For the release party for emmet swimming’s third (and last) album on Epic, they threw a festival in DC that they headlined. You got a free VIP pass if you bought the ticket at a local record store, so of course we did.

Review:

The early ending to the show on Saturday was a slight disappointment, but they certainly packed the bands in on Sunday to make up for it. I really enjoyed Radiohead (Michael Stipe joined them during their set) and Pearl Jam. We left at the end of Pearl Jam’s set, so didn’t see the Red Hot Chili Peppers pick up their instruments and play another three songs.

Review:

I was excited to introduce Melanie to Dave Matthews Band, but both days of the Tibetan Freedom Concert looked great, and we bought tickets to both days. Dave Matthews Band played second after we arrived, ending with “All Along The Watchtower” joined by Warren Haynes (lately of The Allman Brothers Band). We weren’t much into Herbie Hancock and the Headhunters, but didn’t have much time, as a storm blew in and at 3:45 p.m. the first lightning bolt hit and struck a George Washington student. That was it for Saturday.
