Les Claypool is my new favorite act

Supposedly, the Olson twins, Mary-Kate and Ashley are here. I’m not surprised. Everybody else seems to be. Even though it is not a sell-out (no official count is being shared yet), it is absolutely packed.

A huge crowd attended Les Claypool’s awesome set, but I wandered over to see the Raconteurs on the gigantic What Stage and it was as crowded as last year’s Police show.

Willie Nelson is on stage now and having a good time and he sounds great. His sons joined him on a blues number.

Metallica is due up shortly and it’s hard to fathom where they’ll put everybody.

The weather has cooled considerably, so the place has a renewed energy.

Claypool is my new favorite act. The pig face mask was a nice tough, but the techno-funk-cartoon sound was infectious.
