Foo Fighters were great.  I hope they do make this into an annual shindig as Dave mentioned multiple times.  Hopefully the stadium can have some better ATM machines next year.  Otherwise, everything was pretty spiffy.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that.  Best turnaround (literally) I've seen at festival-type of event.

awesome to hear that they've figured this out.  the amount of time it takes to switch acts is ridiculous 99% of the time.  i get it that there are a lot of moving pieces, and you can't afford any mistakes, etc etc etc… but i see so many inefficiencies. 

put the gear on a rolling riser - set up in advance offstage, wheel on to stage when needed, plug in, then wheel away after the set, and tear down offstage while the next act starts their set on their equipment that was wheeled on from the opposite side. 

i wonder if the rain delay lit a fire under their asses and forced them to be efficient.

I think they had a revolving stage, like a lazy susan.  The next band would setup on the other side and they'd rotate the stage.  I could be wrong, kinda was half paying attention to that part.

that's a pretty good solution too, if you have the space.

So where are the Taylor Swift reviews?  I saw the gaggle of Pre-teens waiting to get on metro last night and figured one would be forthcoming…

She plays virtually no old songs. It's 1989 in its entirety with Love Song, We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, and I Knew You Were Trouble mixed in. NOTHING off the first or third LPs and only one off the 2nd (which is arguably her most popular).

For the record, I went to the Raleigh show last month, not the Nats Park show(s). I do surmise from my facebook feed that Lorde guest-appeared last night.

i always just manage to miss him and regret it.
spotted him in the lobby at the nick cave show at d.a.r. last summer and understand he sometimes works at som records.
i'm sure he would sign something.

Plays?  I didn't think she did anything other than sing songs written for her by professional song writers.  What instrument does she play?

He lived in DC for the past 6 or 7 years maybe?  A while.  But he just moved to Providence RI.  Super nice guy.
