tangara Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Beautiful lineup top to bottom. I highly recommend checking out Jesse Sykes and the Sweet Hereafter if you're not familiar with them. And I wish the Moondoggies would play anywhere other than Seattle sometimes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

myboyblue Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 inauguralI thought that I was using their words. I asked my wife if I could go to this and was told that we have our "annual" family reunion picnic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SeattleC Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Beautiful lineup top to bottom. I highly recommend checking out Jesse Sykes and the Sweet Hereafter if you're not familiar with them. And I wish the Moondoggies would play anywhere other than Seattle sometimes. I concur on Jesse Sykes. The Sweet Hereafter's guitar player, Phil Wandscher, is really good, and Jesse's wonderful. This is a great lineup, there are a number of good local musicians playing as well. Marymoor is the site of my favorite Wilco show ever. It's a nice venue, with good beer concessions!

Lodestar Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 So, anyone else going to this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SeattleC Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 What a great festival this turned out to be. We showed up spur of the moment in time for the second band (the all star review). Anyone else there? I'll write a bit more and post a few pics later on today. Gillian and David's encore cover of Jackson was a highlight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SeattleC Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Jackson as in Mississippi., not Michael... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone else there? I'll write a bit more and post a few pics later on today. Gillian and David's encore cover of Jackson was a highlight. What a day, indeed. Just a brilliantly-organized festival top to bottom, from the lineup to the venue to staff and security (and the beer selection!)... and what a gorgeous day weather-wise. I went in not knowing a whole lot about the "undercard" acts, but enjoyed every last one of them, especially Jessica Lea Mayfield and Justin Townes Earle. I was also expecting to see a full band set from Iron and Wine (which is what we got last time I saw him, at Sasquatch! 2006), but it was just Sam Beam, and he did not disappoint. Of course, above everything, I can't say enough about Gillian Welch and David Rawlings. I was 10-12 feet from the stage during their set, and I was completely transfixed the entire time. What a pair, what brilliant chemistry and musicality... Rawlings' guitar work blew my brains into a million pieces. One of the best shows I've ever seen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I needed to run it off the next morning. Good cheap food as well. I was sort of familiar with Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, as they were the rest of the band on Robyn Hitchcock's Spooked album, but I didn't realize the talent they bring together. I left a big fan, and have to seek out more of their music. Rawlings guitar was amazing. I really liked Sam Beam's solo set, even though I would have liked to see the whole band. I was recalling seeing them with Calexico, and it would've been nice to see his recent music with drums, etc. Still, I was thinking about Tweedy's solo shows when he played, and how much nerve it takes to pull that off. He did. Jesse Sykes and Phil Wandscher were brilliant as always. I agree with you about the organization - this was the most relaxed festival I've ever been too. and here I thought I was getting too old for them. Here are a few photos for you Lodestar: Jesse Sykes: Sam Beam: Gillian Welch and David Rawlings: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RedVelvet Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Anyone catch The Moondoggies? I'm wondering how they are live (love the album). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SeattleC Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Anyone catch The Moondoggies? I'm wondering how they are live (love the album). They didn't play this, but they are playing the Capitol Hill Block Party on July 25th. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lodestar Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I've found some pretty good vids of the fest on YouTube, and this was probably the highlight of the whole day for me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLGa18pmzCM&feature=related What a song. What a performance. If I was a woman, I would gladly carry Dave Rawlings' child. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SeattleC Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Thanks, you reminded me I haven't watch any youtubes of this festival. This is a great song. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
