Message: [QUOTE="Dove, post: 5038905, member: 571"] This a very unique festival. Wilco's Solid Sound Festival. So, my wife and I are not Wilco fans. Didn't know a single song by them. Musically, they are great, tho. After years of hitting a big blues festival each summer, with the Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival thrown in, my wife found this event and we bought tix. Stayed in Bennington, VT. A super easy 30 minute ride. Mass MoCa is set within an old manufacturing complex. A very crazy setting for a music venue. You enter through the gift shop and then a number of stages are set in various quads of the building complex. The biggest field is where the main stage faces east. Vendors are spread out. Lots of food options. Treehouse was the only beer on site. $14 for Haze, Julius and the Solid Sound Pale Ale. $9 for lower abv offerings that were non IPAs. Wilco performed two nights. The first night was Deep Cuts night. Songs from long ago dug up. Great stuff. Just before their set was Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit. LOVED these guys. Another band, Horsegirl, played on a smaller stage. Very cool. On Saturday, Wilco played all of "A Ghost is Born" and other songs. They brought the wall of sound this night. My wife didn't like it. Before Wilco, I loved seeing Nick Lowe and Los Straightjackets. They played "Cruel to be Kind", "Peace, Love and Understanding" and "I Knew The Bride...". Awesome set. On Sunday, it was Jeff Tweedy and Friend's playing. Set started 40 minutes late as the entire facility was evacuated due to a bad stormfront rolling in from NY. A great set was played. The crowd was great. The food was great. The venue was great. We'll be back one day. Off site, nearby, was The freight Yard Pub. Great food here where we had two lunches before heading to the Fest. In Bennington, good food at The 421 Craft Kitchen and Bar. great tap list, too. A brewery across the street, Madison Brewery, was good too. A quick trip into NY saw us have an amazing lunch at Brown' Brewing in North Hoosick. The actual Battle of Bennington was fought here. Not in Vermont. [/QUOTE]
