The HFStival returned for the first time in the same year for a Fall edition. This seemed like a more aggressive and harder edged one, reminiscent of Woodstock ’99.

This was part of a tour called “Guardian Angel”, called an “Evening With Neil Gaiman”. It benefited the CBLDF and I paid for the VIP which meant a preshow reception with Neil, which was fun, and then a reading so long it had an intermission.
The first time Farm Aid happened in the DC area, and a great lineup. A very long day though, and we skipped Willie Nelson. The recording is a whole thing rather than the usual artist by artist because of the short sets. It’s mostly from my recording of CMT that day, but someone had the whole Dave Matthews Band set. Also, three songs appeared on Farm Aid: Volume One: Live.

I thought Spacehog was an odd choice for an opener, but ok. R.E.M. was great as usual.

An actual review from after the show: “My first Moodies show, and not my last. The band was in fine form and the Prince William Symphony Orchestra was excellent. Justin didn’t seem bored to me, especially during I’m Just A Singer. I enjoyed the new songs, Haunted in particular. I’ve waited a long time to see I Know You’re Out There Somewhere and Your Wildest Dreams, and I wasn’t disappointed. A great show. ”
