Outside Lands 2014 -- Day 3 -- A Review

Outside Lands 2014 is a wrap -- and, another amazing festival EXPERIENCE in every sense of the word.  This one was different for me -- my entire family joined.  That made it even more special -- music discovery to an even higher degree.  My Day 1 review is here -- and my Day 2 review is here.

How about Day 3?  Went back to the amazing Day 1 sunshine -- which meant that warmth permeated the day.  Conditions were ripe for new music.  So, while proven powerful artists like Killers and Tiesto anchored the day, the true impact came from the new.

That meant the Twin Peaks stage -- where we spent much of the day.  First, with Eminem-flow-like rapper Watsky -- who amazed.  And, then the follow-up 1-2 punch of Flume - perhaps THE artist the kids wanted to see.  While Flume played in the early afternoon, the Twin Peaks area buzzed (and overflowed -- this picture proves the point) like a headlining show -- which it could have been.  Was a great set.  Flume delivered on all the Coachella hype.  He crushed it.

But, back to Watsky.  HE was the star of the weekend for me.  Had never heard of him before.  Listened to his music before the weekend.  Liked it.  Now I truly appreciate his skills.  And he is skilled.  Very.  And original.  He is no wannabee.  Check him out.
