Saturday was the Randall's Island getaway with DMB headlining. My former co-worker, Jenn and I took the ferry over from E. 34th. We got there around noon and were glad to get there early! Randall's was decked out as a festival with two stages. We were on the dusty/dirty side of the island and after a while it showed on all of us. Most of the tixs sold were for lawn seats which turned out to be sit on the hard ground. Luckily I'd brought a blanket and we got as comfortable as possible. There were about five bands performing throughout the day. The big three were Jem, BNL, and DMB. BNL went on around 6ish I believe and no one really paid attention 'til they played the three songs they're known for. I was in the growing pre-DMB bathroom line so I got back in time to mindlessly sing along to "If I Had a Million Dollars." After that we had to wait about an hour until the sunset for Dave to come on stage. He opened with #41 ( I just checked the setlist to make sure). My favorite was prob.Lousiana Bayou from their new studio album "Stand Up." Lots of pot came out at "Jimi Thing" of course. The group we sat with were really cool, around the age of my cousins. We were blanket protective but after a while some barely legals kept trying to jump the fence to get up closer so we had to keep pointing them to the exit to our left.
Here's the rest of the list as well as a shot from the show, courtesey of the band's official site:
