Tried for Cap Theater pre-sale, nothing but GA floor, which I passed on. Pre-sales are usually limited quantities, will give it another try on Friday.

This is a good read: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/03/arts/music/jeff-tweedy-of-wilco-records-with-his-son-spencer.html?_r=2

To think that in 3 days, on Saturday, I'll be able to post "Wilco" in the "Live!Tonight!" topic, and then again the next day, has me beyond psyched. Even though it looks like it could be wet. Three hours of Wilco at Lockn', that's pretty much "An Evening With." I'm expecting no repeats. Psyched.

An Evening With! That just substantially increased the chances I will make the drive down to Portchester from Boston. I've been wanting to get to a show at the Cap since it re-opened.

Knoxville, Raleigh and 2 nights at the Capitol Theater in Portchester round out the announcement

Thanks for the reminder! One for the ages.

they were selling tickets at the door. Crowded, not packed.

I thought of you! And that Dave guy too.

Brass Band 4:45 - 5:45 >>>> The Revivalists 5:45 - 6:45 >>>> The Wood Brothers 6:45 - 8:00 >>>> Lettuce 8:00 - 9:00 >>>> Umphrey's McGee 9:00 - 10:00 >>> The String Cheese Incident 10:00 - 11:00 >> Umphrey's McGee 11:00 - 12:01 >> String Cheese and the Gang 12:01 - 1:00 >>> Taj Mahal (Triangle) 1:00 - 2:30 >>>> Dumpstaphunk (Shakedown) Friday 11:00 -

That's funny, some guy named Dave Maloney posted on their FB page entry for tonight's show: 'Man, would I love to hear The Have Nots tonight!"

I should say, I don't mind spending $40 to see X. Looking forward to this show, love the Sinclair.

Me too. I thought $40 was a cheap ticket.

You are correct, they did "suspend" the liquor license for violations last year, but that suspension is under appeal and does not take effect if upheld until after the festival this year. Apparently, the cops were all over the place last year filming people getting high and drinking (shocking I know), which is what led to the suspension. I'm a little bummed about the police presence.

Beer will be flowing this year. May be an issue for 2015, but not this year.

No license issue for 2014. Here's word on the Billy K Allstars: http://liveforlivemusic.com/news/bill-kreutzmanns-locknstep-allstars-to-include-steve-kimock-oteil-burbridge-col-bruce-hampton-guests-taj-mahal-keller-williams-papa-mali-and-tom-hamilton/#.U_ZOvqPN4TB

The Billy Allstars set was added after Weir cancelled (along with Lettuce!), but they've never officially announced who's playing in it. I'm not familiar with Umphrey's or SCI, though I know lots of folks who like them. Especially SCI. There's a lot else on that schedule that has me pumped.

No announcement yet from Lockn', but Steve Kimock supposedly posted this on his website: Steve Kimock w/ Bill Kreutzmann and the Locknstep Allstars @ Lock'n Festival - Arrington, VA "Kimock plays lead guitar for Bill Kreutzmann and the Locknstep Allstars. Also featuring Oteil Burbridge, Aron Mangor with special guests Taj Mahal, Keller Williams, Papa Mali and Tom Hamilton."

My 24 year old son and his friends have been reading Grantland since day 1, and Hyden in particular. I've now read a couple of his recent music pieces (including the 50 Years of American Music Champions or whatever that was called, I opened a topic on it) and agree, I will try not to miss anymore of his music writings.

Pretty sure the late night sets on those stages are simultaneous. That's certainly the discussion on the Lockn' forums. I've been assuming i will have to make a decision between Hot Tuna and Bustle. Not a decision I want to have to make. Assuming I'm still awake!

A topic about Lockn' should have an image of the 4 day lineup:

Thanks for setting this up. I'm going with 2 friends, really looking forward to it. We decided to go as soon as it was announced as (we thought) our last chance to see the Allmans. (The Allmans then announced the rescheduling of the cancelled Beacon shows in October, so I'll get to see them one more time). And having Phil on the schedule made the decision to travel all the easier. After we bought our tickets, the lineup kept getting better and better. I pretty much fell off my chair at work when Wilco was announced, for 2 days no less. Never saw that coming. Then Furthur, Drive By Truck

Arcade Fire

New Tweedy dates announced, 10/1 and 10/2

I've been wanting to get to the Cap for a Phil show since Peter Shapiro renovated and re-opened it. A Wilco show there may be the one that gets me on the road. Unless of course they add Boston to their schedule. Two festival sets at Lockn' won't be enough for me.
