Cheating here, but Lauryn Hill at Floydfest


She did her usual 45 minutes to an hour late thing she does to her fans and then it was just godawful. And yes, I actually wanted to see her but maybe the Fugee version.

The good thing about Floydfest is that there are a half dozen other acts going on so could listen to something else while keeping an eye on the main stage, also it was a Thursday, so kind of the warm-up night, speed bump, plenty stuff ahead once I got that out of the way.

Feist was pretty bad, again, expecting the cute Feist not the hard rock Feist...but more to the point her warmup band was the worst act I've ever listened to. ever. Just shut up.

Honorable mention: Loved a bluegrass band Hillbilly Gypsies, saw them at the Carter Family Fold, lot of energy, barefoot, dog wandering around on stage, great stuff. take a break, second set is a guy with...a zither. Zither tunes. Nice, quiet zither tunes. Then he stops and does a eulogy of Mike Seeger who had recently passed away, more zither tunes then he lets us know he recently had his prostate completely removed "and he felt a whole lot better now" Uh, thanks for letting us know about that. Hillbilly Gypsies came back on third set but my mood had been broken, seen 'em a few times since then even heard a whole show on the radio so still good with them. I mean it's not that I hate zither tunes but jeez.
