bradm Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Béla Fleck & the Original Flecktones I've seen listings like this, with an "Original" qualifier in front of "Flecktones." It looks like this tour has Howard Levy in the band. Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hartamophone Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 That lineup is as awesome as it is predictable, although it's nice to see some young blood (Mumford, Old Crow, Punch Brothers, etc.) in there with the old guard. Would love to see the Avett Brothers and Greensky Bluegrass added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schwa. Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 that's not the issue. Tottenham is and hour and 20 minutes from my house and will be attended by dozens of close friends and doesn't require spending 400$ on a plane ticket. I'd love to visit my friends out in CO but it ain't happening that weekend.I'm also having my rubber arm twisted to attend Del Fest out in Maryland this Memorial Day Weekend as well. So I'll be seeing, essentially, the same lineup as Telluride if I attend Del Fest. Epic'd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schwa. Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 telluride's fest is awesome! i might check out how tottenham stacks up this year Lineup wise, they don't. Hands down the roster at Telluride is better. no contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phorbesie Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 yeah i don't know any of the artists listed in the Tottenham thread...however it would still be fun - as you mentioned, price, proximity, friends!Telly is pretty hard to get to, but awesome once you do. the town is just taken over by the fest. definitely something to check out at least once!

Blurry Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 (edited) Telluride line-up = HOLY FUCK!Sarah McLachlan is a weird choice.....but they seem to have a couple of headscratchers each year.edit to add: how far is it from your place Karin?

Esau. Posted March 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 that's not the issue.I'm not sure if that part was in reference to my reply, if it wasn't, my apology's. That issue was referring to me. I would love to attend Telluride again. But financially I just wouldn't be able afford it. Plain and simple. Tottenham's line up may not be on par with Telluride's, but I know it's still a solid line up (as I know you know) and will without a doubt be a blast. No regrets.

There's a great little camp area up a 2 track fire road just south of telluride that james and I camped at last year called alta lakes. you camp up at 2 little alpine lakes (ponds, really) at about 11000' Here's a pic we took from that spot there last summer.

Yeah I was quoting you cause I agreed with everything you said (minus my lack of knowledge about the potential predictability, which by the way sounds like some damn fine staples).And Karin, that picture is breathtaking.
