My Lollapalooza 2006
Clark Benson My first "weekend festival" Grant Park Lollapalooza (I attended most of the touring festival ones in the 90s) - a very solid show and one that has kept me coming back to Lolla. Great weather and the perfect location in Chicago, my hometown. Met some cool people and had a great weekend. Ranked by how much I enjoyed the set.
- 1
Alternative rock, Rock music, Folk rock More“ Packed hometown crowd and great set - the only negatives being that it was only an hour long, and they didn't play Spiders.

Alternative rock, Hard rock, Jazz fusion More“ RHCP are not one of my live faves, but this was the best set I have seen them do out of the 7 or so times I have seen them. Great closer to the weekend, was shocked at how much fun I had dancing to a band that I am sometimes bored seeing.

Alternative rock, Rock music, Alternative country More“ A great classic-packed Ween set, probably the most consistently good I have ever seen them.

The Secret Machines (After Festival Show Offsite)
“ 75min blinder of a set by a band in their prime that never got the attention they deserved. This was the original lineup. I think the show was at the Hideout or Hideaway. „ - 5
Hard rock, Heavy metal, Blues-rock More“ Wolfmother killed it in the afternoon sun. Missed the first few songs, loved every minute of the rest.

Alternative rock, Rock music, Punk rock More“ Was one of the final S-K shows and one of the better times I've seen them. I miss this band, bet they reunite before long.

- 8 Indie rock“ Slightly below average set by one of my favorite bands. I believe there were some sound problems.
http://setlist.fm/setlist/built-to-spill/2006/lollapalooza-chicago-il-bd6b536.html „ - 9 Alternative rock, Post-punk, Punk rock More“ Below-average SY set, poor song choice for a big fest like Lolla.
http://setlist.fm/setlist/sonic-youth/2006/lollapalooza-chicago-il-3d6b537.html „ - 10 Post-rock, Experimental rock, Indie rock More“ Only caught the last few songs, which were quite good.
http://setlist.fm/setlist/broken-social-scene/2006/lollapalooza-chicago-il-73d65a6d.html „ - 11 Alternative rock, Progressive rock, Indie rock More“ only saw a few songs at the festival itself, since they were playing at the same time as someone else, and since I was going to see a full set at an offsite venue that night. „
- 12 Rock music, Heavy metal, Alternative country More“ OK set by RA standards (which are very hit and miss) - I think there were 2 or 3 Dead covers in the hour he played.
http://setlist.fm/setlist/ryan-adams/2006/lollapalooza-chicago-il-bd6b542.html „ - 13 Alternative rock, Electronic music, Soul music More“ Great opening as they all came out in tennis outfits. Downhill from there, but I am no fan of live hip-hop, or hip-hop at all for that matter (though I really like both Gnarls albums). Bailed about 20mins after I got bored.
