Yonder Wed Night Questions

[ok01]

Show starts at 9pm...just curious for those who have been, how late does this go?

Worth going?  Our group is probably doing a nightgrass Thur and Fri, trying to decide if I should buy these or if we should rest up.

Opening YMSB show sold out...

[ok01]

Easy enough, someone can go ahead and remove this one. 

[meanderingjeeper]

It's always a good time.  doesnt run as late as the other nightgrass shows.  the room gets pretty hot in there but there is (sometimes) room near the back/the doors that is cooler.  

the ride down on the gondola is quite.....the experience.

[spewlanders]

We've gone every year that we've been at the festival and I'd definitely say go.  In fact, just bought our tickets a few minutes ago.  Of course its not nearly as intimate as the Sheridan shows but it usually has a great energy..... large crowd, people and band amped to start festivating.  We're bring our 11 month old to her first TBF so this will be the only nightgrass we see but we'd be going anyway.
I don't recall exactly when it has finished in the past but, in time for everyone to file out and have plenty of time to make the last Gondola.

Is this a standard two set Yonder show?

[shelovestoyonder]

Yes, it's a standard 2-set show.  It will run until 12 or 12:30.  They've got some of the fanciest bathrooms that you'll ever come across on Yonder tour.

Our crew might have a few extras if you want to go, ok01....

Yep, standard 2 set Yonder show.  We're bringing our 5 day old to his 3rd concert experience.

[Zoeonelove]

Remember about 6 years ago when Drew Emmitt played the whole second set?? That was pretty amazing - one could only hope that would happen again!!

[sarajomo]

This show is usually one of my favorite parts of the festival!  Gondola rides, special guest appearances, and just a wonderful way to kick off the festie!

[FolkJunkie04]

Missed the boat  anyone have extras?

[Hot Sugar]

There are always extras to this show floating around. Ask around camp when you get to town or just head over on the free gondola and someone will be selling extras. The first year I went, my brother bought my ticket as the final repayment for his four day pass that I paid for the year before. It was him, his girlfriend and me. When we got to the door, they only had two tickets under his name, so he bought a third from someone out front, It wasn't until after the show that night that we realized his girlfriend's ticket was under her name.

That was hands down the best Yonder show I've ever seen, too. 2009 Telluride Conference Center.

A good friend of theirs passed away a few weeks before the show, so the dedicated it to him. The energy and love behind every song and solo that night brought tears to my eyes. It was absolutely beautiful.

[shelovestoyonder]

That 2009 was amazing, for sure!
