1st Vegoose will always have a special place in my heart. Best festival I have ever been too, and I have been to a lot. Bummer the 1st Vegoose couldnt be reproduced in subsequent years...

I know this thread is like a million years old, but just wanted to say Vegoose '05 was awesome and fun, but at the end of it, I was fucking totally exhausted! Between Vegoose itself, the latenite shows (which were really the highlight of the whole thing) and the final Panic show, I was just spread way too thin. On top of that, I only got to see Las Vegas itself for just a few hours. Being my first time in Vegas, I was ultimately disappointed with that fact. On top of all that, It was one of the most expensive trips I have taken. Things I didn't like at all: the fucking heat and the overpriced crappy beer and crappy food that were conveniently located in the middle of nowhere. As I drove out of Las Vegas, my only thought was, "That's the last time I do Vegoose"

I was at the first Vegoose, and I swore I would NEVER go back again. Getting out of there every night and finding a way to get back to the hotel was a nightmare. Any festival where you can't camp is going to go to shit if you don't have hotels very close by. The location just sucked. OH. And there was NO Shakedown WHATSOEVER. SUCKED! It won't be missed.

No surprise. Last year’s line-up sucked. Seriously, the Saturday atmosphere was depressing. So many angry hippies, it would have been funny if not for the crappy music. If they want a gay prog-rock festival, then do it, but don’t mix it with jam bands.
R.I.P. Vegoose

Superfly really does not care what anyone thinks. Thats really too bad. In the end everyone suffers for their greediness. To all of you that thought last year "rocked" take a look at the line ups of the other festivals being thrown by Superfly. They all have similar line ups to the first Vegoose. They got generic as hell in 07. If I wanted to go to a show like that I would have gone to Coachella which still would have been 100 times better. Nothing personal to the "other side" but this was our hippie festival. That was taken away from us and replaced with "your" line up. That is a slap in the face to the people that promoted this festival through word of mouth. I like what someone above wrote "When Phish played the Great Went 100,000 hippies made it. They didn't have the money but because the draw of the gig they made it." I don't think it is the economy or other festivals. It's just not worth a hippie dollar and it was ours.

I attended '05 and '06. As soon as Panic didn't headline, the attendance blows! They brought in these trendy new age music that doesn't have the numbers that the jam scene does. Panic, moe., Phill and Dave have a huge following. They lay out of the festival should have been redesigned too. If you build it they will come...

I attended the festival in 2005 because the line up was awesome...Flaming Lips, Beck, Ryan Admas (who I was actually the most excited to see, but he cancelled!). We had a GREAT time! Although, I would have to agree, the line up got progeressively worse in 2006 and then 2007, so I had no intrest in going. Personally, I am not into the jam bands, but they sure do attract the hippies!

I have to agree with most of what's been posted. I attended the 05 and 06 shows and was blown away by the line ups. I arrived each day at gate open and left after the last note was played. I came back from the 06 show and immediately put the 07 date on my calendar and stayed on with the email alerts. As soon as tix went on sale I purchased the VIP package,booked my plane tix and hotel room. The original 07 lineup was not as strong as the past and I was optimistic that they would keep adding stronger artisits to the line up. Boy was I screwed. I was so pissed that I put my tix on stubhub to recoup some of the cost only to be skunked! I cancelled my room and luckily received some credit for the flight.I was curious about this year and came across this site only to find I was not the only one upset about the linup but the low attendance. It's a very simple formula: GET THE TALENT AND THE PEOPLE WILL FOLLOW.

I went to 05, 06 and didn't want to believe my eyes when the line-up had changed so much. I agree with the jam bands needing to be there for the draw. I also agree with having different genres, ie. hip hop, pop etc, but spread it out. Use the main stadium, allow camping. The venue has ample amounts of parking. With the cost of tix, add in camping. It was a great idea having a festival in Vegas for Halloween, but I think the corporate BS got a hold of it and squeezed all it could out of the fans and bands. 2005 was the shit.

I'm reading last years lineup and wishing I hadn't missed it. It is insanely awesome....what the hell are people on here smoking when they say last year's sucked? I didn't see the lineups of previous years, so maybe 07 sucked IN COMPARISON, but just looking at the list of acts on the 07 lineup and it blows me away.

Iggy and the Stooges performing their 1970 classic album Fun House....are you serious? does anyone realize how fucking awesome and historic this is?????

Daft Punk, MIA, the Shins, Battles, Ghostland Observatory, Rage....i can't remember the others at the moment, but these are enough... I'm sad to have missed an amazing group of artists.

No kidding, well that's what happens when you hire a bunch of shitty bands that nobody wants to see. I went in 2006 and it was incredible.....the Phil/Trey/Medeski late night show was one of the best ever....too many good acts to name. Last year, however, I couldn't find two bands I wanted to see on their whole lineup. Too bad I would have loved to go back if there was something quality happening.
