Ghost of Uncle Joe’s!

Friday night was awesome! My Chemical Romance put on an amazing show, Nine Inch Nails were incredible, Queens of the Stone Age rocked, all of the other performers were terrific. Hope you all enjoyed.

The NIN set was like, one of the best cover bands I’ve ever seen, and heard.

They really were, and such a good setlist. Hearing Dead Souls performed live in a cemetery is probably one of the greatest things I've ever experienced.

Was talking to my friend, for this event the set list choice can have a big influence on it. They did great with their choices & ordering them

They really were, sounded just like NIN at their prime. They didn't talk to the audience at all though - I guess they were channeling Trent Reznor's unfriendliness!

They were amazing. My wife who had never heard a NIN song said she wanted to listen to them now.

Pretty Hate Mechanics (NIN) were amazing. Does anyone know if those guys are in other bands?

If this is a hike for you, Bike JC is doing their free bike valet for today's event. Ride your bike there, they'll watch it for free. Don't need to bring a lock or anything.

The NIN cover band was phenomenal. One of the best cover bands I've seen to date. Overall a great show Friday night!

Amazing music, but I was surprised they didn’t talk to the crowd at all. I guess that’s Trent Reznor for you!

Dress up like Halloween?

Yes. I feel like it's fewer every year, but we still go all out.

Yes definitely. Not like an official costume thing but people have fun with it.

I went earlier. There was a dude who sang an AlanIs Morrisette song and he was 🔥. The rest I saw were ok. The drummers were all good though just vocalists mostly we’re not the best! But vibe was cool and probably better at night with the headliners! I would return

The Alanis & the Morrisettes did good passing it around, some of her songs are super hard vocally. The dude guitarist did kill it on his song though

Ya for sure. They aren’t all great acts but it’s the vibe. Headliners we’re all pretty solid—New Order was hands down the best, really closed it out hard last night.

Yes, there were people with kids there last night, they had a great time. Just be aware it’s really loud up front, and they have to be careful and respectful in the graveyard (lots of stones to trip on / damage)

Are dogs allowed? I have never been and it seemed more like an outdoor festival in the past but now it seems more like a show.

It’s the best event series in town, a charity fundraiser, Tony is swell.

Also for the record if you read this Pat Byrne Little Steven Van Zandt, the Lilyhammer to Lilith Fair joke ruled
