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...
Recorded by yours truly at first row almost dead center, not really close at the short dress of Miss Ego Sensation. Instruments sound lodd and heavy in the mix, but this had
probably the worst vocal mix on the whole festival. Damn! Anyway, warts and all...some pics, poster and setlist are included...

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...

WHITE HILLS...yes, I finally saw them. Most likely the band I was most eager to watch during the whole three daze of this festival. Though the sound was probably awful, the performance
and - of course for male uncorrectness - Miss Ego Sensation all made up for that. I don't have to tell you anything about these NYC heroes of Spacerock, you all know.
So, without any more silly talk, let's jump right into the show! SB.
