Orion fest 2012 was so great. Not only did Metallica play “Ride the Lightning” in its entirety, but they had an awesome, diverse set of acts throughout the weekend. The other bands I wanted to see the most were Titus Andronicus, Volbeat, and Roky Erickson. Roky played early in the first day, so I just whipped out the video camera and filmed while waiting for security to do something… nope. They did nothing. So I filmed a bunch of the bands that weekend. I know Kiloh Smith is a big Roky fan, so hopefully he will enjoy this. Heather Copeland too, for the Okkervil River. It was a fascinating watch- Roky would turn to Will Sheff from OR and Will would mouth the words to the line/verse of ROKY’s SONG etc and Roky would start in.
