August 1, Herzburg, Germany
Museum garden, to rock club.. and tonight we're at a big outdoor festival - playing at the main stage of what been a very popular event in Germany since 1968!
This kind of festival you don't get a soundcheck, just a half hour turnover when the band before you finishes.
So I had a few hours to wander around and take pictures (as I remember doing at one of the Woodstock Festivals back in 1994.) This time, happily no rain no mud!
I think you'll get the flavor of the event pretty well from these shots.
Patti Smith and her band were onstage before us. Great fun seeing that from the audience
and, of course, from backstage
When our turn came... here's that quick setup
Morgan's with us again, doing a great job substituting for Tobias
It was quite an experience, as you can see.
I hope to play the festival again one day - it's the real deal.
After midnight when we came offstage, another band was setting up to play their show, but we had a half hour drive to our hotel, and 6am lobby call to travel tomorrow,
so we called it a day. More soon.
