Day 2

It is day 2 and it is much warmer and less breezy today. The sky is indicating a good rain is coming on soon. Last night we watched the Vampire Weekend set all the way through. Afterwards we cruised over to Lez Zeppelin, an incredible cover band, and they are all lesbians. We only stayed for a couple of songs but were there long enough to catch a powerful rendition of "in my time of dying" off the physical graffiti album. That is one of my favorite songs by Zeppelin, and it showcases both the raw power of John Bonham's drum skills, and sophisticated guitar work of Jimmy Page. They followed it up with "since I've been lovin you" off the Zeppelin II album, a very deep blues track that is difficult to pull off live. They did a good enough job on it, but clearly excelled covering the latter tracks from physical graffiti and presence. Got back to the tent around 1am and was too worn out to
go back to the cinema tent at 4am for Maltese Falcon. I get another shot at that film Saturday night. Took an ice cold shower this morning and strolled about. We met some nice folks named Luke & Kayla from Conecticut last night at super. Ironically we ran into them again when we made an ice run, and again at lunch. They were here for Allman Brothers too, but like me they have found enough to enjoy the scene. Becca and Ben are going to see a couple of shows while Philip and I check out the cinema tent again. We might go see Umphries McGee later. Tonight is Metallica, we heard them tuning up this morning and they sounded pretty good. More later...
