Review:
When a concert has its own Wikipedia page, you know it was a big one. It was a tribute for the victims of 9/11 and you know I wanted to be there, thankfully it was only a Metro ride away. Aerosmith went on early as they flew to Indianapolis for a show that night. The show was later broadcast on ABC, puzzling including full performances from some artists while skipping others. Surprisingly not much footage has escaped over the years, only a James Brown song and some audio (which may be audience). As some of the reviews mention, it was a show made for TV with many long breaks between sets (no revolving stage like some festivals). By the time Train finished I’d been there 8 hours, and it was another hour before Mariah Carey performed (plus they were out of food and drinks). I really wanted to see Michael Jackson, but I was dead on my feet and headed home after she finished.

Review:
The second and thankfully last of DMB at RFK. Loved the band, hated the crowd.

Dave Matthews Band with Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals at Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium, Washington, DC, USA
Review:
Dave Matthews Band decamped from Nissan Pavilion for two terrible years at RFK. The ushers wouldn’t control the crowd when a lot of them were where they shouldn’t be. It was a nice show, especially when Ben Harper guested during the main set/

Review:
A great day for a great cause with great artists, but the thing I’ll never forget is George Michael performing with Garth Brooks. And the only time I saw either of them (or Chaka Khan). Melissa Etheridge did the odd thing of playing two different sets during the show.

Review:
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.
