I think you meant this for Day Three, but I will make a note of it

For as good a live representation of MMJ as you are likely to find, I'd point you towards the DVD Okonokos. Yer' welcome. -Glen

Rilo Kiley is amazing, Sir Bicho. I'd suggest The Execution of All Things first, followed by Under the Blacklight.

I am not much more than a greatest hits fan of Prince at the present time. There were a number of factors in my leaving before he went on that went into my decision. There was a good 20 minutes to wait before he was scheduled to come on. My legs and feet were already starting to feel sore, and I knew there was a full day ahead of me. I didn't pay for the the ticket so it's not like I lost anything in the transaction and since Oscuro was there, I knew it was going to get covered. Considering he didn't finish until 1AM, and I still had to pack up from where I stayed in town, I wouldn't have gotten home until after 3 AM regardless of traffic, and I didn't have the youth or drugs to keep me from being wrecked the next day, which I knew we were going to close. [Or did we? Read Day Three to find out.]

Gotta echo Gibson here Bicho. Prince is amazing live, and short of my house burning down I wouldn't have missed that. The Musicology shows a few years ago were absolutely incredible. great report otherwise though. -Glen

"With a long drive ahead and a full day still to come, I left before Prince took the stage." I'm trying to find an apt analogy (leaving an arena before Springsteen plays "Born To Run," perhaps; leaving a theatre before you realize the ending of The Sixth Sense), but nothing seems to fit. Are you not that much of a Prince fan or was the traffic that bad? (I heard Portishead was none too pleased with having their headlining status essentially bumped for the Purple One.) You didn't leave before Roger Waters' set on Night 3, did you?
