Burning Man Through the Years - 1986 to 2015

Burning Man 1995

1996 was a major turning point for Burning Man.  Some say it's when Burning Man grew up, others, when it jumped the shark.  I think it jumps the shark (and many other challenges) every year.  The best summary I've heard is, "Burning Man's the thing same every year - completely different.

Anyway, 1996 was before my time on the playa, but here's the best film I've found on the topic:

Burning Man 1996 "No Clemency For The Wood""

Also before my time on the playa:

1997 to 2000
