Anybody else make it to greenbelt?
Highlights for me were the Over The Rhine, Vigilantes Of Love, Iona, Flow
and Split Level shows. There were some other good shows too.

Disappointments included
The Choir (really only Steve, Derri and some session musicians). They didn't
play much new material and despite it being a good show, it was not the
amazing one I'd hoped for.
Delirious? Far too much of a show for me, not like the spontaneous nature of
other d: live experiences.

Anybody else?
James.

What a sense of humour :-)

I was at Greenbelt. My highlight was seening All Star United again. They
were excellent. Can't wait to see them again in the spring.

Hi James,
I made it to Greenbelt, I saw you there!!!
I agree that Delirious was more show-like than before. Perhaps this
was because of the time constraints imposed on them. I still enjoyed
them though. Vigilantes were great especially when they played in the
big top.

Only Steve & Derri? What about Dan?

Anyway, most of the Choir shows I've been to have been good-but-not-amazing.
That seems to be pretty much the standard.

Yeah, so I hear, but they clashed with some bandstand stuff I wanted to see
so I missed their show. Maybe next year.

Well Stu G isn't bad on the old guitar but...Are you getting at Why?
Maybe there was once an overload of folk-rock a la Why? but they are the
only band really doing that thing right now and I like 'em. What other
band would have their friends running round mainstage pretending to be
a zebra and a lion?

Well...sometimes...perhaps I just needed some craziness by that point
in the weekend. Personally I like Why? and am glad that they are there
doing the folkie thing rather than a whole swarm of less professional
groups all sounding the same.
