Rock Hashanah: The Virgin Mobile Festival
Tonight is the start of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. There's only one way to celebrate. It's time to rock.
Music maniacs from across North America will be converging upon Baltimore's Pimlico Racecourse tomorrow for the Virgin Mobile Festival, one of the biggest concert events of the year. The 10-hour festival features more than two dozen bands on three stages, including The Who, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Gnarls Barkley, the Flaming Lips and Wolfmother. And I've managed to score a press pass. I haven't been this excited about a concert since the first Lolapalooza.
My plan is to drag around as much equipment as humanly possible, including my laptop, two digital cameras and a minidisc recorder. I honestly don't know how much I'll be able to capture successfully since I also just want to enjoy the show, but I'm definitely going to do my best and record some good stuff. In the small chance that there's Internet access in the press tent, I'll try to liveblog some of it; otherwise stay tuned on Sunday and next week.
Shana tovah, everyone. -andy
