Rec. Info:
Sony ECM 717 -> ZoomH2n (@ WAV 16/44) -> MemoryCard -> HD -> Audacity (edit/remaster) -> WAV 16/44 -> TLH8 -> FLAC -> DIME -> YOUR EARS AND MIND...
Recorded by dear MIRO close to the stage edge almost dead center. Very fine recording, almost nothing to complain. The vocals are a bit low in the mix and a few hollers here and there.
Got the setlist, but it didn't fix too much...A few nice pics are added, too.

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...

Woah! Early birds might pick up the fattest worm...here's one of those tapes MIRO and BLUESHACKS did while your lazy loon was still refreshing on the campground facing a 30 minutes
of walk one way each day...Nah, I surely regret missing this band, as I really love that wahwah guitar sounds. The phatter the better...you bet what landscape they are from?
Of course, continental section north, Scandinavia. Well, as it seems like that everyone who can handle a guitar in Sweden (to be more detailed) is making up a new 70's heavyrock band
which are growing as high as shrooms of blues without taking pills this 40 minutes are definitely worth listening as they are really good in what they do. As they do it in style, so
burn one more down while enjoying...SB.
