Hello,
She also did Zeplins "Rock and Roll" to close the show.
O A. R. did Simon and Garfunkel's "Feeling Goovy" song and Train did that
one slow Areosmith "Dream On" song and a Zep tune.
This was one hell of an unique concert experience for me. Lots of shit to
see besides the music acts. Olympic athelets doing ski jumps (yes you
read correctly) in the parking lot. The ski ramp was at least 80 ft in
the air.
There were also Stunt bike demonstrations and you get to Kiak and learn
how to scuba dive, too, in huge swimmin' pools set up in the parking lot.
Some of the instructors are famous outdoor athelets. Really cool. First
class all the way.
Big curved ramps like you see on TV are used in the bike demonstrations.
This stuff was worth the price of admission alone!
I saw a lot of strange things in DTE's parking lot over the past 3 years
but this tops it. Huge swimming pools where folks can get on full scuba
tights and gear to learn how to scuba dive. A white water rapids type
pool where you get in can be instructed how to Kiak. Activities that I
only get to see on TV!
If I did not have my recording gear on me I would have tried out the snow
ski tent where you put on a snow ski and and an instructor actually
teaches you how to ski on this big carpeted conveyor belt!
Cameras are allowed at the Jeep World Outside Festival. They are even
selling them at the consession booths.
Also, there is an autograph booth. You can get autographs from ALL the
bands in person. Meet your favs. However, Sheryl will not be there due
to ovious reasons. However, presigned Crow CDs are sold for $20 a pop. I
had no money so I did without. :(
Eight bands played all day on two stages. One stage was in the parking
lot (called the 2nd stage) and the first stage was in the actual venue.
Ziggy Marley was a no show.
For those interested, good seats run a little more than $40 each and the
festivle lasts from 3:00 until Sheryl leaves the stage at 11:30.
I got my ticket the day of the sale and was offered 2nd row. However,
that spot is typically directly in front of security and I would have been
overshot by the speakers. I asked for one further back and got row H, 8
rows from the stage in almost direct line of the speaker array. My
recording came out really good.
For $40 this festival is a steal.
Below are the remaining dates.
Why can't they have more stuff like this? The "Jeep World Outside
Festival" was FUN!
Have a nice day, :)

I'm really missing the connection that makes this worth posting to
rec.music.gdead, and the Who connection is similarly tenuous at best.
