Title: Farm Aid Set Times
Post by: blu666z on September 14, 2004, 02:25:08 PM

Can somebody give me an idea on set times?  Specifically Willie, Neil, and Dave.  Only three I care about taping.

The sets are generally slotted for 45 mins.

Damn, can't find any info whatsoever on set times...not lengths, but when people go on.   Would be useful to know how late to show up or how early we can take off ;p

Should also tape Marc Broussard if you got extra tape/battery time on ya ;)

I've got shitty seats but oh well...beats the lawn for sure if it is gonna be a rainy affair.

In past years, the lesser-known "openers" play from about noon to 5pm.  Then, once the tv broadcast starts, the bigger name bands come out.  Once you go through all of the big-name "openers," then Dave plays, followed by John, Neil, and Willie in that order.  Hope that helps...

Good to know... I assumed the lesser knowns would be playing during set changes of the big boys.

Kevin,

Where you are going to be? I will be in Sec 208. The reason I ask is because I am thinking about not taping and wanted to see if you are closer than I am. Right now I am very sick and it would suck it I was stealthing while sneezing (that would be an odd tape :P). Anyway, let me know.

Jarod

P.S. Thanks for the DVDs :D.

I've got shitty seats I think but free to trade any of you guys if they think they'd work out better for taping.   (Sec 203, Row 14).

Hmm, haven't decided whether or not I am going to park in their mess of a parking lot or do the shuttle thing.  I kinda want to do the shuttle but not sure how that works coming back if I want to take off early if they'll have return trips running or not.

Cool :). If I am still sick tomorrow, I will not tape.

Bastard! ;p

Hmm, looks like they released some more tickets but the only way I am gonna lay out 95 per ticket is if it is in one of those blue sections, maybe even only 1,2.   Plus I'd have a hard time selling the old ones anyways.

It didn't for me.  Piss poor rainy day.  Didn't feel like keeping the gear dry all day since I knew I was going to be in and out from the covered section all day.

Yeah I didn't tape either. I was in a some what bad spot so it probably wouldn't have turned out that well. I believe someone taped Dave's set via the webcast.
