The official set times have been released to help you plot out your day and make the tough calls like if you’re on Team Nas or Team Kelis as the divorcees go head to head on opposing stages. Oooooooooooh!

You’ll also notice the inclusion of a fresh face on the lineup, with Stones Throw soul-stirrer Aloe Blacc drafted in to replace the defecting Janelle Monae.

It's still probably not that many compared to the total number of people that will attend the festival (across the country).

I'm talking about the average punter.

belladilemma said on the 6th Feb, 2011

this would be my eighth year attending good vibes & feel i'm being more than fair.
it seems like each year, more & more things aren't done right.
i've spoken to many people that are upset, have seen plenty of posts on forums, facebook & twitter so it's safe to say that more people are annoyed
than unfazed by this.

The average punter is a lot younger than us, mentally (Albert has a superiority complex, lol), but they know who is on the lineup now. I think the big issue is releasing a timetable a week out from your first show is generally bad practice: you've given the "average" punter enough time to familiarize themselves with the lineup that in their experience was meant to be secondary, only to destroy that goodwill without enough time for them to realise they should just plan their day around it.

Laneway and Soundwave had the same problem (of several clashes) but by releasing their timetables a slight bit earlier, punters could stop whining and actually look on the bright side of things.

daveyac8881

daveyac8881 said on the 6th Feb, 2011

Soundwave also changed their timetables after a large number complaints about certain clashes (Slash/Slayer). Jam are just cunce. They did the same thing a few years ago with Fatboy Slim, Q-Tip, Deadmau5 and the other headliner all on at the same time

MorningAfterboy

MorningAfterboy said on the 6th Feb, 2011

That's a lot easier, though - go see a has-been, a button-pusher or motherfucking Q-Tip. Hmm, decisions, decisions...

The Great Monkey War

The Great Monkey War said on the 6th Feb, 2011

Yea if you didn't opt for Q-Tip, maybe just end it.

ThatDude123

ThatDude123 said on the 7th Feb, 2011

from this morning's Grammy Awards' performance announcement:

"Cee-lo Green will be joined by Gwyneth Paltrow and the Jim Henson Company Puppets for an inspired, never-before-seen performance."

Apologies but that sounds about 20 times cooler than anything Jam Music could produce.

Braveheart81

Braveheart81 said on the 7th Feb, 2011

Yeah, but only because of The Muppets.

MorningAfterboy

MorningAfterboy said on the 7th Feb, 2011

Gwyneth Paltrow is on my Dead To Me list on account of what she did to Fuck You.

ThatDude123

ThatDude123 said on the 7th Feb, 2011

The chance of seeing Kermit the Frog mouthing FUCK YOU may well be the greatest thing the Grammys has ever given us.

Aside from their heavy-handed messages, this is top on my reasons I no longer watch Glee. Their Heads Will Roll/Thirller mashup is pretty funky, though.

MorningAfterboy

MorningAfterboy said on the 7th Feb, 2011

I haven't seen that yet, really keen to. They did a surprisingly good job of Dog Days Are Over, so perhaps more forays into indie are required?

Braveheart81

Braveheart81 said on the 7th Feb, 2011

Has anyone ever seen Cee-Lo Green and Fozzie Bear in the same room? I don't think so.

Probably. Vampire Weekend and the Flaming Lips (I think I already mentioned on another thread) have approved their songs for use.

As for Thriller/HWR, the song get ruined by the entire male cast getting autotuned to *nSync levels, but if you imagine it as the original two songs instead of the Glee kids, it's actually really sweet.

Wocka wocka, who wants to hear a funny-ass joke?

Jose Cuervo

Jose Cuervo said on the 7th Feb, 2011

It was funny how empty Tip was as well. It was in the roots tent and it was like a 1/3 full, if that. Was fucking spectacular

The Great Monkey War

The Great Monkey War said on the 7th Feb, 2011

That is quite odd. If Fatboy Slim and Deadmau5 were the other two acts on, you'd think that at least the hip hop heads would all be at Tip. Funny, in hindsight, considering how famously bad Norman's set was.

daveyac8881

daveyac8881 said on the 7th Feb, 2011

I would have seen Fatboy Slim, even if he sucked, it's Fatboy Slim. Could always trail over to Deadmau5 if it was that bad, that was back when Deadmau5 was unquestionably awesome

MorningAfterboy

MorningAfterboy said on the 7th Feb, 2011

You do know who Q-Tip is, right?

daveyac8881

daveyac8881 said on the 7th Feb, 2011

Yeah of course, but, Fatboy Slim. Also unless its like, Ludacris, Jay-Z or Kanye West I wouldn't particularly want to end a festival with a rapper anyway

MorningAfterboy

MorningAfterboy said on the 7th Feb, 2011

So you'd ditch one of the best MCs of all time for an alcoholic who hasn't done anything of note since the late nineties.
I see how it is.

daveyac8881

daveyac8881 said on the 7th Feb, 2011

Pretty much. The fact that he's an alcoholic doesn't really make a difference to me, alcoholics can still put on a great show, and I don't think it necessarily matters when they did anything so long as they did. When was the last time Leonard Cohen or Simon & Garfunkel did anything of note? Doesn't make them any less worth seeing. Not that I'm comparing Fatboy Slim's musical greatness to theirs, obviously

MorningAfterboy

MorningAfterboy said on the 8th Feb, 2011

That's the thing, though, dude is terrible "live," as reported by pretty much anyone who went.

daveyac8881

daveyac8881 said on the 8th Feb, 2011

Only at the one show, anyone can have an off day, and one of my mates who was there said thought he was awesome. If he played his big songs I think I'd still end up having a good time, and if not at least I could have seen him before leaving for Deadmau5

MorningAfterboy

MorningAfterboy said on the 8th Feb, 2011

Filed you under people category "No Saving Them" and have moved on to bigger and brighter things.

Braveheart81

Braveheart81 said on the 8th Feb, 2011

That Fatboy Slim show was terrible because he was completely off his head.

His previous tour which was early 2000s from memory was meant to have been incredible (several friends went at UNSW Roundhouse). He's always been renowned as an incredible DJ to watch.

Jose Cuervo

Jose Cuervo said on the 8th Feb, 2011

Previous tour was like 05 with shore thing. And i've heard his live show is normally incredible too. After that good vibes tour though he went and booked himself into rehab.

Coolest set ive heard him do is in the back of a truck, at glasto, he gets driven around the site and dj's for a few hours and just has people followign him around for a few hours.

spintheblackcircle

spintheblackcircle said on the 8th Feb, 2011

Fatboy was an absolute disgrace in Melbourne. He was amazing back in 1999 when he played BDO but every show in Melbourne since has been complete and utter rubbish.

I criticised them as I walked past the stage and then got a dust lump thrown at me by some bro. I was in the first aid tent for a hour having saline solution pumped into my eye.

This year was the first BDO I wasn't abused by a bogan at. Surprising considering how much I loudly paid out some of the Aussie bands.

They were awful at the Gold Coast BDO. Even a good performance* of terrible songs is likely to suck.

*Not saying they put on a good performance. They didn't**.

**Had to brave hearing a couple of songs while trying to navigate through the swollen crowd to one of the other stages.

Yeah.. you should probably never complain about crowds at music festivals. If you spend your time intentionally trying to rile people up, you probably deserve what you get.

Nah it's for all cities I think, well you can get them for Melbourne.

There is something very fishy about this offer - tix are discounted for all cities on this website - "spreets.com"

yet they are still selling at full price through Moshtix???

Braveheart81

Braveheart81 said on the 11th Feb, 2011

This is completely legitimate.

A friend of a friend founded the Spreets website. It's a group buying site like Cudo or one of the many others (albeit more successful in some ways). He sold to Yahoo7 a few weeks ago for a reported $40m.

benr3

benr3 said on the 11th Feb, 2011

aaahhhh. So its just Jam Music trying to minimise backlash - they can sell discount tix through a different outlet in the hopes that not too many of the full price ticket holders find out about it.

I give it a couple more hours before this is posted all over the GV facebook page followed by many angry rants!

Braveheart81

Braveheart81 said on the 11th Feb, 2011

It's a way for GVF to offload extra tickets that they're unlikely to sell the day before the event. They'll be getting $67.50 a ticket they wouldn't otherwise be getting.

It's hardly much different to offering 2 for 1 tickets for events that aren't selling well which has become very common practice.

Lorraine

Lorraine said on the 11th Feb, 2011

i don't think you can be angry about it - the organisers are offering something extra by giving half price tickets the day before, they're not actually taking anything away from anyone who purchased a ticket.

benr3

benr3 said on the 11th Feb, 2011

Oh don't get me wrong, Im annoyed that I paid more for my tix but I know this is common practice - I work for a ticketing company, promoters ask us to do this stuff all the time.

One thing I have learned from the job though is that the general public will be angry, people are already really upset about the timetables and cancellations - for a lot of people this will be the "final nail in the coffin".

Braveheart81

Braveheart81 said on the 11th Feb, 2011

Yeah, but then Good Vibes will pull someone like Faithless again next year and the angry people will still go back. Surely what keeps Good Vibes in business is the fact that they keep producing some pretty incredible lineups (at least a few acts each year) and don't offer sideshows.

The general public get angry over many things they really have no right or reason to be overly angry about. Boat people spring to mind.

You have to see Erykah Badu, sadly you'll have to choose between Ludacris, Phoenix or Faithless (or just catch a bit of all three).

Jose Cuervo

Jose Cuervo said on the 13th Feb, 2011

Yeah I caught him. Thought he was one of the better acts yesterday. Band was tight too. Was with the fool for it and he described him at a youn James brown with the way he was going around on the stage.

daveyac8881

daveyac8881 said on the 13th Feb, 2011

I saw Aloe Blacc, tbh I had no Idea who he was other than from what was said on this forum and he was incredible perfect start to the day, (not counting Tim & Jean as a start to the day, the part of their set I was forced to endure was fucking rubbish).
I thought it was an alright day though, getting in was much easier than last year, took about 5 minutes to get in, last year it took nearly an hour.
When I got in at 1.30 there were about 50 people there. Walked right up to my friends at the front of the main stage with ease.
The crowd was very different to the normal festival crowd, a lot of older people, I think the majority would have been in their 30s, with a solid few in their 50s. Especially around Aloe Blacc. Lots of hippies too.
After Aloe saw Kill the Noise? I think, he was ok, fun at the time but not incredibly memorable obviously. Fake Blood was dissapointing. He was still pretty good but he was the highlight of Field Day last year and yesterday he was just good.
Left to see Friendly Fires who were fucking garbage. White Diamonds was a highlight, otherwise, crap.
Trekked back to the Laundry stage for Rusko, and while I'm rarely a dubstep fan, he was fucking sick. The most energy I've ever seen from a DJ, and the music he was playing really just makes me reconsider my dubstep hate.
Between 6-6.45 there seemed to be absolutely nothing on. Checked out Bag Raiders, they were shit. So sick of Australian indie-dance-pop after yesterday, IT ALL SOUNDS THE SAME. Went to check out Erykah Badu and it was some shit hip hop Dj playing instead. Went to main stage to see the Ting Tings (the pool of talent was that bad) and they weren't on either. So went back to Laundry for in between DJ, who made me feel sleepy.
Sasha started off ok/good. Not amazing.
Kelis. The only way to describe is: AAAAAH SO GOOOOD. Highlight of the day.
Went back to end of Sasha and it sounded awesome, closed on the Chem's Escape Velocity.
Then headed to Faithless who I thought were pretty disappointing. The sound on the main stage was terrible, and the whole billion piece band seemed out of time with eachother and really just sloppy, like there was too much going on and it wasn't well coordinated. The big basslines and epic trance parts of their songs rarely came together. Also a man sung Dido's parts. Left during Mass Destruction to check out Luda, WHO WASN'T EVEN FUCKING ON!
So headed back for half of Tweak Your Nipple and Insomnia. After which came a slew of chilled out sleepy numbers, that were lost on a festival crowd. Maxi Jazz seemed to need a rest every second song as well, I guess he's getting pretty old. It showed. Their show felt like watching someone's parents trying to seem cool to all the kids. By the time We Come 1 came around for the encore I was over it and saw Luda in time for Move Bitch (Get Out The Way) (AWESOME!!). Within 30 seconds of "they kept us offstage for 20 mins so we gon' keep goin" the sound was cut, closely followed by the power, which made the roots tent feel like a riot was about to start. Roid rage for all. Lovely sour note to finish the note on, but of course couldn't expect less from Jam, overall though it was a pretty alright day, but I still won't be spending $150 on a ticket next year, if the lineup is awesome I'll buy my ticket off ebay.

The Great Monkey War

The Great Monkey War said on the 13th Feb, 2011

Nas & Damian was pretty fun. I wanted to see more Nas solo material stuff though. I don't know what was going on, I ducked out of Nas & Damian Marley just as they finished and headed over to Faithless, and Faithless were already on. Apparently I missed the first 3 songs or so. I could have sworn there was no overlap on the timetable, I thought there was even a fair gap in between Nas and Faithless.

Bleh.

Me. :D

I won a double pass. Thanks FasterLouder.

Freaking amazing. Loved her set.

Young Al Green maybe... nothing like James Brown at all.

I just got a message saying that gold coast is now "bring a mate for free" like Sydney big day out was. I'll look for a link to back this up.......

The festival was practically empty, which helped make it a great day.

Faithless were outstanding.

So true. One of the best festivals sets I've seen. Sasha was also the goods.
