First, I admit I have no idea what the criteria is for nomination/admission. But the fact that Joan Jett is on the list of nominees is probably the zillionth example that the whole thing is suspect. And I'm sure I can go through the list of actual inductees and find many more in the Joan Jett category. But whatever the criteria are or should be, I have no problem making the case for Phish. I won't bore you and everyone with it here, not my mission to try to influence anyone (not that I could), I'm sure you know what I would say before I even say it. Not only do I love the band, the music

Absolutely, without question. Whatever the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame is, and whatever the criteria is or should be, Phish should and will be in. First ballot HOF'ers in my book. Your question is more relevant to Joan Jett's nomination in my view.

Ditto that for me. But would love that icing to be flavored with Los Lobos (Hidalgo played last year) or Lucinda.

This was Phish's first year of eligibility.

And we all thought she was just some random audience member. That makes sense, she could definitely sing. Commenters on FB weren't all too pleased either. Didn't bother me, it amused me. I didn't think Tweedy was amused. But as I said, she could definitely sing.

"so we went straight to rail behind VIP", I probably walked right by you many times. thought the sound was great wherever I went. I'm not a retired sound engineer, so I don't know how to describe it or how they got it so good, but it was that good. The bass/low end had our shirts physically vibrating, without any distortion. I tip my hat to Peter Shapiro. He runs a first rate operation at Brooklyn Bowl, the Cap in Portchester (from what I hear, making my first appearance there for Wilco) and now got their act together at Lockn'.

Gee, I am so thankful, my Lockn' experience was very different from Wilco Me's and Alex's. Confess (without any shame whatsoever) right up front, we did the VIP (non-camping) package. Went with 2 buddies, one of my best friends in Boston for 34 years, and one of my best friends from home since 7th grade who came in from LA. He and I started seeing Hot Tuna, the Dead and the Allmans together in '73, so to be at Lockn' together in 2014 was truly special. At ages 56 and 57, was no way we could do this without the VIP pass (which I think was only $100 more as an early bird than a standard 4 day

New Dave's Pick announced. Colgate, 11-4-77. Used to have this on cassette, haven't heard it in years. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I don't know I can say I like it as much or better than The Whole Love, but it's certainly in the conversation. Which speaks very highly for Sukierae.

I've always liked the last one too.

The Outlaws! Didn't know they were still on the road. That takes me back. My calendar for tonight says Marco Benevento, but my kids are both coming in from out of town so I'm staying home.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought that was a strange booking

I'm going on October 21, rescheduled show from March, also happens to be my birthday. First saw them in 1973, thought Lockn' would be the last one when we got those tickets, but now "this will be the last time".

I always thought the deli tray show was at Irving Plaza.

You put my previous efforts to shame! I was trying to get Summer Teeth played at one of the Lockn' sets, but obviously didn't have the fortitude you demonstrated. Sent from my Windows Phone using Tapatalk

Way to go WWN! But how come you didn't identify yourself when Tweedy called you out? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Jambase post doesn't seem to indicate the Allmans are playing: "Even though it appears the Allmans will play the final shows of their 45-year career late next month, Wanee will continue in 2015." Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

What? Who's playing guitar? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
