Pimlico Race Course
After yesterday's uncomfortableness with leaving the car at the Mondawmin station, we headed down to Inner Harbor and left our car at the parking lot next to Ram's Head Live. We then grabbed a quick lunch at Mondo Bondo at the Power Plant Live area and walked over to the Shot Tower stop. We caught the train to Rogers Avenue and then the shuttle bus to Pimlico.
Today we were swapping between the South stage and the North stage for the acts we wanted to see.
We arrived at the North Stage in time to catch Panic! At the Disco. They were good and they played their song "I Write Sins Not Tragedies", but otherwise G and I had not heard any of their songs.
We then headed over to the South Stage and caught the last of Bad Brains before sitting down and waiting for the Wu-Tang Clan. While we waited G went and got us both a slice of pizza.
When the Wu-Tang Clan came on we started to migrate to the left side of the stage before pushing our way forward as they rapped and every white person in the crowd would hold their hands up in a "W". By the time they were done we were right behind the rail. Once someone started to leave the rail, G put his hand on the rail while I push forward to grab it.
We then waited at the rail as they set up for the next show. And then there were a few women who felt compelled to flash their boobs and give the crowed a free show while we waited. Soon Slash walked onto the stage. And Velvet Revolver was playing. Wow. Scott Weiland was great, Slash and Duff played so great. They played a few songs from their first album, and a few from their new, Libertad, but they also played "Vasoline" from STP and "It's So Easy" from Guns 'n Roses. This along with The Police was my favorite show.
Once they were done we pushed our way out of the crowd, made a quick latrine stop, and we headed over to the North Stage were we caught The Smashing Pumpkins already in action. They were great. They played a lot of songs off their Zeigist album, but they also played some older ones like "1979", "Disarm", "Today", "Tonight, Tonight" and Georg's favorite "Bullet with Butterfly Wings".
It was then time to catch the shuttle bus back to the subway station. This went a little better tonight. Seemed to have more buses a lot less pushing and shoving. There were no incidents on the way home, but we did again stop at Taco Bell for our midnight snack.
