won free tickets that we didn't get to use due to the rain last year. Should be fun times if the weather is good.

I didn't realize they had one last year?

I went two years ago to the one at Tenney Mountain. It absolutely poured all weekend, but the show still went on. We had a blast and the bands (State Radio, Tapes N' Tapes, Rustic Overtones, Adam Ezra, etc...) all rocked out.

I would certainly go again if I was wasn't scheduled to work that weekend!

I've definitely looked at it, but I'm still undecided....

Does anyone know of the band that are playing? Anything worth downloading to check out?

Mitch if you go to WEQX's web site alot of those bands are played on that radio station. Also you can listen to all the songs they have played for like the past week. Personaly i like the constelations give it a look. How did Sat night turn out?

Going for sure. The headlining bands this year are amazing. Gaslight Anthem is a rock 'n roll outfit from NYC with a little post-punk flair, while Dr. Dogg--from Philly (check out my review on Deadpointmag.com) is a great party band that vacillates from sounding like the Flaming Lips to 70s-era rock. You won't be disappointed.

The Gaslight Anthem is a very proud NJ band - definitely not gonna let NYC grab the credit for this one!

In my very humble opinion, I believe they are hands down the best rock band playing today. If you're into good old American rock and roll, you'll love this band.

As far as the NorEaster goes... not sure if I'm gonna head up. It has a pretty reliable history of getting absolutely soaked. My main attraction for going would be to see TGA (for the 5th time I think). The climbing is overcrowded, the event itself isn't cheap, etc. On the other hand, even with all the rain, the vibe is amazing, the people are amazing, and everyone has a great time, no question. My priorities are sufficiently different that I'm probably going to pass though.

NY, NJ...what the difference?? Just joshin' ya! Honestly, though, thanks for catching that blunder, Jon. Jon, you are correct, TGA is an amazing act. Didn't The Boss ask join them on stage for a few songs??

Yeah, he sure did. At the Glastonburyt Festival in the UK. He just kinda wandered out on the stage with a guitar. What a trip!
