re: Official Lockn' Music Phestival Thread: Phestival of the Year

CP laughs at all these alter accusations

Eddie is cool, just like you think he'd be by his MB tier 1 status

So lockn recap real quick - btw is definitely the best fest out there.

Thursday - long drive in and getting set up. Made it for some of the Revivalists, as much as I hate their songs and their singer who thinks he is Mick Jagger, the band is very talented. Then got a good view for the Wood Brothers who were phenomenal and then again for Lettuce - who probably played the best sets of the night. Both of the Umph set were really awesome actually. Cheese was good but not great that day I thought, Kool and the Gant thing or whatever was also pretty good but nothing too wile.

Friday - Grateful Grass was a great way to start the morning, the stage is right by most f the camping areas. Tauk was awesome early in the day, Cabinet was OK - but finally had a MBGT on the grass in front of the stage. Cheese was great on friday. The locknstep Allstars were one of the best sets of the weekend. The second Cheese set was another one of the top 5 or so of the weekend. P&F started off a little slow but after the Other One it finished real hot

Saturday - Another Grateful Grass set @ 11:00 to kick things off the right way. Made it in for Gary Clark Jr. and Tedeschi Trucks in the afternoon. It was boiling hot but both put on a great show. Wilco wasn't terrible. P&F were in the midst of an awesome set that got cut short a few minutes for a rain delay. After running around I made it back in for the Panic w/ Winwood thing which I enjoyed. We were all pretty worn out by the time Tom Petty so I just sat on the grass in the back. Briefly went by BIYH but nobody wanted to stay there and I only saw a couple songs.

Sunday started with Grateful Gospel at the small stage, which was one of the more enjoyable sets of the weekend. Grace Potter was awesome. Willie Nelson looked drunk and old and I had never seen him so it was cool. Wilco came on again and we moved up and sat down in front of the stage for panic (I was with a huge panic crew the whole weekend). WSP was good, but I just can't get into it. I was on the second row and did a little rocking out but after a while I moved towards the back and just chilled out resting my feet for ABB. ABB was definitely one of the best sets of the weekend and a great way to close out the festival.

All in all top peformances:

1) ABB
2) Locknstep Allstars
3) Phil & Friends (I'm going to combo the two into one because one got cut short and it may have ended up being the best of the weekend
4) SCI - Friday
5) Grateful Gospel

- honorable mentions Grace Potter, Panic w/ Winwood, Wood Brothers, Lettuce, Grateful Grass (x2) Tedeschi Trucks, Lettuce

I'm tired now, hoping some sleep may help clear up the post lockn blues but they are starting to settle in hard.

How was Phil Leah and friends? Did Schofield slay?

First phil and friends set was pretty slow like eddie said…Second was interrupted by an hour long rain shower before panic.


My highlights:

ABB
Wilco (never seen them and was impressed)
Grace Potter (got goosebumps from the farmer tribute and her voice is unmatched by anyone)
String cheese and the gang (awesome dance party)
panic w/ winwood


Wood bros/Gary Clark/Tauk/Lettuce all were awesome as well

P&L was great. First set just started with a lot of slow spacy jam stuff, but once it got going maybe my favorite portion.

The Other one, Dear Mr Fantasy, Friend of the Devil, Shakedown, Box of Rain, Franklins, Sunshine of Your Love, Box of Rain. Lovelight Encore
