#KuhNives' Friday set in the VIP tent featured a new tune, "Spirited Away."
The band isn't on the Live Music Archive, but they do post recordings of their shows on Bandcamp. Stream for free or download at the link below.

#UmphreysMcGee closed out Saturday with a mammoth 4+ hour show which included many friends sitting in.
Check out Der Bluten Kat which sandwiches a first time played "Four" as homage to moe.. #UM #umph @archive.org

Here is my audio recording of Orebolo's set which included a mix of originals and covers. I learned what 'MAMU' means as this was the first time played for John Phillips'--and the Dead's--Me and My Uncle.

1999's Summer Session at Three Sisters Park was the "proof of concept" for what would become #SummerCamp in 1999. #KellerWilliams was there in 1999, playing a 20 min 'tweener. Here is the link to his much longer set on the exact same site almost 25 years later. @archive.org

#Mihali's set in the VIP tent was a spiritual journey that the attentive crowd really appreciated. There was a lotta love swirling through the air--check out Wise Man. @archive.org

Saxophones--melody or rhythm? #MoonHooch says both! The trio (two sax and drums) delivered a dynamic set that had the VIP tent jumping. Check out Mountain Song. @archive.org

Because of severe weather, #TheWerks's set in the VIP tent started 5 minutes late.
Since they had a limited soundcheck, they turned down the vocal mics and ripped through "Into the Moss" for 51 minutes--an improvisational tour de force! @archive.org
(1/7) I had a great time at the #SolshineReverie24 at Three Sisters Park. I audio recorded some fine memories.
Here is #StringCheeseIncident's Thursday night pre-party show. It was their first time back since Summer Sessions in 1999. #SCI @archive.org
Purple and pink lights above the stage. the band is no visible. There is a dream-cather held up in the center front of the stage.

That’s all folks! Tomorrow I’ll start posting links to my audio recordings of many of the bands.

At a show, be sure to take the time to look all around you. Interesting things may be happening. Here, #UmphreysMcgee’s lighting person is painting a picture on the trees surrounding the Moonshine Stage. #um #umph

If the festival won’t come to your living room, you can always bring your living room to the festival.

Since I wasn't at the #SolshineReverie24 festival yesterday, here are some photos from the previous three days starting with ethereal entities and fungi faeries of the Solshine campsite. The Illumination and Kenny’s stages were here.

After the first line of severe weather swept through the area, I headed out to Three Sisters Park ahead of the next wave.
Me and my equipment are safely—and dryly—set up under the tent of the VIP Lounge.
