It looks like a fun time, but it doesn't really seem like a major contender for best all around festival. It doesn't help that the Virgin Mobile Festival in Baltimore was taking place the same weekend, which pulled both patrons and talent away from All Points West. We shall see if this one will repeat next year. But really, how are you going to top two nights of Radiohead next year?
The final day of the first annual(?) All Points West festival featured a much different vibe than the more indie-tastic Friday and Saturday. The big name on the bill was Jack Johnson, whose set featured sit-ins from both Trey Anastasio and Matt Costa, who had both performed with their own bands earlier in the day. Other performers during the jam-friendly Sunday included Rodrigo y Gabriela, Cat Power and Amadou and Mariam on the main stage, and The Secret Machines, Grace Potter & The Nocturnals, and Rogue Wave holding down the other two. We wish we could have made it up to NYC for this event, but thankfully a whole bunch of other folks did.

Me, I'm glad I didn't go. After experiencing the awesomeness of Rothbury, I think that a Goldenvoice hipsterfest would just be a let-down. And while I'm at it, fuck a bunch of only five beers per person.
