Finally back home. Had a blast myself, but it appears that the heat this year combined with the ever-more-divided crowd (the festival has incorporated more and more EDM over the years, so the ratio of inexperienced young ravers and older hippies is closer to 50:50 than it ever has been) led to a lot of problems for others.

It was also weird because a lot of people I’m used to seeing weren’t there this year. But still, I enjoyed myself, even if it wasn’t my favorite year.

Bands I saw in order of how awesome their sets were:

moe.
EOTO
Lettuce
Tipper
Future Rock
The Werks
STS9
Cypress Hill
Pigeons Playing Ping Pong
Phil Lesh
Aqueous
Kung Fu
Umphrey’s McGee
Beats Antique

Worst Set All Weekend Award goes to Led Zeppelin 2, possibly the cringiest tribute band I’ve ever seen.

Sets I’m upset that I missed due to the heat or scheduling:

Keller Williams
Yonder Mountain String Band
John Medeski’s Mad Skillet
Horseshoes and Hand Grenades
Keys & Krates
STS9 late night Barn set
Victor Wooten Trio
Sun Stereo Battles the Pink Robots
