![]() This was my first time seeing Yo La Tengo and it was nice to hear a mixture of old and new. Luckily DD tucked his camera away in the bag because all I had was my piece of shit phone for pictures and so I have him to thank for the remainder of the photographs (with the exception of one noted). ![]() The three of us hurried over to catch the beginning of Yo La Tengo’s set. I was pouring sweat before I got my wristband. Saturday evening’s lineup was stacked and we were lucky to get to Mass MoCA right at 4pm after parking and taking a shuttle from a satellite lot. The Solid Sound Festival, but for some vendors and the Comedy Cabaret, was all outdoors in two courtyards and a sprawling grassland called Joe’s Field. ![]() I had been to a handful of shows before at Mass MoCA but they all took place inside at the Hunter Center. On Saturday afternoon my girlfriend, an old friend, DD, and I packed a bag with sandwiches, water and a blanket and headed for North Adams, MA. On Friday we missed White Denim, The Relatives and a reportedly awesome all-request cover show by Wilco where they covered acts as diverse as Television and Daft Punk, complete with a super moon. Due to my pathetic budget (which has hamstrung numerous concert plans) and lack of personal time at work I decided, regrettably, to forego the weekend pass for Saturday only passes for myself and my girlfriend. The Solid Sound Festival was a weekend-long event with concerts beginning on Friday June 21st. I bought tickets for Wilco’s Solid Sound Festival this year on April 19th, exactly ten minutes after my paycheck cleared. ![]()
