2006 Siren Music Festival.

Siren Music Festival 1Siren Music Festival 2

On Saturday I went to the Siren Music Festival to watch Tapes ‘n Tapes and to eat a couple Hot Dogs. Getting to the Hot Dogs was much easier than seeing Tapes n’ Tapes. It rained during their set which meant a lot of umbrellas in the crowd. The rain made it hard to move through the crowd and ever harder to see from where we were. We did get to hear the set and afterwards the rain stopped so we moved up close enough to get a view of the stage for the next band, The Stills. They sounded ok, I don’t know if I would download their album but they did seem to have a Teddy Roosevelt in his Rough Rider outfit as a stage prop. You can see this in some of the photographs below. Anytime TR makes an appearance on stage it’s worth the price of admission.

Nine Inch Nails @ Jones Beach.

NIN Joan's Beach

Saturday night we headed out to Jones Beach for the Nine Inch Nails concert. This was the first time I’ve ever seen Nine Inch Nails but it was by far one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. It was definitely the hardest show. We missed both opening bans because we spent a good amount of time in the car opening Heineken bottles with a plastic lighter… no small feet

We were too far away to get any good photographs but the show was amazing. We also got to stand in front of crazy concert guy… better known as that guy.

New Jersey: Pearl Jam 2 of 2.

Two nights ago we saw Pearl Jam again in New Jeresy (this time we drove). This show was really good but couldn’t possibly compare to Thursday’s show (NY Post Review). I will say we had a better view and took better pictures. Our seats this time around were directly behind the stage, about 20 rows up. We made a point to get there early enough to see Eddie Vedder’s pre-set which included Springsteen’s No Surrender and The Band’s It Make’s No Difference.

Side note:
A little more than half way through the show the house lights came on and Eddie Vedder announces that they’re going to do a song for everyone behind the stage (our seats) so they can play guilt free the rest of the night. It was pretty cool. The whole band turned around, incudling drummer Matt Cameron and the played Last Kiss. A lot of the pictures are from this part in the show. We also got to see Stone Gossard sing Lukin.
