“Close your eyes and I’ll kiss you, tomorrow I’ll miss you.” Paul McCartney
It has been a challenge for me to collect all of my thoughts and emotions that get tangled together over our incredible experience at Desert Trip. Nostalgic emotions emerged that bring back memories of high school, no responsibilities and the joys of being a teenager, sprinkled with rock and roll.
Since our kids were little Craig would say, “Who is the greatest band in the world?” The correct answer was always: “The Rolling Stones”. Music and concerts have always been a huge part of our lives, so when we learned the news that Desert Trip was created and coming soon, we knew that the experience of seeing these iconic classic rock bands from our youth was something we needed to share with our grown children.
If I had to guess I would say that the audience consisted of 90% Baby Boomers and 10% everyone else. Nick: “I have never actually seen that many old people at a music festival.” Alex: “It’s like stepping in a time machine”. Oh and can we talk about the outfits? Where did they dig up those old t-shirts? Hippies from years past showed up in their 70’s “rock and roll concert” attire, but for the most part the crowds were a mixture of fashionable and “I don’t give shit what I wear

Desert Trip Rocks with The Rolling Stones and Paul McCartney!
Talk about baby boomer bliss! “Can’t Get No Satisfaction” certainly did not apply to Desert Trip – a music extravaganza with rock legends The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Neil Young, Roger Waters, and The Who.
The iconic festival was held this last weekend, October 7, 8, and 9, 2016, at the Empire Polo Club in Indio and I was thanking my lucky stars to be in the audience.
Oldchella
The massive grounds where the epic concert was held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio Friday afternoon before the event began.
The lineup was every baby boomer’s dream team. Yeah, they made fun of us, dubbing the festival held on the same grounds as Coachella, “Oldchella.” Who cares? We baby boomers are embracing the title. This was a historical moment that has never happened before and may never be repeated again. It’s certainly a weekend I won’t ever forget.
Call it whatever you want. I blissfully and joyfully sang “Hey Jude” with Paul McCartney, as he took the lead cheerfully oozing charisma, with 75,000 other fellow humans in a massive chorus, waving our arms in unison. It was a magical awe-inspiring moment. (See the video under the Paul McCartney subheading below to get a glimpse of what that was like.
