more dead and co stuff:
LOCKN' festival at Arrington, Va, blue ridge mountains, lovely place. weather couldn't have been better.
a great 4 days of music, for sure.
http://www.locknfestival.com/schedule we saw dead and co Sat PM sets, pic and set list below. missed the sunday pm sets re: long drive back.
seemed almost like a dead "greatest hits" set, if there is such a thing.
Bob's voice ain't what it used to be, but he "fared well", seems to have hit his stride on the tour.
John M also seems comfortable with the material. No lyric sheets. he took alot of chances with his lead work , explored a bit. He nailed the diminished runs on "slipknot!" with more prowess than Jerry had since early to mid 70's.
They remain inspired and certainly seemed to be enjoying themselves. the graphics screens behind the band were well done, trippy and entertaining. equally impressive was the size of the crowd. I haven't seen numbers from the festival yet, but the place was jammed Saturday night for sure.

One More Saturday Night
here's a pic of umphrey's mcgee stage, their light show is very impressive.
so is their musical performance. Thurs pm sets were scorching/high energy.
Fri PM they teamed up with Jason Bonham and the 2nd half of their set was all Led Zep, notable for Song Remains the Same, and the closer: Whole lotta Love. Derek Trucks jammed on that one as well, used the slide very effectively!
Jake C was sporting a new red Legacy. He usually uses s500's and comanches with stock MFD's. I couldn't tell if his p'ups were subbed. If you haven't seen them live, just do it. They come around often. cheers, John O
