Lollapalooza 2010: Day One in Review

I have been very absent from my blog lately, which I am not happy about, but I have something up my sleeve, so stayed tuned for some news.

This weekend I took in all three days of Lollapalooza and had a killer time. The reason I didn't post anything on my site is because I went on behalf of Live Music Blog. It was my first time covering a festival and it was definitely a very cool experience. With that said, check out my review of day one of Lollapalooza.

Lollapalooza 2010: Day One in Review

Phish @ Greek Theatre, Berkeley, CA, 8-5-10

Phish returned to the Greek Theatre for the first time since 1993 to kick off the second leg of their summer tour. The show didn't feature any bustouts or notable covers that we became accustomed to during the first leg, but nonetheless it looks like a classic Phish setlist. Phish will return to the Greek this evening.

Set I: Possum, Wolfman's Brother, The Divided Sky, Funky Bitch, Kill Devil Falls, Halley's Comet > Sample in a Jar, NICU, Bouncing Around the Room, Run Like an Antelope
Set II: Down with Disease > Free, Alaska, Back on the Train, Maze, Joy, Tweezer -> Fluffhead
Encore: Loving Cup, Tweezer Reprise

Phish 2010 Summer Tour Prints

Justin, over at Live Music Blog has put together a post about the Phish prints from their current summer tour. My favorite would have to be Dan Grzeca's print for the tour opener at Toyota Park. Drop me a line with your favorite Phish print of the summer.

Monday Evening Beer Break

A very late, but special holiday posting of MEBB! I hope everyone had a great weekend! On Saturday, I was fortunate enough to have scored two tickets to game one of the Stanley Cup Final! The energy was great and we saw one hell of a game. Last night, I caught the Chicago Fire vs. AC Milan at Toyota Park. The game wasn't very exciting, but I was surprised to see that Lagunitas has some beer stands at Toyota Park! Crack a beer and enjoy some light reading and a video.

Phish To Perform Radiohead's Kid A on Halloween?

It looks like one of the campgrounds at Festival 8 will be themed after Radiohead's "Kid A". While this doesn't mean the band will perform the album, it looks like it could be one of the finalists. It also might not mean a thing. The anticipation is building! Props to Live Music Blog for posting the info!
