REVIEWS OF PAST SHOWS
What do you think about the Ojai Classic Rock Festivals? Thank you so much HOWARD! Me and Valarie are already looking forward to helping promote next year and have such a wonderful time once again! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!
Thanks for the good time. The show was fantastic, and I ate more food at that fest than any other in my life. I also must say the female Led Zeppelin, was the best thing I’ve seen since Jerry Garcia. She brought people to tears, she was so good. You know you have to have her next year. The other ZEP bands you’ve had were great, and I was always impressed, but none of these guys, can hold a candle to this lady.
See you again.......Thanks for putting such great events together. Stand Strong, Long may the Music Play On...........
Thanks for a GREAT day Howard! See you next year!
It was a great event!
Congrats to another successful show Howard!
The sound system was excellent! Our family had fun and made it the entire show. Good food selections too. Nice crowd. It was a great event!The sound system was excellent! Our family had fun and made it the entire show. Good food selections too. Nice crowd. Thanks!
I really hope that you do the Rock Festival again. I look so forward to this every summer and it is one of our favorites. We live in Simi Valley and have been coming for the last four years. I would be glad to hang fliers in our area if you need us to.
I've been to about 6 of your events and am loving them. The last was at the Lake. I love Cubensis. I hope you'll let them play for 3-5 hours.
I am so glad you are giving another great concert up in Ojai. I was wondering if you were going to have another gig up at Lake Casitas as well. We made it last year and had such a good time. I ran into some old girlfriends from Jr. High school from 30 years ago as well as another long lost friend I hadn't seen in 10 years. The low key atmosphere, good vibes, absolutely stunning venue and stellar bands makes this event something I look forward to all year.
Guess I should thank you for last years classic rock all day festival in august. What a FUN!!! day. Loved the come and go casualness of Libbey Bowl. The line-up was stellar!!! I really liked the Pink Floyd band, as well as Jimi Hendrix, of course my friends QB...BUT...The real reason I'm thanking you (again) is cuz I rendezvoused with a fellow QB/Ratdog/Dead fan at this show (1st time) and we are now very happily living and loving life together. No, we're not married yet, but we have discussed the prospects. We refer to Ojai frequently and just thought it might make ya smile to know that...
Please keep me updated on any pictures of this Saturday!!! Thanks so much me and my friends had a blast!!! thanks for keeping the music alive!!! ps cant wait till next summer!!!
Howard, THANK YOU!!!! So much from me and the 12 other people that I know of that came! We all had a great day! As always I'm available for helping out next year. Congrats on another great event! You are the best!!!!
Just wanted to say thank you again for another great "CLASSIC ROCK FESTIVAL". This time we brought some of are friends and now they to are hooked! I truly look forward to these more than anything else during the year. So here's to a long wait before the next. See you again next year. Stay well.
I loved the music and enjoyed selling out under an oak tree. It was a very pleasant day. Thanks for a great show!
I had an utter blast at the show Saturday!!!! Great venue, great bands, great people!!!!!!! THANKS for putting it on
What a GREAT show this past Saturday, my 1st time in attendance at Libbey Bowl Park, sweet place indeed. Hope you are turning some profit as I've heard through the Cubensis web that these may be your last shows...Nevertheless, just wanted to say THANX!!! for a really good time this past weekend...I appreciate all the time/effort you have devoted to bringing us together to celebrate the tunage of our times...
I've gone to the Ojai Classic Rock Festivals at Libby Park like 5 times! And these classic rock concerts really rock! It's like going back to the 60's and early 70's!!!!
Great all the time!! We had a great time last year
amazing, lots of fun
I love the music, the lasers, the people, and especially Howard and his family for doing what they do and trying to make Ojai the kind of place I think it can and should be.
they have been the best events that i have been to since I left the east coast in 1988. I don't go to the big concerts because they are too expensive, its hard to get up close, and just not as much fun as a good ol outdoor rock fest where you can kick back and relax and not be confined to assigned seating. The bands you had at these fests are first class at a great price. Thank you so much indeed.
I think Its AWESoME
I HAVE BEEN TO THEM ALL !!!!!
I saw some of these bands live and I prefer these tribute bands. Tribute bands play tunes from the groups whole career, often better than original bands, without the expense and crowds, and you can get up close in the fantastic Libby Bowl.
Its great!
One of my favorite days of the year!
I love them and I haven't missed one show! I always bring at least 5 to 10 friends with me and some come from Santa Barbara to enjoy the show. I send out evites to my friends to get them to come and I even let them stay the night at my house if they need to afterwards. I will send out another evite for this show and see if I can rally my group. Thanks so much for producing such amazing shows!
For the price you charge and the quality of the bands that perform, it is well worth the drive from Long Beach to attend..and we will support you in any way we can...
Every show we've been able to go to has been a blast! My husband and I love dancing to Cubensis. I can close my eyes and be transported 20 years back to the Dead. It fills my bones. Thank you for keeping the music alive, and with it the love and the good vibes. You provide a venue for humanity to connect.
One word "Awesome" Howard. We do really appreciate all that you do for the music people and the Bands. We would go to all the Festivals. Keep them coming, and we will pass the word around. Thanks Again for all you do. Keep the Faith.
I Love your Ojai festivals. Me and my friends go every summer and some other events you inform us about! I cant wait for this upcoming fest! I am bummed that the shows are in trouble, we are just trying to keep music alive and have a good time!! I will spread the word to my friends and do what i can, anything to keep the music festivals going! Thanks for your updates!
THEY'RE GREAT !
We love it
Over-the-top!
Love the music, vibe, vending, town, etc. Wish there was on-site camping. Hope there are more fests there! Sorry I couldn't make it to Casitas. Broke my heart but I had family stuff going on. I would definitely attend another fest there, or any other camping fest, and I would absolutely bring a friend or 2!
I love the shows this will be the 4th show me and my daughter have attended (she's only 4) she loves going to hear and dance to the music, she even step on a bee at the RockFest last week but still wanted to stay and listen to the music even though her foot swelled up and she could not walk, I hope the concerts will continue so I may enjoy great music with my little one, so she will grow up knowing what great music is
Have loved the concerts in Ojai. We have been going since Dead on the Mountain. Every concert is different, with excellent music. I plan on telling all my friends, to attend.
I hope you can find a way to continue. Good luck!!
They cant die... they MUST go on!
Great.... Lot of fun.
I just wanted to let you know that the Tucson Rockfest ' 07concert that you put on back in May was probably the best concert I have seen in my 40+ years of wandering this great planet. I brought my teenage son and 2 of his friends to the show and we had the best time hanging out with the bands during their performances as well as talking with them while they were out strolling through the crowd. The only drawback to that day was that it was hotter than a highway to hell, but then again that just made the liquid refreshment and fresh roasted ears of corn that much more enjoyable. You couldn't have picked a more perfect lineup of bands either. They all rocked it hard and loud and my ears were still ringing 2 days after the show. This picture below from Ron Cleary (who must have taken a thousand pictures) shows me and my big head at the far right side of the picture...Sure looks like I'm having a great time huh? I really hope that you will come back to Tucson with your awesome crew and a similar show of rockers on the bill. After telling my friends about the show and showing them the pictures I will be adding at least 20 more people to Tucson Rockfest ' 08 (or sooner) and my son and his friends will be adding close to the same amount as well...C'mon back down to Tucson, I'll bet we suprise you with a packed house, er, lawn...Keep up the good work!!!
