Whether you have been a long standing reader of TheRFW.com since our humble articles of Beck and Ray LaMontagne or caught on with the viral success of backstage interviews with Pepper and Benvento/Russo Duo, our goal here is to keep bringing you the unedited, reclined perspective of festivals and musicians.
This summer, we will be giving you the best access to your favorite artist by providing daily coverage of each festival we attend. Whether you’re viewing highlight performances of the day, pictures of the festival grounds and town folk or backstage lounging with your favorite artists, RFWtv will be your all-inclusive video channel to watch during this coming festival season.
Along with our daily updates from festivals via RFWtv or TheRFW.com, we will be continuing our post festival wrap up with articles and other media bonuses; moreover, with the coverage of Summer Camp this forthcoming Memorial Day weekend, we will be utilizing our 2008 Festival Baseball Trading Card. It is our way of ranking all of the festivals on a fair and level playing field.
TheRFW.com presents …
2008 FESTIVAL BASEBALL TRADING CARD
Ranked on a 5-point scale.
The Big Picture – Overall rating of the festival.
Town Square – Music festivals have a very organic way of creating a village, so whether it is Centeroo or Homebase, the festival land is what makes each experience different.
Performances – Need we say more?
Festival Shoppe – Mmmmm – I LOVED this food or WHOAH! Did you check out those didgeridoos? The marketplace of the music festival is a crucial element in creating the community atmosphere.
Green My Scene – From public water to waste management, how well did the music festival preserve the borrowed terrain?
Security – Watchdogs. Big Brother. Protectors of the people – Takers of the vibe.
Point A – Z – Logistically, from parking to people, how well did the traffic/progression of it all cohesively work together.
Stay tuned for our pre festival coverage of Summer Camp 2008, your Memorial Day weekend retreat for the best music and spirits during the holiday.
