Great post!

I also have to thank imeem for the earplugs, being entrenched in the wave of people as I was. And I can’t agree enough with your last paragraph…

Best,
Keane

Hey, I was in VIP! You gotta admit the parking privileges are pretty nice too. I personally think that Treasure Island is one of the better festivals around. It’s almost like an anti-festival – it’s small, the location is beautiful, the line up well curated and there’s never a schedule conflict or compromise on what band to see!

I agree with your assessment. Fleet Foxes, Dr. Dog – and The Kills for me – were definite standouts. The fact that the harmonies and resonance of the Fleet Foxes could translate so well in a festival venue was impressive. And yes, The Raconteurs have received enough press, but deservedly so. They ROCKED!
