As I slugged the Tecate, and cursed those damn pickle men on level 3 of Burgertime, I heard some band start to play a Queen cover in the background. I thought it was like the sound dudes testing out the sound, but when they finished and went directly into "Death on 2 Legs", I realized this was a Queen cover band. I didn't remember reading anything about it, but fuck it, maybe it was a local opener, it was still early. As I walked down to check them out, they unloaded hit after hit, jam after jam, and dare I say one of the best sets of the whole festival. The band was called Magnifico, and they WERE local. I had to look down at my beer and remind myself that I had only had that one, but I was singing my ass off, as this dude pranced around in his purple unitard. Classic shit. They finished with "Under Pressure" into "Bohemian Rhapsody", and I was blown away.
