ACL Day 3 - Sunday Sept 17
65,000 people again 90 degrees rain in the morning and at night
Today was probably the best music day of the festival. The line ups were outstanding and the bands lived up to their potential. It rained early on about 11 and then held off until about 40 minutes into the closer, Tom Pettys set.
Flaming lips take the award for best use of blood and tampons. Not wanting to be out done by Ben Kwelers nose bleed yesterday, the lead singer of Flaming Lips doused him self in fake blood and had the audience toss tampons on the stage. This all going on while surrounded by a group of girls in Alien outfits and on the other side a gaggle of Santas.
Matisyahu was all energy. He had the crowd hooked with his Torah preaching reggae. People behind me didnt know his name and kep calling him the reggae Jew. Funny shit.
Best show of the concert and the day goes to Damian Marley. Reggae at its best with a mix of hip hop and dance hall. He had the entire audience going strong.
Overall a great show this year. Hope to see y'all next year in Austin for year 6!
