Dibford and Son Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 using this thread to talk about my first festival experience at nearly 40 yrs old!! Found out about this one through Mumford and Sons who I think are and were superb and will be big. Became even more excited when I and my 11 yr old son saw that Okkervil River were playing our fave band by miles(cool 11 yr old!!). Anyway, loved the weekend, loved the music, the atmosphere, the people, the food and the hot cider with Brandy!! To get to the point tho, top 3 bands were:(surprisingly) 1. Okkervil River - fantastic show and could and should have done more 2. Mumford and Sons - great but short opening show on Friday. 3.The Leisure Society/Herman Dune/The Duke and the King/Vetiver/The Low Anthem/Shearwater( is that cheating??!!) Also despite the mixed reviews I thought that the Fleet Foxes were excellent. Great set, banter and performance. Just paid for next years!! Cheers.

Fat_Buddha Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 The Duke and the King (Big top) The Duke and the King (Tipi) Motel Motel. Low Anthem might have made 3 but I heard them in cafe dish while drinking lemon and ginger tea in an effort to revive myself rather than seeing them.

Swindlebiscuit Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 The Hold Steady - I don't care what anyone says, riffs, rock and Super Mario on keys makes me happy. The Low Anthem - Wonderful, basically. Leisure Society - Twee, but brill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dibford and Son Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 I gave FF a mention, for which I got told off for breaching forum etiquette and cheating in the pol!! I thought they were excellent, just the others were even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSimonW Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Taken a bit of thinking about this - the first 2 were easy to pick, clearly ahead of the field. Quite a few bands jockeying for third though... 1) Efterklang 2) Explosions in the Sky 3) Low Anthem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy55 Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 1) The Hold Steady 2) Okkervil River 3) Joe Gideon & The Shark Honorable mentions to The Low Anthem, Shearwater, Broken Family Band, Neko Case and Spokes.

Swindlebiscuit Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Now I know it's all a question of taste and that to post negatively about someone else's is poor form, but...from that weekend of just SO many mind-blowing performances, The Hold Steady were really your favourite?!!! :angry: Oh my...
