Haitink's finale constituted nothing less than a triumph. The "alpenhorn" theme flowed majestically through the Shed and Lawn, as did the brass chorale that follows it. Haitink's initial reading of the main theme (the one derived from Beethoven's Ninth Symphony) seemed last at first. The tempo, however, reaped its reward in the development, instead of the usual disconnected and episodic character of that section. Haitink's interpretation was brisk and lively.

(See above.) The oath was administered to a total of 20,000 throughout the country by satellite...
Walking over to the Gonzo stage, we confirmed the rumor that the Great Woods lawn had been converted to a beach, Despite our best efforts, we couldn't avoid stepping the many soggy, sandy blankets that littered the place. I was thankful that The Crimson had gotten me a seat under the Pavilion, where I could enjoy the show without collecting water and sand in my shoes...
