moe. celebrated their 20th anniversary this year. With the milestone came a change of venue for the band's annual end of the summer bash. Originally I thought, why fix what isn't broke? In the end this move really became a welcomed, fresh start to a career spanning two decades. Gelston Castle Estates was perfectly conducive to host moe.down in just about every way imaginable. Sure the trek to your campsite took about three hours and multiple trips carrying everything you'll need for the weekend (A wagon was essential this year).... and sure... we faced drastic weather changes almost every day. Besides these two minor formalities the new home was a dream.
For the third year straight I decided to capture every note played the entire weekend. This meant keeping two recorders running simultaneously at both stages from noon till 2 am. Luckily the distance between stages was reduced this year, which made for a little less running around. This post will be your one stop shop for every set played at moe.down. I'll keep the list below updated with links for everything as they're available, so check back often. A special thanks has to go to Jon Merin for generously donating some of his gear for the effort.
