It's comparing apples to oranges. Love them both. Solid Sound always ends up being my favorite weekend of the summer, and that includes my vacation weeks. But Lockn' was awesome. I had a different experience from Wilco Me (yes, I was in the hated VIP section, but at my age I couldn't do it any other way). I didn't find it too large or overcrowded, the vending was great (never waited on line for anything more than a minute or 2), the sound system was fantastic and the side by side stages were brilliant. The VIP areas did not occupy the entire front of the stages, it went from halfway of o

What I took away from that is the distinct possibility of appearances at Lockn'. Which makes perfect sense. I love Phish, but fear having them on the bill would overrun the festival.

Wilco 10/29/14 Capitol Theatre - Port Chester, NY

"a "firing on all cylinders" musical happening that doesn't occur every night" That's pretty much how I felt about that entire show! I came out of there and told my friends i felt like the band played with such intensity the entire night, as if they were determined to make every song the "best ever" version. Over the weekend I will get myself properly adjusted and give Ashes a good listen. -
Talk of GD 50th interlocking with Phish at Lockn' 2015.

Some musings on the GD 50th year, and Lockn, by Scott Allen, the guy who wrote Aces Back to Back (anyone read that book?). I loved Lockn this year, and I love Phish, but I'm not so sure I love Phish and all that entails at Lockn: Since we last discussed the topic of a Core Four reunion of the Dead, a lot of things have changed, and plenty of divergent but credible opinions have emerged about what may or may not unfold in 2015. As I have stated twice, it is a fact that concert promoters have been demanding exorbitant insurance policies for any show, tour, or series of dates involving a Core

Some more, or less, Austin info for you: "Hey man. Sadly I don't have any intel on residency bands in Austin. I would recommend the Continental Club, Lucky Lounge and The Hole in the Wall as possibilities. All have local and touring acts. If your friend digs jazz, The Elelphant Room is also a good place to check out."

I don't know if Stan did anything different, but these Port Chester Roadcase releases sound superb to my ears, as it did live. Combination of a great sound engineer and great house sound?
-
I checked with a couple of Austin friends, heard back from one so far: Really depends on what kind of music he likes. If he likes guitar slingers, I recommend David Grissom free 6:00 Tuesday Happy Hour at the Saxon Pub. If not, just look at the Chronicle listings when he gets here.

Wilco 10/29/14 Capitol Theatre - Port Chester, NY

Hmmm, not only was I in the house, but I've listened to it several times. Not that I didn't love every second of it, but it hasn't struck me as having an outro jam that was unusual or more out there than other versions of Ashes. I will have to listen again. And I love the spring '77 reference, I know *exactly* what you refer to. Don't have a clue about the Floyd Live at Pompeii era though -
I wouldn't necessarily assume that Wilco will be back next year. Although they just did 3 nights at the Cap Theatre, another Peter Shapiro venue, so I figured it was bundled together, and Tweedy did say something at the last night of the Cap run about being back next year, so perhaps. One thing you can be sure of: Wilco will be playing Solid Sound!
-
I made it only to the second show but bought all 3 Roadcases. I feel the same, like listening to one long show, I can drop in at any point. Will be listening to these for a while. Until the Winterludes become available!

Must have been great if you went back. Is there an opening band? What time do Lucero come on? Let me know if you go Sunday too, I'll be there. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I'm going Sunday. Not familiar with Lucero, but a friend suggested it so I'm in. Couldn't believe they're doing a 3 night run, I never really heard of them. Been listening on Spotify, remind me of the Truckers. Should be fun. You going all 3?

TDK? What, you weren't using Maxell XL-II's? I had lots of cassettes, don't know how many but a lot, all organized chronologically of course, and most of which had custom made covers that I either made or got on the WELL or other boards and printed. Some really nice artwork. Alas, I don't have my cassette machines hooked up (I had 2 Nak's), and I'm pretty sure I ditched most of the tapes. It hurt me to do that. But on the bright side, I have a new turntable going where one of the cassette decks would be. I'm pretty sure I have this Broome County Arena show somewhere on disc, either aud

Derek addresses the Dickey Betts situation. If you believe Derek, and I do, then Betts' manager appears to be full of crap. http://www.jambase.com/Articles/123244/Derek-Trucks-Talks-Final-Allman-Brothers-Show-and-Dickey-Betts Sent from my Windows Phone using Tapatalk

Port Chester Roadcase, October 28 Sent from my Windows Phone using Tapatalk -
Heads up, I was clicking on the wrong entry in "my downloads" menu. For some reason, they now have 3 entries for each Roadcase ordered, all with download arrows, I was clicking on the first one, you have to scroll down to find the mp3 or flac download (which will show 10 downloads available). I don't remember this being the case with all my previous Roadcase purchases, so I found it confusing, but Jeena of Kung Fu helped me through it.

I've had that tape for years. Funny you mention the second set, this is one of my favorite first sets of all time (along with Buffalo 5-9-77). The Half Step opener is insane, the Music Never Stopped closer freakin rocks, and everything in between is totally top notch! Anyone who hasn't heard this, I recommend it highly.
-
Anyone else have a problem with the Port Chester downloads. I clicked on the download link for the first night and all that happened was a new tab opened with the cover art work. No files downloaded and now I have zero downloads left for this show. Email sent to Kung Fu.

In today's WSJ: "I began to look forward to the Allmans’ Beacon runs, and after each concert would tell friends about what I’d heard. When they would ask what had been the best song that night, I’d reply that that was like asking about the best frame around a picture in an art gallery. No matter how well crafted and feverishly sung by Messrs. Allman or Haynes, the songs served to introduce dazzling instrumental improvisations, with melodic solos building at breakneck speed that were supported by exemplary communication among Mr. Burbridge and the percussionists. Though I had savored Weather R

I pre-ordered all 3 of the Cap Theatre run. Plenty of set list variety right there

Yes to the Q, though I'm compelled to say that the Lockn' version of Russo, Warren, Scofield and Modeski was right there with the Q in my book. Well I never carped on them as a "cover" band. I thought they were great. I don't listen to the recordings much if at all, if I'm going to listen to GD tunes I'll put on the GD, but I always loved seeing Furthur and thought they did a great job with the songbook, even with my frustrations with Weir.
-
Phish, Allmans, Mule, Dead/Phil, etc., all make every show available for download. I assume the economics work for them else they wouldn't do it. Granted, they all have larger audiences than Wilco. As much as I love the Wilco studio releases, I'm a live music fan and 90% of what I listen to is live recordings, so I'd love to see them open the vault for downloads.
