rhino4evr Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Just curious what everyone's thoughts were Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kidsmoke Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 That's a tough one to answer, both because there were several contenders, but also because it is impossible for one person to see everything. If they were to replay the whole thing, I might have seen an entirely different (and probably equally satisfying) Solid Sound 5. For my money, Kevin Morby was one of the real stand-outs. He turned in a magnificent set, ending with a blistering one-two punch of "Dorothy" and "The Ballad of Arlo Jones". My face is still a little melted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nalafej Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Deep Sea Diver was my favorite. I wasn't disappointed by anybody though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BillLee Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 My vote goes to Television - precise, edgy guitarwork. And whatever 72-year old Peter Wolf takes, I'll have two please. I was surprised at how entertaining his set was. The Shaggs are....an acquired taste. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mizzy Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Peter Wolf for me. He rocked it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bill39me Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Big Thief for me - their second song "Mary" gave me goose-bumps.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think I can safely say that missing KM was the biggest "blew it" of SS for me. Didn't really get to dig in to his music before the weekend, but am now you tubing some, and it's great. Being a first time Sounder, this is exactly the kind of thing I thought could be discovered there. There was so much great music, however, everything I saw was a highlight. Peter Wolf was indeed one of them. Kurt Vile was also great to finally catch. Kid be grown. Miss again, never more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shawnsolo73 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Outside of Wilco / Tweedy my favorite was Kevin Morby. Kurt Vile was great as well. I had a blast in the comedy area. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kidsmoke Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Don't you just wish sometimes you could clone yourself, split off to all you don't want to miss, and meet up later and merge together? Someday science will work this out for us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
