Friggin' awesome. TTB is like a religious experience every time! Marcus King has a bright future. Wish his set had been longer.

It was good. Short set for MKB which is about all I want. DBT started way too slow but finished the last 3-4 songs on fire. Then TTB tore it up. Jealousy is well deserved.

[smosey wales]

Speaking of DBT their 3 CD live album is outstanding, partly b/c it was recorded at three back to back shows at the Fillmore with the set lists chosen to go on the album. A great survey of their music and it's only a couple years old.

And they are releasing an old Adam's Housecat album--Hood and Cooley's start-up band.

My story as it relates to this forum:

Some of you may remember me--I am the forumite formerly known as "snyooterdynck." I joined prior to Lockn' '14 to get some basic info about the festival. Had I known I would stick around for years and develop friendships, to the point I have run into several of you at shows, I would have picked something that made me feel less idiotic to say out loud. Time will tell of course, but I feel "moose" will rectify that problem.

The reason I left the forum was that I started to get concerned that I was spending way too much money on shows and traveling to shows. Let's face it, if there is a great show happening somewhere, this forum will cover it. I felt that constantly reading other forumite's plans to attend any given show was influencing me to spend more than necessary, and that making a clean break would help me make better financial decisions.

However, after booking multiple 3-night Widespread Panic runs (plus hotel) as well as multiple nights of Phish (including Toronto) (plus hotel) and Dead & Company (plus hotel), I realized maybe this forum isn't to blame. It's gonna happen either way, so I may as well associate myself with like-minded people.

Distance traveling to Lockn': 175 miles

My thoughts on the 2019 Line-up:

Personally I think the line-up as a whole is pretty underwhelming. I can't justify spending what they are asking to attend the entire festival, but Friday is looking good enough to make the trip for if and when they sell single day tickets. Which means if I can get my tired old arse out of bed early enough, I should be there on time for the meet & greet.

Most excited for (Friday): TAB with Derek

If I could add one artist to Lockn' it would be: The Claypool Lennon Delirium

Prior festival experience: every Lockn' since L2, High Sierra, Wanee, Hulaween, Delfest

Last concert attended: Spafford

Welcome back Moose. We've been waiting for you. Glad that you found out that we were not the root of your music addiction. Al least you are in good company here. See you at the M&G...
