What would you say if I told you that...

[The Other One]

Phish and Ween were playing this year, along with Dead and Co?

[Sneake]

it wouldn't change my day whatsoever, but i'm probably in the minority

[war fart]

Uh...you just throwing that out there, or did you hear something? I'll be glad as hell I bought 'Lumni then!

One of my FB friends who claims to be in the know has said that Dead and CO, Phish and Ween are playing Lockn. He says that he has sources such as Frey but I can't confirm this. I'm just passing along what he says, just for fun you know.

Any word on Love Canon? I mean if I don't get to hear Kenny Loggins' Danger Zone on the banjo, what's the point of even showing up?

Pretty sure Lockn 1 was the first fest they ever played,so you're golden.

Also, insert snarky comment because you shat all over something I like here.

I have always looked forward to the day phish plays lockn. I'm not getting my hopes up till i see something concrete. I could see phish having a solo fest on the property being in the realm of possiblity too. Would much rather them play lockn though.

[dool]

This would be incredible and I could care less about Ween. Don't think it will happen but just like Worf I would be glad to already have tickets. I also think a Phish festival at the farm in the future is a possibility.

You have a really good batting average with rumors like this so I'm gonna run with it, just for fun.

[mccjeff]

Wouldn't change my day either. We will still have our tix and still be fired up to go.

I apologize. To have shat was not my intention--I was going for minor good-natured smart-assery.

For what it's worth my musical tastes are often in the minority. For example, I am extremely anti-Kadlecik and my ears cannot handle the frequencies at which Grace Potter sings (no issues with her looks of course). And I am pretty sure most of the people on this board cannot make similar claims.

I can also offer the following in defense of Love Canon regarding their performance at Warren's 2015 X-mas Jam: Number of times Bruce Hornsby has joined me on stage = 0.

Anywho, to properly answer the thread, I will say that Phish playing would stoke me aside from the fact that I would be concerned about crowd size. I suspect Phish could draw a crowd that would ensure I would be "viewing" their set from somewhere between Sam Cutler's booth and the back row of porta-potties. I would welcome Ween although thus far I have only been able to handle them in small doses. I have several friends that love them and have tried to sell me on them, and it just hasn't really clicked as of yet.

[war fart]

Love Canon is a novelty act. There's no doubt about it. I just enjoy some novelty acts. I wouldn't say "bucket list," but I'm surprised at myself for having never seen Weird AL.

Love Cannon is the definition of listening to a set and walking away thinking how much fun it was. 

Don't have to love bluegrass, don't have to analyze them in any way, shape, or form, but if anyone walks away from their set without a smile...I don't want to know them. 

They killed it at The Festy. Fight for Your Right to Party had the whole tent rocking hard and singing out loud. 

Its just plain old fashion fun.

[smosey wales]

I'd just a soon Phish and it Phishheads have their own gig another time.

[war fart]

Crowd size is definitely a concern, but as far as the heads go...I thought we got over this whole Phans v. Deadheads thing back during Fare Thee Well.

I haven't been to a Phish show since the 90s, so I'm not gonna hate on their fans unless and until I have a demonstrable reason to.

Same, Phish is fine, I don't understand Ween, these seem like they'd be standard Lockn' gets at this point.

[smosey wales]

I don't hate them; I don't even know them, but I see them as a seperate horde coming to the grounds for one purpose. Of course, I'm sure there are plenty of people who come to Lockn for its bands who are also Phans; no problem. But as you put it, crowd size.

Any mega-act can "suck the air out of the room" and change the dynamics of Lockn, especially as to operations and logistics. The place holds the 20-30,000 fine; I would not want to double that or even increase it much more than it is.

Here's to short walks and short lines!

My issue w/ the Rolling Stones rumor, and to some degree w/ this one, is more an issue of resource allocation.  These bands get mega-money for their own events.  I wonder if promoters wold have to give them such a large piece of the pie that it would compromise their ability to fill out the rest of the schedule.  Maybe increased business would make it worthwhile financially.

[smosey wales]

I agree and doubt the promoters would book a mega-act. That's why I never thought a "Fare Thee Well" would occur at Lockn, especially not THE Fare-thee-Well" show. The spread-around version we got last year (which was fine with me) was not going to bump the logistics but would still sell tickets.

No Stones, Springsteen, Eagles, Phish, McCartney or Elvis will happen at Lockn. Probably not Buffet or Dave Mathews, either. Just as well, IMO.

[wizard1]

I would be glad I bought a ticket before phish got announced.


I am hoping for 2 sets of Dead & Co. as well as 2 sets of Phil & Friends w/ Trey.  I think Trey has worked with Phil enough that it wouldn't be the same as some of the more thrown together line-ups we have seen.

That totally sucks...RIP Glenn Frey. May the four winds blow you safely home...

[smosey wales]

Seems like whenever I mention someone here they end up dead.

I feel like a harbinger; rather be a Harvey Wallbanger.

Too bad about Frey; 67 is young.
