[loopstick]

Robert Plant AND Greta Van Zeppelin.

Bubbe & mama always said: Ya got nuthin' nice to say, say nuthin'. Thus, mum's the word outta me re: this event's 'card'.

 

[peerson]

I never heard of most of those. There are a few that I would like to see. Are you going?

 

[Beatnik]

Is that the "Don't Get Mad, Get Even" Victory ?

 

[KeninDC]

My kids have seen most of the hip-hop stars (Chance, Common...). Plant and his Shapeshifters only get applause when they sing old Zep tunes.

Does David Crosby have any friends?

I'd like to see 3 of the acts. I'd go see an additional 4 or 5. Festival line-ups almost never excite me (unless it's Levitation or Desert Daze).

 

[noogies]

I'd like to see Dead & Co. There are another half dozen or so that might pique my curiosity but probably not enough to endure the whole 2019 rock festival reboot thing.

The annual Wacken Festival in Deutschland, now entering its 29th year and to which I have been 2x (but have "recordings" from ~10-12), is usually darned good. But it's Metal, so no "hopstars" 'n' such. The '97 show was killer...Thrash and Gore galore.

Seen 'em twice. First show was high-energy with an excellent Scar>Fire. Second show started off well and then Bob Weir, as he is known to do, slowed things down and cratered the show. It never recovered.

Good to know. Too bad you can't tell which show you have tickets to ahead of time.

To quote Dr. Hunter S. Thompson, "buy the ticket, take the ride."

I enjoyed the heck out of the people at the DeadCo shows. Spent lots of time during the set break swapping stories. Except for the barfing dude who passed out next to us. Mayer really "gets" the Dead vibe. Fun and talented guitarist. Definitely worth checking out in spite of the ever present Bob Weir risk.

I watched a documentary on Wacken just last weekend. Very cool to see and hear knowing I'll never make it. I'm jealous. (It's on Tubi tv)

Precisely - since I was more a fan of Jerry and the Band rather than Johnny B.Good Weir and friends, I have not paid to see them live since Jerry left us ...

I thought Thumper said that in the movie, Bambi .



guess I should live by that creed.

 

[jbrainey]

I won't be attending(though I would love to but too far to drive) but I plan to claim I did any time the subject comes up.

This is my thinking exactly -- I love Mayer's playing and I'm a Deadhead since I was a kid, so how can you go wrong putting them together? Well, yes ... the Weir Factor.

I know, I know -- John Mayer is an admirable player, but Jerry Garcia? There is no substitute!

I just realize your avatar is BBT (slingblade) “Karl”

Fantastic acting job he did in that role, really an amazing work, directed it too. I’ve not watched it in years, have seen it many times. Great movie.

 

[BigElCat]

Mmm.

 

[slow_jazz]

I must be getting old.

I hardly know any of them.

Wonder how much a bottle of water sells for this go ...
