I thought the Polyphic Spree performed a late night snow because they're main stage set was cut short because of the wind storm?

Nope it was a planed show sponsored by Verizon. They announced it two weeks before the show. It was just a coincidence that they were blown off the stage earlier in the day.

Maybe Verizon should do a better job advertising. I was never aware of late night shows, as I'm sure many other patrons were not.

Speaking of late night, how come whenever one posts a comment, three hours are added to their post time? If we all live on the west coast, shouldn't the clock on this site be west coast time? I am probably way out of line, I guess you are all east coast folk.

We are most certainly not from the East. Or most of us are not at least.
And as I remember with the Verizon shows is that you had to have a Verizon contract or something to that effect and they would send you some secret shit via your email. Funny thing is that I'd bet that about a third of Sasquatch's crowd are from Canada if not more and the fact that Verizon is a strictly American company. Alienating a third of your paying customers with a bogus american only advertiser is kinda not the best business?

Actually they would show advertisements for said shows on the main stage screens and Verizon would advertise at their booth/car. I actually hated the promotion after awhile.

Originally this message board was made by someone who lives on the east coast. I think it would be appropriate to change the time. I will look into it.

Actually, it looks like this may have already been changed by another administrator.

Ok, I was wrong it was not fixed, but it should be now. I changed the time zone default to pacific. Sorry for all this off topic chatter.

Thanks Mr. Mod. Keep up the good work.

As for the topic of this thread, it would be cool if the late night show was a band people might want to stick around for. Ozomatli and Pollyphonic Spree, no thanks. Then again, it is probably not easy convincing a band to play two sets in one day six hours apart, especially if the crowd would be a fraction at the second show. I would think a lot of the bands would rather enjoy the festival with a couple beers after their show is done.

As for tickets to these late shows, do they turn you away if you don't have the special Verizon pass?

I think a good late night show or two, on two of the nights is the main thing Sasquatch is missing. I guess the problem is that not enough people camp onsite and would end up missing it, so they wouldn't think it to be justifiable. I know the night shows are always some of the most fun at Bonnaroo, but it would seemingly be nicer at S'quatch...(less neighbors to pay off, shorter return walk to the campground, lower temps/humidity in the morning to allow you to catch up on sleep, etc).

I thought that was the case as well. There were maybe 25 people there for the late show, it certainly wasn't advertised. I ended up on the same flight back to Dallas with the Spree(consequently touring the US with them in Chicago, Milwaukee, New Orleans).

I think there is a noise ordinance that keeps them from scheduling official late night shows.

I used to work for a radio sponsor of the gorge. I think at least in 2006 and prior, Grant County had a noise ordinance of 10pm and then a special agreement with the gorge for midnight on weekends and holidays. I remember everybody was really concerned after the hailpocalypse and Stupid Ben Harper telling the organizers he wouldn't play past a certain hour and the Lips agreed to play the last slot. Then Stupid Ben Harper got all selfish and played a retarded long set for all the frat bags and drunk soccer moms that were still left. After the Flaming Lips went on we were just waiting for the county to step in and say something or for one of the redneck locals to start shooting.

hahah man what an epic night that was. i still thought ben harper was pretty great. but there was some douchebag beside me screaming "burn one down! play burn one down!" for the entire set. and of course ben and the criminals waited till the last song of the 3rd (or 4th) encore to fulfill the guy's wish. but the Flaming Lips show was one of the best I've ever seen.

Wow, that Ben Harper show was the best concert I have ever seen!!! I was wearing my Ben Harper tee shirt, and I kept screaming "burn one down! Play burn one down!" He finally played it at the very end, probably because he heard me screaming it. I was hi 5ing all of my fraternity brothers when that happened! We did a couple greek chants after that, it was so AMAZING!!! I didn't stay for the next show though, because I had never heard of the band playing, and I had an appointment to get my hair frosted the next morning anyway.

I really hope he headlines! I think I will make a sign this year "Play burn one down!" and hold it up after every song. That would be a dream come true if Jack Johnson played right before Ben Harper, man o man, wow! And the Cold War Kids! And a Sublime reunion!!! Otherwise I will probably go to Coachella, that lineup is AMAZING!!! Killers!!!
