FYI these turrents download as flac. files. You would need to convert them to mp3 or audio or whatever you need to.

i love the tapers. i just have no idea how they have the time/money to do it.

i still have a 6 disc changer in my trailblazer, so i usually burn the flacs to cds for my vehicle then convert the flacs to 256-320 kbps mp3s to put on my phones/tablets

Nice Video and thanks! Were you able to grab anything else? I thought I remembered you helped me out with some footage back in 2012 as I pieced together both nights but my memory is a little foggy!

Just out of curiosity...where did you find this data on the almanac? I'd love to see more of the list.

[hailtopitt]

i knew it was a long show when they went off for the encore and it was already 11:00

[Keyz]

ah ha! this is the other show longer.

so star lake is 6th

[terra79]

Such a great time in Pittsburgh! My second time at this venue and I'd definitely go back.

Tailgating with old and new friends, the drenched walk in (and hiding under the pine trees to TRY to stay dry), fantastic people in our section (2), awesome set/energy from the band all made for a great way to end "my" summer tour.

Brunch the next day at Kaya in the Strip District was so good too

[dh4645]

this show beat my previous longest show/best of the 30 shows we've been to... aka live trax 22

Left Bennett Acres Campground around 3pm, was parked in the Premier lot by 4pm. Got out pretty damn quick too, for Starlake.

I loved the show, except for the whole security complaint with one minor difference. I was kicked out of the show. During in the Accoustic/Electric break, I was sliding in the mud on the lawn. No warning, they just took my name and walked me out. So, I changed into dry clothes at the car, bought another ticket, and went back in. I didn't slide anymore, but I don't think anyone was after they threw people out. On the other side of the coin with security, I initially walked in with a camelback-like crotch bladder full of 70oz of whiskey sour mix. They didn't feel my crotch. Although, I swear they did last year and didn't say anything about it.

All in all, great night.

I've always said: Nothing like a whiskey sour straight out of a dude's crotch bladder

I've been coming to Starlake since '06 and have never truly had an issue. Over the past two years, security has become tighter, but I've still never had any issues. I parked in the the grass lot on the left with no issues, but my friends did have issues and were directed to park back in J so we had to setup tailgate there. I told the guy doing the pat down coming into the venue that I had keys and sunglasses in my pocket and my hands were filled with my ticket and a water, and he didn't even pat me down and let me go right through. The line getting in was atrocious, but I know that was because everyone was coming in after the rain and this was the first time everyone wanted to see the opener. The lawn did have a lot of talkers this year and a lot of passed out individuals, so I decided that I will go back to having seats under the pavilion. Overall though, it was a great setlist with many surprises. Hearing Bela play more than one song was a true gift as well. Hopefully, everyone's experience next year is better and we can get back a N2 show.

I know, right? The bladder has a nozzle; and one day I'm gonna pull that nozzle from my fly and let that whiskey go straight into someone's mouth. Until that day, I'll do what I've always done and just use it to sneak some drink in and then transfer it to a water bottle.

I went in during the rain, and could have gotten away with taking anything in with me. I barely opened my bag and said it was b/c I didn't want my phone to get wet (which really was why). She didn't even look in it. They didn't do pat downs - everybody's clothes were drenched ~anything concealed was probably obvious.

[cpxc.]

i was told to take everything out of my pockets and to turn my front pockets inside out.

58 shows that was the first time i was ever patted down like that ever.

[driley0917]

They wouldn't let me bring my bookbag in....I'm still mad about it...funny part is they didn't even check anything else I had on me...but then Christmas Song was played and my anger was washed away

Got this same treatment too. Wife had no trouble bringing her bag in though, just got it looked through pretty thoroughly

[bbqguy1962]

Given that shit flows downhill, if there were problems at the show the night before and lots of negative press about the country shows, it shouldn't be a big surprise that things were a little tighter Saturday.

The night before was Journey/Steve Miller Band.

Having seen Journey the previous 3-4 years there, the crowds aren't that bad, nor is it very full. I skipped it this year to give DMB my full attention.

Security was weird. They didn't pat me down at all, and the ticket people just pushed us through. Didn't even look for or scan mine, and they were very concerned about beach balls once in the lawn.

I parked on the left hand up near Rt 18, there was an accident on 18 shortly after we got to the car because emergency vehicles screamed out of the venue and turned right, so we fired up the grill. Not 5 minutes in, 2 groups of venue employees gave us a hard time about the grill. The cars weren't moving, and we didn't even pull out of the lot until 12:45.

I'm going to chalk it up to a new crew and an anomaly.

Yeah, some of the employees were on a power trip.
We waited in a near-by lot until 2:45ish and timed it that we were the 1st car making a left into the venue. Actually, we were about the 5th car initially, but the 4 in front of us listened to the employees (that had formed a line across the lot) that waved them on. We just stayed. There were like 4 cops right in front and beside that didn't care in the least. We weren't blocking traffic, so the cops didn't care at all. The employees were dramatically waving at us to keep going, until they finally gave up.

Listening to this tape and Digging a Ditch to the end of the electric set was so good, especially DDTW > Typical

[sash7]

Wow Starlake people, it's been a LONG time since my last posting. Good to see the usual suspects are still here.

[jrkarger]

Nice sig!!! And, he totally was!!!

Hey friends. I am curious if there are any rumors about starlake 2015?

I haven't heard anything yet. Blossom seems to be July 8 (Wednesday) so if the trend of putting them close continues, perhaps July 9/10/11th?
