A word to the wise: it can be freakin blazing hot out there and the camp ground has ONE tree that I remember. If you are not one of the first 10 cars into the lot, you will have no shade at all. So be prepared with your gear.

Pardon my cynicism but I fear the Furthur part of this festival could end up as Phil and Friends and Bob and Friends; just another opportunity for overcrowded jams with even more simultaneous guitars and more mediocre vocal performances on songs better sung by JK.

I know quite a few heads on the west coast taking a pass on this one ... all waiting for 2-3 dayers at venues like the Greeks , Shoreline , Irvine Meadows and my personal favorite Ventura County Fairgrounds and most of them and myself are not interested in any opening bands , gives us the meat and save the potatoes , solo Hunter would work though :)... anyone know if Cal Expo is still there in Sac , for some reason I think I heard the place was taken down ???

You nailed it. I debated going but after what i experienced on Phil's birthday, I am not comforable with special guests. Call me old fashion, but one lead, one rythm, and one bass, does the trick. It's a shame to say it but I don't trust Phil one bit....

Your kickin' yourself in the ass for going to that Phil birthday bust just like I kicked myself in the ass for trading the DSO Fillmore shows for the Furthur Fox shows , shame on me ... I think you would have also prefered the DSO Fillmore shows over that Fox debauchery ... live and learn , Brother !!!

per furthur.net:

"What's the concert schedule?

Furthur will headline Saturday and Sunday nights, and there will be other stages, activities, and artists on both days. Friday evening will feature a very special Furthur Open Aire Sound check and a late-night all-star jam. "

I am hoping all the guest will get their time on stage with furthur on friday night

Best post of the week !!! :cheers::dsorocks:

( your not going to see them at the Mann Center shows ???)

....I'll probably go to dance and see some friends. I live literally five minutes from the mann so it'd be crazy not to, though i've passed up ratdog shows there in the past.

who hasn't?

its ratdog...

Yep - I didn't bother going on .org to them how I and a couple of buddies left early from their last show here. I honestly don't know the last time I've done that (either posted on .org or left a show early).

So it's unanimous , passing up on or leaving a Rat Dog show early isn't the worst thing in the world and sometimes it's the best thing to do ... ;)
