Notes:
1st set notes:
First of two sets by Portugal. The Man. I was ultra pumped to see them, I had listened to them religiously in Year 10 and the only way I got to see them was by travelling to buttfuck Tennessee. To be honest, they kinda dissappointed. The sound in the tent was bad, it had just began to monsoon so everyone was piled into the tent and honestly, when these guys released their first album, they were criticised as being a crappy Mars Volta knock-off, it seems like everyones forgotten this except the band who are trying their hardest to be a crappy Mars Volta knock-off. Jamming on the song that got me into you in the first place to prove you have soul without playing a note from the original song was heart breaking. Still, I left satisfied at least.
2nd set notes:
Portugal. The Man’s first ever acoustic set. I enjoyed this a lot more than the previous night. They were on a much much smaller stage and the atmosphere was just right, the first bit of sunshine we had gotten the festival when they came on. It of course being an acoustic set, the crowd is extremely loud compared to the music so this recording is peaksville when there is cheering. There’s a few new songs in this one as well.

This band quickly became one of my favorite bands. I suggest you get into some studio stuff before you hear a bootleg. Church Mouth is the the most hard-rocking album they have, blues-based done really well. Their music style decreases in heaviness and leans more towards the Indie scene as the years progressed, but live they always will be heavy and jam out the songs. I really like how they medley the songs on this recording, and how they go into Bellies Are Full. They make things interesting. If you haven't heard this band, I highly recommend them.
