earthlings
    5. James
     
    On the Sunday, going from Eddie to James, then to Wet Leg was pretty special.

    A few years ago, White Reaper performed, never really heard of them until I saw them as one of the acts, I've seen them since, pretty good.  I've never heard of The Criticals, The Chats or Lambrini Girls until this years lineup was announced.  I've been listening to all 3 recently, I'm getting into them, all pretty good. The Criticals sound like The Strokes imo.  I'm glad Wet Leg performed, saw them recently, they are the next big "thing" I think, great energy when they perform.  

    I need to check out Deep Sea Diver & Royel Otis.  This festival has exposed me to bands that I would otherwise never know.

    Did anyone catch The Alain Johannes Band?  Also, did the dude from the X-files perform?  If yes, how was it?
