Thanks for a very organized show. The bands went on seemingly without a hitch even with the storm -- thanks for also handling that so well! Every group performed excellently. I enjoyed Alabama Shakes so much that I would just love to sit and listen to Brittany Howard's voice for hours. Fun had intense energy as always. Electric Guest has a unique and exciting sound. Garbage was genuine and caring about us the audience, and their sound is very distinctive -- I would like to hear more of them, too. I had heard Silversun Pickups before and will always enjoy hearing their songs. I feel their sound system was a little muddy and difficult to hear the individual tracks, especially the vocalist. Not sure if that had to do with the rush to get setup from the rain delay or what.
I will definitely attend another concert at Riverfront. Parking was fairly carefree (and worth the $10 when we suddenly had to run to our cars!) Beer pricing was VERY reasonable considering most venues. I didn't partake of food, but it looked pretty good. Bathroom accommodations were just fine (could use a few more OUTSIDE the venue for tailgaters). The ATM line was too long (only one machine was working at a time).
Lastly, I don't think this is at all possible, but it would be easier to watch the show if the stage were facing up the hill and positioned on the river side of the field. It was a little difficult to stand with our feet bent upwards, and it would be easier for everyone to see.
Thanks again for a great evening! Your loss City Market!!! Keep up the good work Buzz!

Favorite moment: When Garbage sang, "Only Happy When it Rains" after seeing the double rainbow earlier! Timing was perfect. @
