How this night is known
Remembered Attendee confirmed
Free River Rocks show, the last of the 2012 series. Tal described the ending the next day: Grimes had not spoken all concert, said that was all the music she had, played a few unfinished songs and left the stage, then came back for one more song as the crowd walked out. Tal also recalled The Flaming Lips and Santigold from around the same spot. Both played Colbchella on the Intrepid the next night (2012-08-10), but on 2012-08-14 Tal wrote about being sad to have missed that festival, and on 2026-11-08 Tal chose not to log it. Santigold was also on the bill on days Tal attended Bonnaroo (2012-06-09) and Governors Ball (2012-06-23), which may be where that memory comes from.
Research notes. BrooklynVegan posted Wild Nothing and DIIV setlists for this show, but no Grimes setlist turned up. The photo library was not searched for this date.
