VIP band?

[ronburgandy?]

any word on this yet?

if not, when do we find out?

also..when is this show? (time wise)..does this overlap with the thurs bands?

(apologies if there is a thread on this already)

[idio]

as i recall from last year, yes, there is an overlap.

but you wont know who the band is until the show. or at least, right before the show.

So who was the "VIP band" last year? When/where did they play?

[legend]

Wasn't Dr. Dog the VIP band? I got to VIP too late Thursday to partake in the party. I was pretty mad when I found out Dr. Dog played.

It was Dr. Dog last year, they are a pretty good band but we only stayed for a little while till we went to go see Clutch.

The problem as I saw it for the VIP band is they put them right outside the VIP tent and have these big flood lights on them (makes it a little too bright).

I think they would be better served to bring the band in VIP tent or one of the nearby tents for a better vibe, atmosphere, and lighting.

Does this band ONLY play VIP, or do they play two sets?

Two sets. At least last year.

Two years ago the band was Rebirth Brass Band. The year before it was Benevento/Russo.

The VIP band is the band that plays for the VIPs on Thursday night. The band also plays a set elsewhere during the festival that anyone can go to.

I had a dream that Ghostland Observatory was the VIP band this year.

That would be interesting

[ronburgandy?]

my hopes (realistic)

avetts
state radio

i assume that if a band is scheduled for thurs..that eliminates them as a possibility?

[idio]

depends on the time, i suppose. GO as the VIP band? oh man, that would rock.

but yeah - they should really not have that stage where it is. i might sound kinda fuddy duddy, but it was way to bright and way too loud. it was the only point where i was thinking "wow, i should have earplugs".

Hey all,

I was wondering if there was any news on who played for the VIPs on Thursday this year. I'm kinda curious.

[GOUGEaway]

Henry Butler and the Game band. Played 2 sets while I was there. AFter his second set he said he was coming back again...

I walked over to Lez Zeppellin though.

Great show to kick it off.
