Furthur ?????

[jerryhickman]

Does Ratdog tour cancell mean no Furthur at Lockn what will they do now !!! Folks are going to be trippin on refunds !!! Not myself but some folks

[hikertrash]

Some friends i'm going with are already talking about not going, plenty of other good music

[tatanka]

SO BUMMED! Furthur and ratdog were a huge selling point for me to go. I'm still going but I'm super bummed. If they pulled of Further/more Phil & Friends with Warren & John K then that would be a step in the right direction. As far as replacing Ratdogs 2 sets, the only bands/artist I can think of that would be sufficient replacements would be: Neil Young, My Morning Jacket, David Gilmour, DMB, Paul Simon, Eric Clapton, and maybe Little Feat (I'd love to see them even without Lowell). Pleeeeease NO Trey band, for the love of god.

[electricmike]

Trey should still be worn out from channeling Neil's energy last year. I don't think he's up for the task of channeling bobby, too.

I can't imagine them finding another heavy hitter with the availability at this late of a date. But I'm not sure they can really consider a bobby-less band to be Furthur.

Here's hoping Greg allman doesn't pull out in the next month. Could potentially kill the festivals chances of coming back next year

[Sneake]

clapton would be great, i could do without the rest (besides neil who isnt even an option, lol). jack would be at the top of my wish list. trey would be great, love him. dont think he'd be enough of a replacement though

[longhairdontcare]

Has anything been said about it being Bobby? I just seen where ratdog canceled their dates. If its not Bobby then Furthur shouldn't be an issue

it's Bobby

[mccjeff]

They replaced Jerry in Other Ones/The Dead/Furthur, they can replace Bob. Jackie Green or Chris Robinson makes sense but I heard Neil Young is his replacement.

I hate this about Bob and hope all is well with him, but to have Neil as his replacement would be excellent. I'm curious as to your source of this info.

[jerryhickman]

Furthur forum has little more detail !!

[lovelivemusic]

My Morning Jacket Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn!! I shoulda seen that coming!

UPDATE: An official statement from the Weir camp to Jambands.com confirms that Weir will not appear with Furthur at this year’s Lockn’ Festival. Weir is off the road immediately and indefinitely.

Lets all hope that mr Weir gets his shit together...it is a mans life at stake...as for the other stuff...umm, it only makes sense to do this; get mule to cover the Further slot, and try to bring in bruce hornsby to cover the ratdog slots...everything would be hippy and dippy..

[Deleted]

Phil and Friends should just play a mega 3-set show! Only GD music can truly fill in for Bobby!

Don't get me wrong, I like Mule & Hornsby, but I wouldn't drive across the state to see either, let alone half the country. Bob & furthur were my top 2 acts of the fest. I'm still gonna go. I Mean Phil & Friends, petty, and allmans still makes this the best lineup this year. But honestly, If it wasn't already planned, and my ticket wasn't already on its way I'd probably not go. Really hoping they make up for Bobbys absence with something awesome.

This is awful, awful news.

It is my official rumor that I'm starting.

Ratdog was in your top two for this fest, seriously?

[mydland89]

I might get flamed for this, but I am kind of relieved that bobby is out of action..two reasons. #1, I love bobby and all that he has done over the course of my touring days with the Grateful Dead, so his health and well being are paramount to me. #2 He plays too slow now, I really cant get into it...But like I said earlier, I love bobby so seeing him play at lockn was fine by me. Ratdog and Furthur are not even in my top five for this fest...
Phil Lesh and Friends
WSP (winwood) / SCI
Tom Petty ( never seen them so another check off on the rock n roll bucket list)
grace Potter ( She's actually ahead of Petty for me but who cares right?)
Cabinet / Trucks Tedeshi...

Honorable mention: Allman Brothers...its like almost their last show together

I'd say it was
1.Furthur
2.Petty
3.Weir & Ratdog=Phil & Friends
4.Allman Bros
5.Winwood
6.Wood Brothers
7.Willie Nelson
8.Taj Mahal
9. Hot Tuna


The rest is gravy, good acts, but weren't deciding factors.

[arlenentim]

Just went to furthur's page apparently Phil is putting together an alternate band.

[Zenfidel]

So ya
Thought ya might like to go to the show
To feel the warm thrill of confusion
That space cadet glow

I've got some bad news for you sunshine
Pink isn't well, he stayed back at the hotel

And they sent us along as a surrogate band
And we're going to find out where you fans really stand
