So the Festival 8 map (for workers) has leaked.  Campgrounds will be named after albums: Genesis’s Lambs Lie Down On Broadway Jimi Hendrix’s Electric Ladyland Prince’s Purple Rain The Rolling Stone’s Exile On Main Street King Crimson’s Lark’s Tongue of Aspic Radiohead’s Kid A David Bowie’s Hunky Dorey While these may or may not be one of the albums the band plans on playing on Halloween, of more interest to me is what’s inside the concert grounds (right side between 5 and 6, click thru to see in detail).  View to the side of the stage - but in front - “Burble” and “Borealis.” It appears Phish is planning to bring a man-made Aurora Borealis as part of their musical costume. Check out Haque’s “Primal Source” lighting, which is what’s being rumored as the group who will be bringing Northern Lights to SoCal. All of this follow’s last week’s announcement of some other incredibly awesome stuff for next weekend: Right at the entrance to the concert field is an elevated area partially covered by spectacular Olympic Peak Tents that looks out onto the concert field CK5 will be lighting up over 140 palm trees as part of an incredible lighting rig that will surround the concert grounds There will be an air-conditioned tent with 100 ft big screens showing horror movies, Phish footage, World Series baseball, and NFL football There will be a bloody mary bar serving… well yes, blood marys The Sunday noon set will be serving up donuts concocted in the shape of an 8 for the entire crowd Sierra Nevada is brewing a specialty microbrew just for the festival named after the Phish song “Foam.”  In addition, there will be another 50 beers on tap The “Scent Of A Mule” horseshoe tournament will pit east coast vs. west coast There will be a farmer’s market on-site Saturday and Sunday serving up fresh fruits, vegetables, meats, etc… This is primed to be quite possibly the greatest single band music festival of all time, and certainly the best Halloween ever!
