We live in a Wilco bubble. Amazing to me to read how many negative comments about Wilco have been posted on Lockn's FB page after this announcement.

Broken up? You must not have heard about the Lockn' announcement!

I seriously doubt they are headlining, against Phil and Friends and Widespread (both of whom are playing 2x) and the Allmans. I assume they will be a lead-in time slot, and a festival length set of 90 minutes maybe? Just my assumptions. But I'd really fall over if they were headlining. No way.

Supposedly a real s*%$-show last year. First year of the festival. They've promised to improve things this year. Given that this is a Peter Shapiro production, I have a high degree of confidence they will.

I never saw this coming, not for a second.

HOLY SHIT!!!!! Wooohooooo! I was already going, I can't believe this!

I watched this morning. First time I watched that show, I now have it on the DVD lineup.

Me too, several years ago at the Orpheum in Boston. But I will be seeing them again at Lockn'. I've heard this last tour with a new configuration has been very good. I'll see.

I knew you were referring to Lockn', I knew you are going. Maybe she should spend some time listening to some Phil shows first, and see if the music moves her sans Jerry? To go back yo your original proposition, I agree it would be different, I don't predict that Wilco's music will survive in the same way without Tweedy. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

That's a substantial question, it's late at night so I can only be brief now. Yes, there are some who feel the way your friend does, but many fans of the band and Jerry, myself included, are fans of Grateful Dead music, the songs. That music has lived on in various incarnations, even without Jerry. And not a day goes by that we don't think of and miss Jerry. For me, Phil has really carried the torch of Grateful Dead music, and the Grateful Dead itself, in his various Phil and friends incarnations. Furthur too, although that band is now on hiatus. And I dare any fan of the music to listen

I checked the book in the May '77 box, this St. Louis show was the first time Estimated and Eyes were joined, the first of many. And not only was Passenger a first time played, it was previously unheard by everyone in the Arena as had not yet been released.

I know, those shows have been spectacularly special each year. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

That is a Sophie's Choice question, but #1 for me. If you told me I couldn't hear Jack Straw, Mt. Jam, Summerteeth or any one of a million other songs ever again, I don't think I could keep on going. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

So is Tweedy doing a show at Newport or is he playing with Mavis? I would assume he's doing his solo set, but the wording here says he will play "alongside" Mavis to help celebrate her birthday. http://www.jambase.com/Articles/121260/Jeff-Tweedy-Added-to-Newport-Folk-Festival-Lineup Sent from my Windows Phone using Tapatalk

Was a fun show, long time ago, I don't remember much, but I can picture where i was sitting on the floor, I remember being totally psyched to catch St. Stephen, and I remember the Iko coming completely out of left field after they started what certainly seemed like NFA. Can't say I was familiar with Iko at the time, but it had that funky groove that was an instant hit with the fans.

Well yes and no. In Boston, they did Estimated, and then Eyes. There is no > there. Over a minute and a half of break between songs. So it may be the first pairing with the "gazinta" https://archive.org/details/gd77-05-07.rolfe.weiner.6021.sbeok.shnf Could it have been the first instance of the pairing of Bertha>Good Loving? I'll have to check the book in the May '77 box when I get home.

Phish at Dick's would be special

Great pic and story Moss, thanks for sharing. I'm not surprised Johnny's a super nice guy. Just always seems like he would be based on his stage presence.

I'm pulling for you and your crystal ball for Lockn'!

I may have to check out that JJ Grey and Mofro show. It's a nice place to hear music on a nice summer night.

I was at the St. Louis show on 5-15-77 that had 3 bust-outs: first Iko, first Passenger and first instance of the Estimated>Eyes combo.

Television Warren Haynes and Boston Pops play Garcia Rodriguez Sharon Jones and Dap Kings Phish Lockn' Festival Missing JazzFest this year.

Anyone do the PPV? I'm likely to do one night, would prefer the next band configuration next week.

#ticketmastersucks Despite the good service for $3.63. Would take about a billion of those stories to change that hashtag.

Do you climb a pole while naked to watch the movie?
