This is all I have for now. I can't get the website to load. This one was on Lame Base; I mean JamBase.

Pollstar calls it Washington Park

[OswegoMatt]

They are still listed for Washington Park on 6/7 also. I wonder if both are going to happen? I can't imagine having the same act at two different festivals at the same place. I wouldn't complain.

EQX is sponsoring the Main Stage again this year. An official announcement is coming on the 10th (info. on weqx.com).

Will they headline? Any guesses who else will be there?

Meant to mention this as well, for what it's worth. I bumped into Kane (nice to put another face to a name!) last night at the end of the show and he grabbed Spence as he was walking by, who acknowledged they'd be back for tulip fest and lobster fest.

They'll be followed by Spin Doctors at 4:30.

To the top! Anyone else going should consider parking, there will be a LOT of people out in the city and you'll likely need some time to find a spot.

[Rachel]

Gonna try to make this one.

Here's a full clip of Oxygen, uploaded while I was out to dinner :-P

Only vid I took, forgot to change to a full battery so I was conserving.. and video eats through it quickly.

Youtube hacked what small picture quality it had out, I might change the format and throw it on mediafire or something if anyone is interested. A little shaky in part due to beach balls and grainy from zoom, there was a barrier that set the crowd back a bit to begin with.

[Rachel]

The sound's good. Unfortunately youtube always shreds video. I've tried a bunch of different formats and it ends up looking almost exactly the same. :\

I'll get around to uploading video from this show eventually. Once I get over the horrifying debacle that was The Spindoctors. :shudder:

I was over in front of Jon, looks like we missed each other again. Not hard to do in that crowd.

[Jeff]

Yeah, I was going to post something like what shirt I would wear but with so many people out decided it would be pointless! I saw someone who looked like Kane and asked if it was him (by his real name) and he was like uh, no.

I thought the Spin Doctors were decent, just ooold.. heh. The bass being played looked like it was from guitar hero with the pink and green buttons.

WEQX myspace has a tulip fest album

That is funny. I didn't even go to this show. I was hoping someone would post up a setlist to see what I had missed.

[Jeff]

I didn't catch a set list or even really think to mentally note one, but I will at least attempt a list of songs I remember they played. Order is probably wayy off.

C'mon
Crash Landing
Gas on Skin
Love Underground
Combustible

Also 40 pictures I took in a gallery:

I should be able to piece together a set list when I get around to going through the videos.. though it was pretty much their standard fare as of late. I would have gotten one off the stage like I usually do but the barrier was set about 12 feet back.

One thing that hasn't been mentioned - they did have a violinist with them. To augment Jeff's list, I remember they also played Iron Boots and LATE.
