Summer music festivals and or concerts 2014

I agree.. They had a checkpoint off of exit 20 and they were questioning every car that got if the exit. And it didnt get any better inside. I do festivals all over and mj is the worst with cops.

HMM. There were no police at all inside the festival,(Mtn jam) other than a few standing just inside the entrance. I did not visit the camping areas as we rented a house. People were smoking openly and everywhere.

and they got lucky, over 60 others did not

Two of my friends who no longer go made that decision because they were randomly stopped and had their back packs searched just trying to use the bathroom in a base lodge in the middle of the night because it was cold out and she didn't want to use a porta-potty. They had nothing on them, but to just be randomly stopped and searched by police when trying to use a bathroom is absurd.

 

[crank]

I never stay for late night. Maybe it's a different scene then. We use the lodge bathrooms all the time. Funny what a familiar feeling I get when I walk into that lodge. Been skiing Hunter off and on since I was 14... that is over 40 years ago now! I think it is not legal for the police to randomly search someone like that - unless there is some fine print on the tickets saying ou are subject to such a thing?

 

[deadheadskier]

You want to know something else that's not legal? A judge making up an arbitrary fine for possession.

A few years back a buddy's friend had that experience. She forgot she had a small amount of MJ in her purse. She was searched entering the concert field, the MJ was found and she was hauled off to the judge right on site. The judge said she could either get a lawyer and challenge the case or pay an on the spot fine and return to the festival. She opted for the on the spot fine. Judge asked her how much cash she had on her. She said, "$180." He fined her $160 and sent her on her way.

This kind of extortionary Tijuana law enforcement practice is commonplace at Mt. Jam.

Sam Cutler (former tour manager for the Rolling Stones) attended this year and had the following to say about it:

I'm sure many folks had a great time and had zero issues with the police and or onsite security. But, folks need to be aware of what goes on there before attending. It's unlike any other festival in the Northeast in that regard.

 

[crank]

Tijauna law enforcement sounds apt. We were stopped there once and had to shell out cash on the spot. Maybe MTN jam should charge an extra 10 or 20 per ticket and pay the authorities off. ai know a few folks who have had their stash confiscated at the entry , but nobody was charged or fined.

.......or maybe the promoters should consider moving the festival to a more welcoming community that doesn't have such crooked cops.

Is their such a place in upstate NY? That why I like the Peach and Vibes the cops their know and see us smoking and know why they are their is not to stop pepple and give tickets for minor drugs.

Yeah cuz Bridgeport is such a cool town.

 

[deadheadskier]

Bridgeport is a dump for sure, but the police definitely turn a blind eye at GOTV. I think they realize the positive economic impact the festival has on the local community. If they caused problems, Ken could just as easily go back to ILCC.

 

[crank]

I'm saying Bridgeport is corrupt.

 

[deadheadskier]

gotcha

Going to the Peach Festival in a couple of weeks. Get a double shot of Allman Bros.headlining Saturday and Sunday.

 

[WoodCore]

Went down to Bridgeport and caught the Saturday sets at the Vibes last weekend. Big day of music for sure! Kung Fu, Leftover Salmon, Rodrigo Y Gabriella, Dumpstafunk, Umphrey's McGee and Widespread Panic. Listened to the Disco Biscuits set on the way home. Good times and great music by all.

I follow Gunstock on Twitter. They tweeted this photo from Soulfest, a religious based music festival happening now. Good pic.

Highly recommend the Peach Fest at Montage Mtn PA. Relaxed Vibe. Kind of tough to get in and out of if you stay off site and don't pay extra for a parking pass. What is really fun is hanging out at the water park (included in ticket price) while listing to music on the mushroom stage and watching all the hippies walking around.

Lot's of Phisheads there for Trey.

How was ABB last show. I would have went if I had a job i glad you got out their sounds like a fun time.

 

[crank]

They played Eat A Peach Saturday which I enjoyed a great deal and Sunday was really good as well. Derek and Warren trading licks is about as good as it gets for me. ( I play guitar and have been an ABB fan since the mid '70's. Started going to sows when Eat a Peach came out so never saw Duane.) The one thing I really don't like about Peach Fest is the first hundred rows are for VIP only and then there are some rows of seating behind that that you need to buy tickets for . THe back half of the pavilion and the lawn are open. We had a friend there who had a seat ticket and we kept taking turns going up front where it was the least crowded for festival ever and the staff would let you go right up to the front of the center aisle to take pics. (I did not bring my camera) I parked on the side of the center aisle about 10 rows back for a few songs including Statesboro Blues with Taj Mahal singing.

If we go next year (depends on line up) we are going to look into renting and RV and also paying the extra $ for seats. Once up from tin the seating area it seemed like you could go anywhere.

We got there Saturday...I heard they put together a band with Joe Russo, Jackie Green, Joan Osborn, Jeff Chimenti, Trey Anastasio and a few others to replace the cancelled Ratdog set. Was told they were really good but played for less than an hour (6 songs).

Near the end of summer every year, about 100 miles north of Reno in the Nevada desert, tens of thousands of people gather for the Burning Man festival, an oasis for the most eclectic group of people on the planet.
This year the event sold out in 44 minutes, but when it all started as a summer solstice celebration in 1986, it was simply a gathering of a small group of friends. San Francisco-based artist Larry Harvey and a few collaborators built an eight-foot wooden man on San Francisco's Baker Beach and set it on fire.
By 1990, the event had become so popular that it was moved to Black Rock Desert in Nevada to provide more space for the masses.
Over the past few years, Burning Man has become more mainstream, with attendees from Silicon Valley, such as Google's ex-CEO Eric Schmidt, and celebrities like Diddy. This year, anti-tax crusader Grover Norquist is expected to partake in the festivities.
Tickets for Burning Man go for nearly $400, but that's about all you will spend, because once you're there, it's all about sharing. Nothing is for sale except coffee and ice.
The main attraction comes at the end of the week with a procession and, reportedly, an epiphany during the lighting of the Burning Man, a huge sculpture made by volunteers. Last year, it was 40 feet high.
Afterward, the whole gathering is gone without a trace.
Organizers say that trying to explain Burning Man to someone who hasn't been there is like trying to describe color to someone who is blind.
So, even if you're not burning in Nevada but just chilling at home, perhaps after you watch this video you'll be able to say, "Now I Get It."
