Bellwether Festival

We don't do festivals so we never bought tickets but we may wake up and drive three and a half hours due south...Is anyone else going? Anyone? We just saw David Byrne this past Tuesday and all of a sudden we're all about the music. What can go wrong? :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

The whole thing was so foreign yet, absolutely worth it...First, the festival organizers learned a ton on this inaugural year. They set up the three headliners in two alternating stages...So Psychedelic Furs were on first on the Sunrise Stage and they gave everyone a fifteen minute break to run about too lengths of a football field to get to the Sunset stage for the Bunnymen and back again for The Flaming Lips....That was the plan and it would have been an enjoyable stretch of the legs had it not rained all day and night Friday and a couple of times before showtime on Saturday....It was a mud-fest! Mac came out and said something like... You expect better weather from a festival named Bellwether...They sounded great....They looked great the set was about an hour...The only disappointment was everyone was so stressed to get from stage to stage on time they didn't realize the Bunnymen planned to come back out for an encore...It was going to be Do It Clean or Ocean Rain...but it never happened because everyone was worried about their footing and slipping and falling and getting to the The Lips on time...We're still not festival people, but seeing them was thrilling. It made for a fun Saturday night...Actually, it's the most fun I've ever had in a cornfield. We had long conversation with Ronan from the crew...He mentioned they were about to announce the US/Canada tour...And, he said the new music album is coming out early 2019...right after the first of the year...I also heard he's doing an interview with Q Magazine so I look forward to that...The photographer who's taking his pics for the interview filled me in on that...They've got a lot going on all of a sudden.

What do the numbers that precede each title denote?

They have to do with the pedal settings or tab sequences...It was explained to me once and it made perfect sense. Wish I had better recall.

presets on the effects pedal would make sense. What about (old)? Or rather lack of 'old'. Maybe its his old pedal.

The "old" refers to the version? Like the new version of Seven Seas or the old one?
