Well it was downright annoying that Emmylou kept cutting off the soundcheck tunes this morning, but I suppose that's her prerogative, and that's certainly one way to whip through a setlist in a shortened timespan. Was it worth getting up early for the slog into the park? Well, uh, I guess it depends on your appetite the boundless buffet of music offered at this feast of a festival: if you want to gorge yourself, you gotta go big!
