Agreed. Festivals are traditionally tiring, poorly-organized, uncomfortable, and
often badly equipped. It can be difficult to get around, let alone actually see
the performers well, and you never get to see every band, and usually only a
fraction of them. There are also usually medical emergencies, especially if it's
100 degrees outside with no shade (like one Lolla I attended, it was a total
mess, surprised no lawsuits came out of that waste of time).The mega-festivals
are the worst offenders. In theory, outdoor music shows can be great, and often
are, under the proper circumstances and with good organization. But paying a
huge amount of money to get sunstroke and dehydration and to have the right to
get ripped off for $10 bottles of water is best left to the sheep out there, who
are apparently suckers for any con that comes their way. They can be stupid all
they want, it won't add any cachet to their lives.--- In

> Yes, there are some who seem to think Boredoms should follow a genre or
something, which is pretty shortsighted. When I saw them on the Nirvana tour
ages ago, they were doing WOW2-type material (which I still don't like as much
as, say, Chocolate Synthesizer) and sloppy acrobatics, and did not hold onto the
audience interest, but on the Lolla tour, they rocked. Trumpet-playing drummer?
Brilliant.And they've changed so much since then.--- In theboredoms@

like a horrible ethno jig, and the much touted Lindstrom mix doesn't get good
until about two thirds of the way through when it goes all 70's disco
vocoder-funk, but the Boriginal version is excellent, as are the Altz remixes -
one of which has rocked the dancefloor both at fuckest uppest electronic / freak
/ kraut discos AND in Discos full of "cosmic" disco kids AND pretty straight
ahead people, yet the thing still retains an essential Primal B.O.R.E in a "just
keeps gettngi more and more exciting" fashion.
