It's not the songs so much as how it all goes down.

Exactly.

I'd rather not know anything about them until after Chicago. I'll hold myself responsible for not opening threads that will contain obvious spoilers, but if you see me out-and-about please don't start a conversation with "How about that amazing Dark Star>Gamehenge>25 Or 6 To 4" or anything, 'kay? Also, if y'all could keep the thread titles a little vague, well, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Great, thanks!!! I'll see you at the fest tonight or tomorrow and we can discuss this in person?

This is a long-shot but if anyone has a pass (or two) I could borrow for June 30th I'd really appreciate it.

I got an email from Ticketbastard on Friday saying my tix have been printed.

See you there.

Thanks once more to Bluesfest for giving me the opportunity to see this guy play live. His show in the War Museum was fantastic.

The last show was really, really great. Maybe the best Essoudry show I've seen at Mugshots.

I wish instead of "Two Sets" it read "Stopping In The Middle".

Nerd!

I always liked what I've heard from Julian.

Perhaps he's busy maintaining his integrity?

Sons of The Beatles to form band, will be called 'The Shoots' June 3, 2015 Here comes the Son – sons of the four Beatles to form own band called “The Shoots” It’s been prophesized ever since they were born – that the sons of The Beatles stars would follow in their father’s footsteps and form their own band – and today, that prophecy came true. In a London radio interview this morning, James McCartney, the son of Paul McCartney, confirmed circulating rumours that he, Sean Lennon, Dhani Harrison and Zak Starkey are forming a band, carrying on their superstar fathers’ musical legacy. This is what he had to say to Radio host Hugh Myrone Gaines: - This is something that we’ve been talking about ever since we we’re little boys getting together at Christmas and suchlike. Our whole lives we’ve tried to distance ourselves from our fathers somewhat, but there’s no escaping that we’re all passionate about making and performing music. We’re starting a band both as an homage to our fathers and because it seems like the only logical thing to do in an illogical world. The boys and I are looking forward to a Tour in 2016 where we showcase our news music. I will admit that we are terribly nervous, especially Dhani, I mean, we can never live up to what our fathers created, but we will do our best. James also revealed the name of the band and explained the thinking behind it, - We’re going with “The Shoots”, it follows along the “The X” formula and the thinking behind the shoots part is an allusion to plant shoots, you know, a new germinating beginning, a new plant growing, because that’s what we feel this is. We hope that it will be approved by the fans, we really spent a lot of time thinking up that name and I would be so downcast if people hated it As for the upcoming music, James explained: - Of course, we’re influenced by our fathers’ music – that’s unavoidable, and we have tried to emulate the rock-pop of the 1960’s, but we’ve also induced some modern influences, digital stuff that I think blends really well with the classic rock All four sons are already musicians and have obviously inherited talent from their fathers, so working together should not be too much of a stretch for the Beatle-bairns. The touring will begin in April 2016 and The Beatles fans are already exalted. We found a few reactions on Twitter: @Beatlemania “OMG, THEY’RE BACK, LET IT BE LET IT BE, SO EXCITED #TheShoots" @Jane96 "Who'd a knew that the 10's would be the new 60's, so excited!!! #TheShoots" @JonLever "I hope to God they'll pull this off, amazing, go boys #TheShoots Whether you're a The Beatles fan or not, you must admit that this is terribly exciting. To discuss these Liverpool-lad news, tweet under #TheShoots

At Frontier Ghost Town August 7-8. https://www.facebook.com/events/671330042997828/ Does anyone here know anything about this? (looking forward to the inevitable DaveyBoy GIF)

I'm really excited that this is at Lansdowne. Great lineup. They should get these guys to book Bluesfest!

Thanks a lot for posting that Esau. I really enjoyed it. The stuff at 24:00 where he says he doesn't care if anyone remembers his work and would rather take it all with him when he goes is really interesting. It will be a bit odd standing at the Fare Thee Well shows knowing Jerry would be quite uncomfortable with the whole thing.

Has it been noted yet that Air Supply has been added to the lineup? Saturday, July 18, on the Main Stage before Deep Purple. There's a double-bill not to be missed. BAM BAM

Let's Go Crazy was played really slow and went into Frankenstein. He started Purple Rain at the end of the song before starting it again from the beginning. It was a very guitar-heavy show.

Made it in for the second show. It was incredible. The whole room was on its feet from start to finish. Let's Go Crazy Take Me With U Raspberry Beret U Got the Look The Question of U / The One Electric Man (Muddy Waters cover) Controversy 1999 Little Red Corvette Nothing Compares 2 U Encore: Kiss When Doves Cry Sign “☮” the Times Housequake Forever in My Life Hot Thing Nasty Girl (Vanity 6 cover) Darling Nikki A Love Bizarre (Sheila E. cover) 17 Days Pop Life Mountains Love U Know I Would Die 4 U Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough (Michael Jackson cover) Cool (The Time cover) Encore 2: Diamonds and Pearls Love Me Tender (Elvis Presley cover) The Beautiful Ones Purple Rain

17:22. And I would have done better too, if it wasn't for those meddling kids! We both shaved about 50% off our best times and got to the top feeling better than ever. Two added bonuses: 1) I took the train to Toronto so I got to see the CN Tower through the window as we pulled up underneath it, and 2) We stayed at the Intercontinental and had the base of the tower right outside our window.

With these tour dates I can't see how he could squeeze it in. Looks like another swing and a miss from BF? July 5 Milwaukee, WI—Summerfest July 8 Morrison, CO—Red Rocks July 9 Morrison, CO—Red Rocks July 11 Lincoln, NE—Pinnacle Bank Arena July 13 Cincinnati, OH—Riverbend Music Center July 14 Clarkston, MI—DTE Energy Music Theater July 16 Camden, NJ—Susquehanna Bank Center July 17 Bethel, NY—Bethel Woods July 19 Essex Junction, VT—Champlain Valley Expo July 21 Wantagh, NY—Nikon at Jones Beach Theater July 22 Mansfield, MA—Xfinity Center July 24 Oro-Medonte, CAN—WayHome Music & Arts Festival

Yep. Really helps the bottom line having an 80,000 capacity and selling more than 80,000 tickets (having a pass does not guarantee entry).

I'm with ya, but what really blew me away was his right hand strumming. So clean and perfect. Just wow.
