So, Dave Frey says that they are going to a turntable stage this year.
I'm sure I've seen this, but I can't quite picture it.

This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.
What happens if I take both?

Yes turntables are not very common today, I understand your mental block.So, Dave Frey says that they are going to a turntable stage this year.
I'm sure I've seen this, but I can't quite picture it.
Interview here where he says it:
Imagine one stage set up on one side of a turntable and another on the other half of the turntable, without the arm holding the needle.
Now turn it on, I suggest the lowest speed, we don't want the band and equipment to go flying off the turntable. After it rotates 180 degrees stop, the other stage should be facing the audience.

Westbury NY has a rotating stage...I would imagine it works in the same fashion...just more equipment.

I still think that they should continuously rotate the stage, starting out slowly and gradually increasing the speed. Kind of like this...

So I liked the turntable setup. The whole stage and sound were great and the screens were considerable larger this year. When the stage turned and UM were already playing it was great! Same thing for CRB. They were setup and already playing as the stage turned. That is the way it was meant to be. And then after CRB just dead air as we waited for Phil (again) to take the stage. Just don't get it. Seemed like thirty minutes before he started his set. And the hour before Phish with no music? What the hell is that really? Why? Didn't mind the short set break but come on, lots of quiet time this year between sets.

They had to have time to set up the Justin Bieber lights, was how it was explained to me.

I didn't mind the breaks. But that's because my group doesn't "wait" for Phish, we "prepare."
Post by jimmywilson69 on Aug 30, 2016 11:53:10 GMT -5
Not sure why there was so much time though. It seemed like Phish did half of their load in and "tech" tuning in that hour. I figured that the LED screens on the "floor" of the stage would need setup, but everything else should've been good to go. It even appeared that they were dialing in lighting, etc.
I also agree that most bands didn't utilize the rotating stage to their advantage. I wasn't there this early, but I did hear that Turkauz and Vulfpeck did a spinning segue.

Totally agree. Would have loved more interlocking (yeah, I said it) sets.
Umphreys was (imho) the best example.

I think part of it was that they just wanted it to be dark before Phish started so that they could utilize the full effects of the lights for the entire show instead of just the end of the 1st set and the 2nd set like they have to at a normal outdoor show due to venue curfews. At Lockn they could go later than normal, so might as well start later than normal. But of course, that doesn't really explain why no other band played during that time, just why Phish started as late as they did, so I don't know.
I just know that I was thankful to use that time to hit the restroom, get a beer, and make sure that my whole group was together ready to go before they started. I also used the pre-show time to talk and get to know my neighbors a little bit before the music got going and was always glad I did.

I would agree with it not needing to be a whole hour necessarily. 30 minutes would have probably been enough.Aug 30, 2016 12:07:51 GMT -5 @stoutmonster said:I just know that I was thankful to use that time to hit the restroom, get a beer, and make sure that my whole group was together ready to go before they started.

it seemed like a lot of artists weren't ready to go when the stage turned. I was basically expecting every band to be on stage as the thing rotated. Most just walked out like it was a normal gig. If they continue to use a rotating stage in the future, and I think they should, they should have all bands ready to go. They can give the headliners 30 minutes to get everything setup if they wish.

I liked the idea of the turntable and the effect it had on broadening the listening field. I think the hour delay was a Phish thing as some have speculated here. I find that pretentious and I hope Lockn doesn't let that become the standard. part of the whole "thing" for Lockn was the none stop music.
