strat1117 Like most, I think Saturday was the peak, but I also agree with @phish23 that Sunday was not so terrible as it’s being made out to be. It DID rain, thunder and lightning all around the venue, so those of you who are saying it didn’t must have been in the one spot that didn’t get deluged in the early evening and beyond. They did the best they could with the logistics - let it go, no one is to blame for a difficult to predict weather pattern.

Thursday Friday and Saturday were great, greater and greatest - instead of feeling cheated and getting bummed, just think of Sunday as a nice comfortable victory lap. Granted, it wasn’t the ‘hottest’ set of the weekend, but Stash and Izabella, just to mention a couple, were hardly ‘throwaways’, and while I was also disappointed (at first) when they started Fuego as the encore, it turned out to be a pretty damn good Fuego. Anyway, after 3 days of double black diamond madness, I for one was glad to have a day of cruising the blues for a cool down on Sunday (I hope there’s at least one .netter out there who gets that metaphor). Nothing more than a coda to an otherwise near-perfect weekend, and nobody lost an eye - plus, the people who LOUDLY complained a couple weeks ago about no afternoon set got their wish.

Got home last night (Monday). Now it’s Tuesday afternoon and I’m still basking in the afterglow of a GREAT weekend. I am sorry if you weren’t happy about it, but 98% of the people I’ve spoken to (there and at home) were overjoyed.
