Wow:

I could not sleep last night. From the feeling that I was 17 again and wanting to be on top of the most pit @ the Gogol Bordello set, to listening to the powerful sounds of the trio Grand Ole Party, to watching the incredible Bitter:Sweet just a few feet away to listening and watching tons of flying toilet paper during the Black Lips set, this is all I will say. Wow. I love this city and am grateful to ALL the bands I was able to see yesterday at the Detour Festival in Downtown Los Angeles.

Black Lips:

Gogol Bordello:

The power of these bands sets made me want to rush to some “legal” file sharing site and get as much of their tunes as I possibly could. Every band brought energy and a set that deserved to be heard in their entirety. Problem was I felt like a kid again, when at Christmas, you get so many presents, you rip into one and move unto another. I wish I could have been at all four stages simultaneously and trust me I tried my best, but that was just impossible. I got as much VID as I could before my camera died and my arm went numb from holding it up for nearly 6 hours of “filming” for you guys.
