"but I can’t really blame a band for not playing their maiden hit from 26 years ago."
OOOPS! More like 15-16 years ago.
I thought last nights show rocked more than Fri night. Both were incredible!

Great show terrible venue. Such a shame to see such an environmentally concencerned band play at a festival that trashed a state park. Long walks to bathrooms. I waited literally one hour to get a beer and was sheltered like cattle in one spot drinking, not permitted to leave the drinking area. Liberal crowd with such a conservative venue. Too many rules. They even had a 5 drink limit!!!! Never again will I participate in such a terrible venue.

the show was awesome and the lighting was absolutely amazing. The venue was great, the bathrooms were a bit of a walk but there was a large number of them reducing wait times. Im personally glad about how they handled the beer, the 5 beer limit and difficulty in getting it kept me from being drunk at the show. This also helped with the trash. The park personnel also did a great job cleaning up between days my only complaint is that I would have liked to be able to sit during the show for a few minutes.

So much for my after-hours math skills!
And yeah, I'd agree with Michael J that though Radiohead put on a good show, LSP wasn't the optimal venue.

I doubt this festival will live to see another year. I loved APW....it reminded me of Vegoose. The location was amazing...not even Coachella can compete with the scenery.
The downsides were $4 water (although there was a refill station that seemed to emerge half way through the festival) $9 beer (????) and ppl sneaking in (not really a bad thing). Alot of ppl were pissed about the mass amounts of ppl sneaking in (Coachella priced ticket for 1/3 the acts, while whole groups of ppl were getting in free...seriously today I was in a group of 6..no one paid).
I personally sold my Sunday ticket for $50...and was then invited into the park by a security worker because I was wearing a wristband from a club in Chicago that kinda sorta looked like the beer band (I probably shouldn't have said that). Then I was given a wristband that said Jack Johson on it that would have apparently gotten me backstage had I received it 15 min earlier by a girl inside.
All and all, it was a blast. I thought Sat's show tied the Bonnaroo show. If APW is back for round #2, I'm there.

oh and I totally forgot to mention the 5 beer rule....which you could easily send a non drinker in and get a band...pop it off...and get 5 more beers....which is what I did for a friend.

VIP TICKETS...WHAT A BIG JOKE AND WASTE OF MONEY
my daughter who was really there for Jack Johnson last night (sunday- her ultimate favorite) One of the first ones into the park w/my husband and stood from 2 til 11pm. Although she loved it and had a great view...we paid for vip tickets that were a total waste of money. the bleachers were set up pretty far away from the stage, really made no sense at all..I just could not believe what they charged for NOTHING!!!

I was at the Saturday Night show. OMG!!! It was a truly magical experience. As perfect a a newborn baby's breath. I'm ruined for life. NOTHING will ever come close and I've not listened to any music for 2 days since. Completely afraid of erasing any memory. Radiohead was the most amazing live music "Event" I have ever had the Privilege of witnessing. The only thing that might have made the night any better was if they came home with use for a 3rd encore!!!! Unbelievable

Upon further review I have decided that Coachella does indead have better scenerey. Sorry I was still drunk from the APW after party in Jersey when I posted that.
