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

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!!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

"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!
