Pets is the video you’ve seen all over the web…but the full set gets better and better the longer you watch. Next there was Porno for Pyros…excellent show, I’d seen Jane’s a few times but this was more chill and at the same time weird as a Perry show always is. Just watch and make sure you see the whole thing, that is how the set devolves into a beautiful disaster. Yes mud was thrown around all weekend and Les Claypool got pissed at us all for it but not Green Day…they joined in. Green Day was interesting, although I had seen them once before in a club, I was not impressed, but on this day it was magic and I was a witness to history…the great mud fight. So surprise was the theme of the weekend. Anyway Dylan was amazing that night and to my surprise Peter Gabriel was awful. I had seen Dylan twice before that and was not that impressed because he often looked whacked out on substances and just talked to himself during sets. I have only been able to find the three out of the four best sets that I saw there, the one missing is Bob Dylan. I remember a lot of great bands but there were three or four that made the weekend extra special That’s the way it was then…just go with the flow. Yeah and the no ticket “thing”, well the fences were all knocked down when we got there so we just walked in free concert. When we got there…I don’t remember much except seeing the bands play, and I guess that is the point but I can only remember one friend that went with us, the other five and the driver…no idea. So anyway as a spur of the moment thing we went up there, no tickets, food, or clothing fit for the weather. Yes, you heard me right the back of a pickup truck with no cover…first of all you could not do that anymore, imagine six people in the back with guitars and camping equipment driving on the major interstates today…the police would pull you over in a second. I went to Woodstock 94 in Saugerties with a few friends, we decided that even though we had not prepared to go that we should just get in the back of a pickup truck and drive up there in the pouring rain.
