This week Steve and Sonny talk about the overall abundance of huge concert festivals available these days. They discuss some huge multi bill concerts they have attended and some they wish they had attended and in the end they both think they have become Bill Graham re-incarnated and have a hairbrain idea to create their fantasy dream festival and pay band’s way more than they are worth.
Steve’s Idea for the Past & Present Festival starts with these details:
- Located in a field on a huge lake down south during late October weather is sunny and in the high 60’s
- Podcast Tents where artists, podcasters / and fans mix and record
- Rock Vendors including memorabilia / t Shirts / Albums
- Music Education – You learn about Rock music past and current new bands with listening stations / videos – seminars about the records / bands etc.
- Music Instrument Education – Includes School of Rock and Rock N Roll Fantasy Camp
- Food Demonstrations and tasting
- Wine / Beer / Whiskey Tasting
