Their music really is great, as I said before, but I am not a fan of the theatrical part of their show at all. I stayed seated for the Wiyos, and it lead to a MUCH more enjoyable experience. I made a beeline for the stairs, and regained my position on the way down, almost taking myself out in the process those stairs were slick! Got to the spot I wanted and was able to laugh about the whole thing (laugher soon stifled while sitting in the still air and direct afternoon sunlight ) He just sort of stared at me w/ a ‘tough shit’ look on his face and didn’t so much as pretend to see what the matter was w/ his gate, so I had to take matters into my own hands I dropped to my knees and crawled underneath the damn thing! When I scrambled up, I saw at least four pairs of legs pass me through the functioning door. “Mine wont go!” I shouted to the old man “attendant”, “I’m stuck!” I was at the front of one, and when they waved us in, WHAM! Mine locked up! Of course nothing this perfect can go off w/o at least one hitch, and it came right as doors were opening. It would be an interesting, if enthusiastic, crowd to say the least. Several news stations dropped by to shoot stories, and, after 2, some of the more colorful characters rolled in. It would have been a scorcher of a day had it not been for the shaded arbor we had the fortune of sitting under, and a pleasant breeze kept the humidity down. As most have already commented, the bulk of the early entry folks don’t show up til around 2pm, so most of the day was spend hanging out w/ friends (and the occasional TX Willie fan haha). The wait was easily the most enjoyable wait I’ve ever had. It was an INSANE show, better then most could ever hope for, so why did I leave sans huge grin, instead feeling slighted? Great setlist, not one wrong note struck, the surprise return of a fan-favorite guitarist, I had a great view, it was a great wait, I even met and chatted w/ Stu for a while the night before. It had all the markings of the “ show of the decade” hell, it was the show of the decade.
