Stay away from the Acura and Gentilly stages. The best music is at the small stages. Shorter lines for restrooms, drinks and food.

I had to leave early anyway for an engagement party so I told my gf, let's just make our way around the track and catch some of Pearl Jam, by the time we pass by the stage it'll be time to leave. We weren't even within sight of the stage when we hit an absolute wall. I'm usually very aggressive getting through crowds and finding a path, but this was the fricking Hoover Dam on the track. People were pushing at us from behind like a giant wave, we had to turn and push our way out. Not remotely enjoyable and dangerous like you said.

Which brings me to my next point, Pearl Jam's newer music is terrible. They really shot their wad with Ten.

They must be really good since you're bickering on tigerdroppings instead of listening to them

If it was that packed for Pearl Jam, tomorrow for RHCP will be nuts. Wonderful

A couple of years ago I found myself in the middle of hundreds. I became over heated and felt like I was going to faint. Not drunk at all but probably dehydrated. I colappsed in a chair of a complete stranger. I apparently asked her to get up. I can rememBer not wanting to face plant in the mud. Haven't been back.
