Day 4- Ending Festivities


Yesterday, we spent most of the day walking back and forth to make sure we could see all of the bands we wanted to see. Today, the schedule worked out in our feet's favour. Our schedule was as follows:

¤ School of Rock. The real school of rock, and can those kids rock. They have excellent technique and they learned all of the famous poses and tricks that made rock... well, rock.

¤ Then we moved on to the main stage to see Sparta. They are very lively and make great music, naturally, being parts of The Mars Volta.

¤ Next, we were of to The Second City. They are an improv comedy group. Funny, witty, and everything that goes along with it. The Second City is well known for giving head starts for SNL and Who's Line Is It Anyway?

¤ That was enough walking already for us to want to take a nap, so we did. We went by the BMI stage, laid a blanket down, and took a nap, while listening to the end of Manchester Orchestra. Nancy and I walked to get something to eat, then we came back and napped some more while we listened to Chicago's local, Moses Mayfield.

¤ Our walking around was over for us, at this point. We set up camp at the main stage, so we wouldn't have to move for another five hours. The weather was as perfect as it could possibly get. It was warm with a cool breeze. We watched Matisyahu, the Jewish Rapper. Then listened to She Wants Revenge, followed by Queens of the Stone Age. While Broken Social Scene was playing we went to grab a bite to eat, and came back and secured our spot for the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

¤ The Red Hot Chili Peppers. Such an amazing show they put on! The field was completely packed with people, imagine three baseball fields packed solid with, I would guess, 30,000 people or more.

That was the end of the festival. Tomorrow, we leave for home. I will post again after I arrive. It will be my second to last post in my Lollapalooza series. See you all soon!
