We just got back from one of the shows I was looking forward to seeing this weekend. Brian Setzer Orchestra. Brian was playing down at the east stage this afternoon at 1:30. He played sounds from his current Brian Setzer Orchestra Band like "Dirty Boogy", "Jump, Jive and Wail" and also played some tunes from his past band Stray Cats like my favorite "Rock This Town". The weather is beautiful blue skies to set the mood for this relaxing sunday afternoon here at Woodstock 99. We are looking to head to yet another favorite of mine "Rusted Root" which plays on the west stage.
From a culture stand point, we can see that the great 12 foot wall that lines the perimeter of the concert area has been randomly taken down. So this concert has seemed to have turned into .... Whoever wants in, now can just walk in. As you look across the east stage area you will notice that some individual has taken the big USA Flag and is now flying it upside down. Obviously there is still war and peace spirit running free in this little event of hundreds of thousands.
More to come. Also check later this week for more in depth coverage as we try to digest all that has happened this past week.
