Festival Plan: While I scored Amos Lee higher than San Fermin, I decided to leave Amos Lee's set early in favor of watching San Fermin's entire set.

*Submitted the setlist below on 20140708.
**Updated the seventh song to "Methuselah" on 20191029.
20140619 9:15 PM - 10:00 PM @ The Forest Stage:
From my standing spot in the crowd of Gregory Alan Isakov, I was able to move up to the second row from the front for San Fermin.
Having heard this band live this last March, I was excited to see them again. In fact, I made the (difficult) choice to watch their entire set instead of skipping out early and watching Amos Lee, whose set starts at 9:45 PM.
While waiting for the show to start, I had overheard that Rae Cassidy was no longer part of the band and that a singer named Charlene Kaye had replaced her. Wondering how this new singer would compare to Cassidy, I considered myself lucky to have heard Cassidy perform with the band back in March.
Well, when the time came for Charlene Kaye to sing, I thought she was a definitely a good singer, but failed to register the amount of intensity and emotion which Rae Cassidy seemed to apply. I recall my friends more or less agreed.
With that being said, Kaye was still a joy to listen to and San Fermin still rocked it!
As a testament to how much I enjoy their music, I would like to note that the only shirt I bought while at Firefly was a San Fermin shirt.

I compared the setlist to another on 20140625. That setlist had every song from this setlist and also had "Casanova" and "Methuselah." Listening to both songs and looking at the lyrics I have come up with the following. First, I think it's a bit strange that I wouldn't have picked up on the lyrics at the end of "Casanova" which is just Allen repeating "And I'll prepare a place for you." Second, I think what I heard as "type" was actually "tie": "I will tie to my body some roses." Furthermore, I think what I heard as "wind" was "wine": "Like a dirty bouquet with your wine." In my opinion, all the signs suggest the song I had yet to identify was "Methuselah."
