If only I had a band to play with...

I would tear that sh[B]i[/B]t up.

So Summercamp begins Thursday and thus begins the Festivus season :)

Planning on hittin up Family Groove Company, Cornmeal, Toubab Krewe, Future Rock, Lotus, Panjea, Girl Talk, Method Man & Redman, EOTO, Bassnectar, Easy Star All Stars, Willie Nelson, and more..

Anyone else going? If not, discuss your enthusiasm and excitement for the commencement of the musical orgasm that is this summer.:amaze:

I wanted to go, but figured I couldn't afford two music festivals this summer. The lineup looks pretty cool though.

summer camp should be a blast! youve got all our best wishes man, let us know how it was when you get back...

I need to get a job so I can hit up two festivals this summer. Since I'm staying in Michigan for the summer it seems obvious that I should go to Rothbury (plus all the people I know that are going), but with Panic's limited dates this spring>summer I really wanted to make it to 10k (yes, even though DMB is there and the rest of the lineup is lackluster) for their two headlining nights. Does anyone know anything about working at Rothbury? At this point it's probably too late to apply but I might still anyway. I feel like going "for free" would be worth making some sacrifices over the weekend, but I could be wrong.

Dead show (Chicago 5/5) was great. Dead tour is really, really, reaaaaallly wild...

Oh yea and Ghost, have a blast at Summercamp! That lineup is so stacked I can't see how you wouldn't. Here's to kicking off the season with a bang.

I made it to the 5/14 Dead show at Shoreline in Mountain View, CA. Incredible. Just check out the setlist:

Set 1:
Jack Straw
U.S. Blues >
Mason's Children
Ship Of Fools
Friend Of The Devil >
Standing On The Moon >
Terrapin Station >
Standing On The Moon

Set 2:
Estimated Prophet >
New Potato Caboose >
Born Cross Eyed >
Dear Mr. Fantasy >
Drums >
Space >
Morning Dew >
China Cat Sunflower >
I Know You Rider

E:
Scarlet Begonias >
Fire On The Mountain >
Deal

The Jack Straw opener was really killer, Warren and Jeff really shined leading the band into a really nice jam. The Standing On The Moon > Terrapin > Standing was totally nailed, although the transition from standing to terrapin seemed a little abrupt. second set highlights were the dear mr. fantasy and morning dew which showed warren at his best, drums with firedancers, and a really cooking i know you rider. the encore obviously was quite a treat. warren and bobby both sounded phenomenal vocally (bobby especially was much better than he has been on much of this tour). Instrumentally, the whole band was just really ace, couldn't have asked for more. can't wait for fall tour.

Lunch: ROTHBURY ROCKS....
 

I went last year and I am going again this year. I am street-teaming to try to get a discounted ticket for my friend to go too. It's an amazing festival. Really well put on. I mean, there is shade from trees--so much better than roo. There is nice grassy areas and when they park you there are painted fire lanes--unlike some festivals. If you just cram in there the fire marshall comes and tells you to move. Which allows for easy access and if you need to leave you can. or if someone else does they dont jack up your stuff while your gone so they can leave. There is plenty of potable water--Super important. Langerado ran out constantly. Let's see, the stages are far enough away that you don't have too much competition for sound like Vegoose. Vending is great. Food is good. VERY CLEAN portolets and plenty of them. I cannot compare to 10K lakes per say but seriously if this fest is in your backyard, you MUST go.Hell I am flying from FL for round 2!!! I understand wanting to see Panic, but remember Dead show & String Cheese Reunion. You know Panic is going be around.

Have a Great Summer, no matter what your choice:chug:

So Summercamp was a grand ol' time. I met a lot of really cool people and saw some great music. Highlights for me were Toubab Krewe, Cornmeal, EOTO, Lotus and Bassnectar.

Summercamp really needs to work on the way they do late nights though. Paying an additional $20 for any late night you want to see gets expensive, ridiculous, and annoying. It's cool though because I saw Thursday late night which I didn't mind paying for since I got an entire days worth more of music, and they eventually were letting people in during Bassnectar late night on Sunday. But the barn it's in gets extremely hot with very little air circulation. They need to install fans or open windows.

Basically just an all-around fun time. And something I realized is that Summercamp seems to have some of the friendliest people at a festival, lots of good vibes and good times even when hanging out with complete strangers.

That latenight thing sounds pretty wacky. I don't really get it, you have to pay $20 for each night? That starts to pile up, cause late nights are usually some of the best sets of the festival and what you don't want to miss.

Otherwise that sounds pretty awesome. I saw Cornmeal in February and had a blast. Terrific band.

I'm leaving for Mountain Jam tomorrow, I'll be back with a full report on Monday.

Exactly. They charge an additional $20 for each late night ticket because all the late night shows are held in a big red barn and therefore there is limited capactity. The only reason I was willing to pay an extra $20 for Thursday was because it included other artists playing during the day and also the late night ticket that night, and you get to get there ahead of a lot of people and get a good camping spot. They should just start having the late nights outside because they are indeed some of the best shows at festivals.

And yes, please make sure to give us the low-down on how Mountain Jam was.

Mountain Jam has late night outside which is super sweet as long as it's not raining. except this year Girl Talk is the outside late night tomorrow night which doesn't interest me at all so I'll either be inside at Eric Krasno & Chapter 2 (band of Soulive guitarist) or outside at the campground stage where this local band Stoney Clove Lane (who are actually really talented) are playing. Saturday night Karl Denson's Tiny Universe is outside and U-Melt is inside, who I think will both put on great latenight shows so that's cool. Still doubt any of it will top Dark Star Orchestra latenight under the stars last year on a beautiful night.

I can understand them charging you for Thursday since like you said, it's like an extra full day of music so ends up being a pretty good deal. Charging for the other nights seems wrong to me though. They should definitely start setting up outside latenights there, because if they can manage to do it at Mountain Jam where it's constantly rainy and cold, they could definitely do it at Summercamp.

Agreed. I would have loved to hit up all the late nights this year but obviously was unable to do so. But I should mention that it [I]is[/I] cool that they have one band play decently late each night outside as a free alternative. I was hoping to see Dark Star Orchestra Friday late night because they played a 3 hour set but I was pleased just the same seeing Cornmeal play a late 2 hour set without having to pay additional money. Only thing is the free late nights don't go very late, but it's still cool.

I'd love to hit up Mountain Jam sometime, where exactly is it again? New York if I'm not mistaken?

Did you guys see the additional artists added to Rothbury's lineup? Umphrey's McGee, Keller Williams, The White Buffalo, The Parlor Mob, Reed Thomas Lawrence, Wendy Darling, Big Gigantic and LYNX & Janover.

I'm not familiar with half of those, but I'm definitely excited to see Umphrey's after missing them a few months back.

Recently got destroyed by this one again:

11/11/73 Dark Star>Eyes>China Doll

Possibly my favorite DS with one of the craziest MLB jams ever towards the end, give it a listen.

Have fun, Rothbury looks intense this year.


Who else is seeing Phish at Red Rocks?

That would be quite an experience, but I don't even want to know what tickets would run...

Speaking of Red Rocks though, my friends just returned from Bisco Inferno out in Morrison, CO. Simply put, they said it was [I]unreal[/I].

Also, the Biscuits' set from it is already up on the archive:

Right on. What are the kids using these days? Does Megaupload still work?

I have the released Winterland Box Set (11/9, 11/10 and 11/11) so I can get you the "official" copy (shhhhhhh).

Here we go:[quote]

Here's the captain himself:

And, for good measure, here's some heat I'm currently enjoying:

I definitely like megaupload more than rapidshare or any of the others.

Yea, it's working nicely. I haven't uploaded anything in a long time. Remember it used to be all the rage? We had the mailing list and everything. Good times

Yea, those were the days. Most of my music came from people on this site.

i've been listening to solar circus quite a bit lately. these guys had some fun. i wonder if anyone recorded their reunion show from a couple months ago. i'd like to hear that.

here they are jamming with of all people bruce springsteen the day after we lost jerry http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kA7vTOYdQKk

yeah i got a whole bunch of great stuff from those old ysi threads... good times indeed.

I saw NRPS last night which was a good show. David Nelson and Buddy Cage are still playing well and the band sounds great together. A tribute band for The Band opened and was fantastic, even though their name, The The Band Band was pretty dumb. The show was at a pretty fancy club in new york so we kind of figured we wouldn't be able to smoke inside. We were wrong, and of course with NRPS everyone was smoking constantly. We planned ahead though, and made some edibles that kicked in during The The Band Band's set and got me absurdly high, so the opening set was really fun. I just love The Band, their songs are just the best and the cover band played them very well. Great setlist- This Whee's On Fire, The Shape I'm In, The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, Up On Cripple Creek, Stage Fright, King Harvest, Ophelia, I Shall Be Released, It Makes No Difference, W.S. Walcott Medicine Show, Life Is A Carnival, Chest Fever, The Weight... maybe even one or two more. They got better as they kept playing too, which is probably why their set was extended a little bit. I was pretty impressed and I'd definitely see them again.

NRPS were about as good as I expected. They have a new cd out which I bought at the show and they played a bunch off that, some of which are incredible and others not so much. In particular, check out the tune "Down The Middle" from the new album, beautiful lyrics by Robert Hunter. Played a bunch of old classics too that were all done well. Nelson in particular was in great shape, his guitar was really loud which was nice because he's just got such an interesting lead style. Anyways, you guys should check out the new riders if they're in your area- still good music and a real fun time...

Also sometime I gotta get around to writing a full mountain jam review but i'm too lazy to write that now.

Do any of you guys have Live Phish 13? I've been looking high and low for it.

^I have it... i never really listen to it because their cover of the white album kinda sucks but i can upload it for you if you want.

I would be very grateful :thumb:

“And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.” ~ Max Ehrmann [/CENTER]

Going to see Ozric Tentacles tonight! Not exactly jam but should be excellent. Haven't heard any of their material from basically the last 10-15 years so I don't know what to expect.

dont get TOO high buddy! haha


well my story for the weekend is my friend went down to bonnaroo yesterday and ended up getting two free wristbands. i stayed here and woke up to a busted water heater and water standing all through the house this morning. bummer, but at least i know he'll bring some goodies back!

Yeah I had eight friends that went down this year, I was supposed to be there as well but after a misfortunate incident I am no longer welcome across the border. :(

that sucks. i probably could've gone to bonnaroo but it would have been my one major spending thing for the summer. Instead I decided to go to the much cheaper and closer Mountain Jam and a bunch of other shows. I'm probably going to the Clearwater Music Festival next weekend which is like twenty minutes from me and put together by Pete Seeger. Not any jambands except Cornmeal but it's a pretty good lineup with Seeger, Richie Havens, Arlo Guthrie, Old Crow Medicine Show, Grace Potter, Taj Mahal, Alejandro Escovedo and others along with Cornmeal. Good price too, only 90 bucks for 2 days.

Saw a free Robert Randolph show on Friday. It was the first time I'd seen him and damn does he put on a good show.

Phish on Thursday :D

this thread is hilarious, you guys all have Dead avatars

my spanish teacher saw the Dead 51 times, beat that
