Most surprising performance: This is a tough one for me. There were a lot of great performances, but I expected them to be good: Grace Potter, the Roots, Rose Hill Drive, DMB. In the end it came down to OneRepublic or Ingrid Michelson, and in the end I have to say I was most surprised by OneRepublic, even though I was getting cooked under the Main Stage sun.
Lowest moment: being asked to tear off the labels from water bottles by Security upon entry. Security overall the whole festival was weak, and to use them to do some corporate sponsor bidding rather than focus on keeping undesirable stuff out of the park was beyond belief.
Most Magical Moment: Dave Matthews Band with a warm, summer night breeze.
