Vegoose @ Sam Boyd Stadium

What I remember (in 2024)

Was given ticket by fellow Concierge, after finding a large amount of commissions not being paid.

Went on my own straight from work at Lake Las Vegas.  Was going to meet with Mike, but I don't have a phone, and we never passed each other.

Tonnes of people dressed up, as it was 4 days before Halloween.  All bands I saw today, I'd never seen before.

Gogol Bordello were a super fun way to kick off the day.  

Mastodon were dressed spookily for Halloween, and put a great show on.  

Public Enemy & Cypress Hill were the only 2 rap acts of the day, and they put them on at the same time.  Public Enemy won out, and I don't regret my choice.  911 Is A Joke was the best.

I did go and check out the Shins, but wasn't really into it, and left after a song or 2.

Queens out on an excellent, rocking show.

The Stooges was definitely what I was there to see.  Holy Shit, they were awesome!  Iggy expelled more energy on stage for an hour, than I have my entire life.  He invited the crowd onto the stage for one of the final songs.  These guys are 30 years past their prime, I can't begin to imagine how good they would have been then, because tonight they were awesome.

Daft Punk were great, especially for me.  Not what I'd generally listen to, but the duo did a great job getting an exhausted crowd dancing.

I ended up with a migraine and have no idea how I drove home.  Wish I had gone the following day as well.
