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.

Love the Sinclair. I'll next be there for X.

posting at 5:21 a.m., I hope you get a nap before the show! OK, I give up, who is that?

Gov't Mule

Agreed. To quote my good buddy: "I started at the bottom and started to work up. I got to Deerhunter and stopped (prime competition = Vampire Weekend). Really?" My mid-20's kid and friends would say Kanye ruled for those years, but he doesn't qualify as per the author's rules.

Interesting piece published by Steven Hyden on Grantland. http://grantland.com/features/the-american-band-championship-belt/ The title says what it is, his opinion on the best American band year by year (or multiple years in many cases) for the last 50. I've only skimmed it so far, but a few lines caught my attention. "I tried to be as impartial as one can be when handing out a fictional prize on the basis of perceived artistic value. There are times when I chose groups that I personally don’t feel that strongly about, but whose résumés were indisputable. There were also times when pers

I didn't realize it was Re-recordings. I assumed it was a compilation of tracks previously released. I love RT, I will get a disc of new recordings of his acoustic playing of those songs.

On a purely selfish perspective, I was really looking forward to hopefully seeing Weir sit in with Wilco at Lockn'. And the Ratdog>Phil and Friends>Furthur progression on Friday.

Announced today that Bob Weir and Ratdog immediately canceled all scheduled dates. Including Lockn', which also means no Furthur. Whatever it is, can't be good.

Row A mezz are great seats!

I hear the film is in editing mode and being actively worked on.

Who do you think would be better than Front Gate? Not that I'm a Front Gate fan boy, but If such a thing exists, I haven't come across it.

Absolutely right. I don't know why I have that labeled as Roosevelt Stadium, could be from '73. Jerry was definitely beardless in '74, which totally spaced me out when they came out.

I got 2 for Boston, center orchestra (but Row U).

So many highlights: Playing>Scarlet>Playing (in first set!), and that monster Sugar Mag jam sequence in the second set. Can't believe I got a Spanish Jam at my first show (although I'm sure I didn't appreciate the significance as I would later). Definitely a show for the ages.
