I've been at the Arrow Rock Festival. There was a very good line-up. I've really enjoyed it. The best performances in my opinion where Roger Waters, Journey, Whitesnake and Riverside. Porcupine Tree, Deep Purple and Pavlov's Dog were good too. The show of Roger Waters was really magnificent!!! It was a 3 hours during show with special sound efeects and and a big videoscreen. It was beautiful.
Lets hear what your opinion is about the Arrow Rock Festival.

I was there as well, and had a very good time! Personally I enjoyed Riverside and PT most - which might have had to do with the fact of these bands being relatively unknown to the majority of the 30,000 crowd, so there was plenty of opportunity to get real close to the stage!
At the time Roger Waters came on stage I had ended up with a few nice fellows having a drink (or two
 ). I didn't see very much of it but what I heard was very good indeed. Oh, and for those who didn't know yet: one Ted Nugent is a total nutcase!  -------------

Oh, my, god. What an incredible experience... The entire weekend was just freakin' awesome. We arrived Thursday-evening, and paid a short visit to the pre-party, which featured Wishbone Ash and a couple of other bands. Not really our cup of tea, so we decided to head back to the tent and enjoy a cold beer. Or two. The next day we visited the market, and enjoyed some music while enjoying the incredible weather. Ted Nugent, Uriah Heep... Still not the bands which we came for, but nice nonetheless. Our first real concert was Whitesnake. It seemed they couldn't really get the crowd going, but they had a nice set-list, which included many classics, and featured 'Adje' v/d Berg on guitar on 'Here I go again'. Later on in the evening Status Quo blew us away. What an awesome band. Of course we all know their classics, but what a performance! Something I really have to get in to! When Deep Purple started at 22:30, we were about 30 metres from the stage. And what a show. Great, but short solo's, they played every classic, and the crowd was really digging the stuff they did for as far as I could see it. Too bad Ian Gillan wasn't at his best. I haven't heard any DP live-recordings from the last couple of years, but if this is his best shape, I really suggest he retires. There almost wasn't a single high note he hit.... But what a way to start the weekend, and the best was yet to come. Tomorrow I will post a short review of the 2nd day, I'm gonna sleep now, listening to the Roger Waters bootleg of the Arrow Rock Festival  ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/manmadegod/?chartstyle=ScarlettJohansson1">

Hello everybody,
RollingStone.com recommended a bootleg of this show in their Downloads section. Could somebody possibly share a link to a recording of the gig?
