Cheers:
1. Glenn Harveston.
2. All the bands from the Pre-Party to the end. I thought that each and every one delivered their best possible performance, regardless of how big a fan I was/am of their material.
3. Stair tapers. Never had a problem with the stairs personally, but the effort is still appreciated.
4. Proposals, Hawiian shirt clad stage diving, and "Stars." No doubt I wasn't the only one who was 80% sure that the last surprise would be the Hear 'N' Aid cover, but it was really cool to see and hear anyway.
5. Orchestral accompaniment. I would have liked to have seen more of the set done that way.
6. The sound. Way better than last year. Perfect on Thursday. Some brief but quickly corrected dampened lead vocal mics on Friday, and one ear splitting screech on Saturday. Otherwise it was excellent. Kudos to all the sound guys!
7. All the crew who worked so hard all week, and who may still be working hard to pack everything up as I get ready to hit the sack.
8. Glenn Harveston.
Jeers:
1. The drum platform spotlights. They have been addressed and responded to. Please don't use this thread to launch into an anti-spotlight tirade.
2. The lack of official band tour T-shirts. Nothing Glenn had to do with obviously, but a little dissapointing.
Great fest! Oh, and just out of curiosity... where the Hell would one find a Balls Of Steel plaque anyway?
