Rec. Info:
OKM2R -> ZoomH2n (@ WAV 16/44) -> MemoryCard -> HD -> Audacity (edit/remaster) -> WAV 16/44 -> TLH8 -> FLAC -> DIME -> YOUR EARS AND MIND...so far away in outer space...
Rcorded by dear BLUESHACKS close to the stage edge almost dead center. Fine recording, but a bit marred from the "light" rain (not to be compared to what came down on saturday eve)
so this sounds a bit uneven. I'm sorry, no pics from this show...and no setlist...

FREAK VALLEY FESTIVAL 2016:

Admission fee: 69 Euros in advance
Attendence: 2500 people from all over the world. Sold out since November 2015
Catering: A variety of food booths, breakfast tent on the campground (which was 3 kms UP away), prices slightly above last year. A slice of Pizza at 2.50, other food more expensive.
Some beer booths, a cocktail bar and - to my personal surprise - a small winery slot with "Met" (which I only discovered the last evening, so no chance to get full advantage of it).
Security: Very low, very mellow. Almost no controls at the gate, if you didn't try to roll a barrel of alcolhol into it...
Loos: Acceptable quality both on the festival and on the campground. This is something that makes a difference, if you're staying for three nights...
Weather conditions: Exceptional fine on thursday, some rain during the night, fine again on friday as well as the saturday until 19:45 (probably) when a massive rainfall (no, it was
buckets of rain washing over you) for 90+ minutes went down. Nice for the plants to be removed from those wild bushes pissers, but defintely not fine for tapers...
Crowd behavior: That's kind of serious thing to me. The later the day, the more rule and ruthless and agressive against others a few drunken assholes (please stay at the campground,
if you're already filled up) were. A real strange thing also happened to me and the Lord...never experienced that on during TOUNDRA...

Personal thanks...
To the crew at Freak Valley Festival...again another fine job done. Thank you.
To the reliable taping crew, friends Reinhard and Dietmar at the campground for the nice pavillion (who had gone for good, but survived 4 Burg Herzberg Festivals) and company.
Always been a pleasure and will be...forever...

Another great show (which I was lucky to experience from a dry place beyond those rare trees) from Freak Valley Festival 2016. Gi�bia, who originated their name from a northern italian
(catholic?) ritual of ancient days when straw figures were built and burned for the sake of the relief of witch power...As we all know...that did not work...and sorry my dear italian
friends...unfortunately it neither did erase the other evil thing. Switching a few hundred years in time, GI�BIA was formed in Milano finally to fill in the void that was left from those
people who cared but did not believe...enjoy some real fine spacerock music...wicked or not. SB.
