Re: best show of summer

Hey everyone,

I would have said RAH too, but the thread was "best show of summer". Joe's RAH show was May 4th which is definitely not summer in Wisconsin. Heck, we've had snowstorms in May. We all know how special the RAH show was, maybe it should have its own category? cool

Roy

P.S. And you're right Trisy, I'm spoiled rotten however, I can live with that. wink

Re: best show of summer

Assuming summer stated in June or July (still waiting in Scotland), I'd say without a doubt Derek Trucks smile (so far!)

Tyler Bryant/BDS/Buddy Guy at Summerfest

3 great acts, one day, one stage. Can't beat it. $2.00 to get in.

When I was a child I spoke as a child, But all I heard was how I should get ahead,
Now growing up it ain't anything but all This indecision with these debts and doubts
And worries hanging over my head. When I was a child I spoke as a child,
I wish I could remember what I said.

Hey Paul,

There was another band too included for the $2.00. I thought Joel Pingitore and the Playground of Sound was an excellent band! Just a little clip I found on Youtube:

I watched their first 2 songs when they came out and wasn't impressed so went over to another stage and watched D.B. Bryant for a while. I got back for their last 2 songs and was blown away. Could not beleive it was the same band I had left earlier.
