ChiCity and Lollapalooza

[DoTheFandango]

any Chicago TWers in the house? I'll be in the WINDY CITAAAAHY for the weekend for Lollapalooza. lets get shitfaced and high together.

Hope your gonna do more than Lollapalooza, what an odd lineup compared to the days of old and the touring Lollapalooza festivals.

Perry Farrel must have needed the money after his last dismal release.

Don't get me wrong...I would go for Wilco, G-Love, Radiohead, Gnarls, Blues Traveler and many others, but what a heavy price. $80 for a single day pass and $205 for a 3 day pass....I'd pass too, especially since I already know the soundboards of most these acts are already gonna be floating this way.

RATM...hmmm, I thought Zack de la Rocha would have self destructed by now after all these yrs. I liked Rage back at the `93 lollapalooza tour. Makes me wonder what B.S. Zach will spew in this tour. God knows he hates everything about the U.S. should be interesting to see them play.

Have fun DTF.

i got the early bird, which was 175 I believe.
a ticket for Radiohead and Rage and Kanye and Louis XIV and Girl Talk, it's pretty respectable price, TBH.

In my old age and preference for 300 and less at a venue, I will take the digital soundboard recordings. Enjoy though...I worked for William Morris Agency back in the late 80's early 90's and worked 3 yrs of palooza. Was fun! Shame he won't tour this fesival though.

I thought about it ... then saw the prices for tix =(.

So how was it?

All the pre-concert hype, I was hoping for a re-cap on the event. This way I can get a feel for the perfomances I want recordings of.

I was just curious if DTF came out from CT to see the shows.

I went to rothbury, earlier in the summer. $300 for a ticket, huge event.

i ended up getting a job as a security guard, worked one 14 hour shift, bailed, blended in with the crowd, and got in for free.

saw Modest mouse, primus, of montreal, black keys, zappa plays zappa, slightly stoopid, snoop, among many others....

i'm not sure how much press it got outside of michigan, but it was a huge deal around here.

[DoTheFandango]

it was amazing!!!!!
I waited around 5 hours straight in the same spot to see radiohead and it was soooo worth it.

and yeah I went from CT to ChiTown, we had a place to stay though.

I should be getting some of the recordings from this fest. I know my bud missed Radiohead, so that one will be doubtful, but when I get the lineup of what was recorded I'll let ya know. I am pretty sure he was board patched for G. Love and Malkmus....at least I hope I heard him correct on that.
