dm3 review is awful.  accusing fans of being attracted to the clothes the band wears instead of the tunes?  LOL.

Well, that's not exactly what the review argues--"attraction to a fashion" refers to much more than clothes.

Already?  Rolleyes That feeling started on "Blue Monday".  These were very fun to read, and I would concur on most of it.  Cheers

i disagree very significantly with that whole write up.  seems like he either doesn't like the band or just doesn't get it.  dm3 invoked a big reaction from everyone inside and made fans of several people in my group.  i don't care what "fashion" the guy thinks everyone is attracted to,  i never knew what they looked like until i went to telluride.  if the "fashion" he's talking about is the music itself, then guilty as charged.

Yeah, it was definitely one of the most talked-about sets of the weekend, and a lot of people loved it.  So, you know, viva la difference!

Wow this was over discriptive and long..... LOL Music is subjective and I find the whole TBF experience to be very individual and unique to each person.

Thank you for sharing Flower

I must say, Bela and Chris are becoming to abstract for me. Their music sounds segmented to me now, Lots of short breaks and the flow is not easy for me. just me perhaps Flower

I had a great time, that's the inside skinny on the short story LOL Medal

they can definitely get way out there!  did you get to rockygrass?  Thile's set with michael daves was just incredible... taking him back to the good stuff.  sometimes the virtuosos, imo, can lose sight of their roots with their crazy experimentation.

 I love fusion, but Fusion without infusion to me is hard  to follow. Transition in Fusion for me, is key. When the B man plays with other Jazz Musicians it flows sooooo smooth but when the B man plays his solo gigs, it almost always includes this sort of Fusion without transition for me. I do indeed like and prefer his Flecktone and Bluegrass. I will also add Victor Wooten as well, I prefer his Flecktone sounds over solo. I am sorry to have missed RG. I still enjoy watching and hearing my favorite Musicians on the entire planet stretch and grow. Even if it is over my head Medal

My favorite set of RG! And they "treated" us at Academy too - really just fabulous instrumental virtuosity, with amazing brother-style harmonies, and kinda rockabilly sensibility....but equally important, applied to some of my favorite tunes!!  Clap

I agree with the reviewer in part for the opening set.

Seems to me Chris kind of took over the set. Admittedly for me, the more banjo the better.

How about next time we stick to the 'theme' of the FESTIVVVAAALLL!!! for the sake of the FESTIVARIANS. It's Telluride Bluegrass, not "Hey Thiele! What can you pull out of your ___ this time and who are you taking down with you?"

Bela did seem to take charge at the end of the set and brought it back around to a traditional sound, which was expected from the get-go. Thankful that the opener ended on a good note.
