Vibes to Joni... http://www.cbc.ca/m/news/arts/joni-mitchell-legendary-canadian-singer-suffered-minor-medical-emergency-says-friend-1.3017332

Damn. I really wanted to see these guys this summer but all the closet dates are right around Chicago so I highly doubt it is in the cards for me. Edit to add I have been reading Keith Richard's "Life" memoirs...really informative and entertaining read and window into who he is.

Voted. Three times for good measure in fact. Lots of love for Chatham (despite the questionable people it has churned up over the years)

Anyone else going? Tickets went onsale yesterday. Tedeschi Trucks along with Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings are also playing Art Park Tues. August 4th

Ha. I used to watch this religiously...I'd check it out for old times sake

Awesome guys! pretty sure he's there for all shows so you may still get your chance for a TimmyB sighting

TimmyB was there! Hopefully he will come around these parts and share with us some of his as always meticulous and informative documentation. Wish I could have been there! Love and light to Phil!

Nice!

Neal Casal interview...nice read. http://www.jambands.com/features/2015/03/09/neal-casal-the-crb-will-set-you-free/?1

Oh man. That's great to hear! I'm still in the dark being all perfectly zen patient like of course. Curious do you happen to know what their batch # was? From what I can piece together it seems the alleged bounce back emails are going up thru the batch numbers sequentially as well

Robert Hunter Interview in Rolling Stone: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/features/robert-hunter-on-grateful-deads-early-days-wild-tours-sacred-songs-20150309 By the way, while I am ecstatic to be "in the building" for all three nights, its hard not to be overly fixated on this thing given I am still in limbo. No email, no rejection letter, no official update. Some "bounced back" winning emails are still trickling out. Rejection letters still seem to be slowly trickling out. But it appears there are still quite a few still sitting here in limbo. Coming up two months since I sent those money orders off....Regardless I am STOKED to be a part of this whole ordeal, warts and all.

So happy to hear that WSP is coming back. Was choked about the shortened show...crazy storm swooping in just as things were heating up. Count me in!

Ha. Nice to see this thread dug up. Cheers to patchoulia. LOVE Neil Diamond and still yet to see him. Enjoy!

Was introduced to Rhiannon Giddens recently. Liked.

Too bad it's not an all day event. Could be some interesting shows popping up in the area over the course of the weekend?

So is this a show that would run for a few hours? Quite the lineup

Ha! Holy feck!

Hmmm interesting. Can't really envision what this will sound like.

Behind the stage would be a pretty tough sell for me too but you will still be amidst all of that energy both inside the stadium proper and all that will be spilling out of it and swirling around Chicago that weekend. I don't judge those who decided to go for it given the circumstances. I sure do hope they put a screen up for y'all

I have faith it will still shake out just fine for a great many. I think there's more to come. Call me naive but I have faith there are some good reasons behind gdstoo's silence. If that ends up being the case there should be a positive ripple effect
