Sleep -- Los Angeles, CA -- September 4th, 2010

I was there almost 12 hours. Sleep, 7 Seconds and Best Coast were my favorite bands. It was only 30 mins away on bus so eating a huge breakfast before leaving then downing a 32 ouncer of Gatorade before going in helped keep stops to a minimum.

I got to the show around 330 to find that all of LA was going to this show. There were too many people there. I'm guessing about 10,000 or more and only 10 or so places to get water, so the wait was at least 45 minutes. Saw Off! and 7 Seconds. They were awesome, then the 3 and a half hour wait for Sleep was unbearable. I saw a little bit of Man Man and was confused by their set, so I wandered over to see th Mountain Goats. I thought they were cool. I still don't know how I managed to get one of their drum sticks, but I did. Just saw something flying really fast towards my face, so I put my hand up to block and next thing I know, there was a drum stick in my hand haha. Sleep finally came on 10 minutes late and was fucking awesome! I wish they had a longer set so they could play all of Holy Mountain, but I'm glad I at least got to see them. Biggest downside was the fucking dirt flying everywhere. Did not think Sleep would get a pit started, but it happened and too much dirt went in the air, making it impossible to breath at times. I hope I get to see a full set someday.

For me, the biggest organizational complaint, was opening the gates just 6 minutes before the first band went on. I wanted to see Magic Kids but only caught the last 3 songs. My friend who was among the first 10-20 in line didn't even see the whole set. I heard it was a nightmare getting in for people who showed up later. The ticket line and will call lines were a mile long so I bought one on the street, and I only gave myself 10 minutes or else I would leave.

If anybody needs the exact setlist for 9/4, here is an untracked mp3, and please add the timings so I can make the track marks in the right places
