Preliminary 2012 lineup

[LeeDouglas]

OK, just thought about it and realized there is a 1 in a million chances the stars might align for those of us craving even a small morsel (not to say having Bruce isn't anything out of alignment), but perhaps arrangments are being worked out for something such as:

Bob Weir and Bruce Hornsby have added a second date together. The pair will now perform two shows at the Fox Theater in Oakland, CA, taking place on March 31 and April 1. Bob Weir and Bruce Hornsby have logged some time on the road together in the past, first in the Grateful Dead from 1990-92 and later in the Other Ones from 1998 and 2000. At the upcoming shows, the old friends will share a bill as well some on-stage moments. The evenings at the Fox Theater are titled “Bob Weir & Bruce Hornsby Alone and Together.” Tickets for first night are sold out, while tickets for the newly announced show will soon be available through GDTSTOO. Presale begins on January 12 at 10AM with the general on sale set for January 13 at 10AM.

Released on Monday, Hornsby and Weir will also both be at ABB's Wanee Festival in Live Oak, Florida--April 19-21.

 Listening to: Samson and Delilah

Nothing would make me more grateful than to have Mr. Weir at the fest.

I honestly don't think there would be too many ticketless traveling types if they booked Furthur, just because Telluride is so hard to get to, unless it was part of a bigger tour.

Furthur might be too much to ask for, but I would love to see them or bobby there!

Maybe the TBF will be the opportune occasion for Weir to offer up the long anticipated "musical" with respect to Satchel Paige.

(it doesn't hurt to dream; the dreams are lies, but the dreaming is real)

 

[Furnal]

Steve Martin and the Steep Cayon Rangers just posted a short tour. Which ends on the 21st of June, I am guessing a "quick" stop in Telluride is not out of the question.

Hey planning to check out some John Prine before the show. Haven't listened him before, but I hear good things. He has lots of albums though. Any suggestions on favorite John Prine albums?

The self-titled is classic, as are Sweet Revenge and Diamonds in the Rough, in terms of the early stuff. Prime Prine, a 'hits' album, contains mostly stuff from these three albums.

Bruised Orange is great.

The Missing Years is later and also great.

His Great Days anthology is a solid cross-section but appears to be out of print.

I'd start at the beginning, though. I grew up on the self-titled and it's still one of my very favorite albums; he's wry and thoughtful and, in my opinion, at his best there.

All very good I second that!

Hey Zack, thanks for the info. I ordered the first album from 1971. That was a good year, so that sounds like a good place to start. I also ordered the new one so it should be interesting to hear the difference.

I'll bet a dollar that Elephant Revival turns out on the schedule. I sure hope so.

[ShatteredArm]

I'll bet a dollar that Elephant Revival turns out on the schedule. I sure hope so.

I just saw them on Saturday, and it was a thoroughly enjoyable time.  And only $14 (with fees) for a full two-set show.

I'd love to see them again.

Saw them 2 Saturdays ago and they were great.  I do think it would be interesting to see them on a big stage.  The Carolina Chocolate Drops are one of my favorites but I think those folks towards the back of the lawn didn't get to fully appreciate their set at TBF a couple years ago.  I believe that ER would be OK on the big stage and I hope I get to find out for sure in June.

I've heard a lot about Elephant Revival and they seem to be a band on the rise (if not already there). They play Boulder often and every time I think I'm gonna finally go see them I listen to their studio stuff online and I find it to be pretty mellow (which is fine, but when I go to a live show I want music that gets the feet moving). 

Does Elephant Revival bring some heat to their live shows which is not reflected in a lot of their studio stuff?

thanks! 

[Sunnyand70]

They totally bring it live. Saw them in a club the other night and they had everyone up on their feet.

Thanks, Sunny! I will check them out.

Hey, RFH; any word on the Elephant Revival reconnaissance at the Sheridan? Caught the Dusters last weekend, but didn't get a chance to ask anyone about the rumor mill... It seems less likely for ER now that they're on the Folks lineup, no?

Billy, ER isn't like their album live, but it's not totally off either. Depends on the venue and "friends". First time i saw them up at First Street a couple of years ago, i was absolutely mesmerized. Since then, I've watched them everywhere from the Gold Hill Inn, to The Niwot Market, to the Fox. When they jam with pals, it gets going. Maybe not every song, but you will get up out of your seat! But their stage presence and full sound is awesome regardless of energy level - It aint Trampled, but you gotta check them out! Would be curious on the big stage, but IMO they are best in an intimate environment. Humble folks.

Finally saw Blind Pilot last night, and it was kind of similar as far as being a mellower show, but Damn they can play! I have to agree with someone earlier who said that regardless of how you feel about a Portland indie band, those guys have the talent to be on T-ride main stage soon (although I'd rather see them at the Sheridan). So much instrumentation going on, but give her a few more banjo features and they fit right in.

Anyone still holding out hope for Yo Yo Ma? I'm gonna go check out the "concert movie" tonight in case it's my only chance at a goat rodeo. I'll be the guy in the middle mixing fountain soda whisky's!
