Just getting home from night 1 of Dead and Company in Albany. What a great time. We were pretty much on the rail. Mayer was much better than I had imagined he would fit. The first set, Bobby was directing everyone. Hand gestures, head nods, walking over and talking to Mayer, exaggerated playing so the others knew what he was doing. First set was good. The place was packed and was sure someone was going to die in the tiny smoking area for 15k Deadheads. The band came out of intermission as a new band. Tight, loose, jammy, structured, all just gelling with each other. No more Bobby as sole leader, they came out and just played. Mayer, Otiel and Chimenti all took turns leading parts of songs and it was awesome. I was pretty blown away by the second set. Two biggest negatives: 1.) Chimenti was way too low in the mix for most of the show. Same could be said for Otiel. 2.) Mayer lip syncing all his guitar parts. I have no idea why but this drove me crazy. Mayer is not Trey and that can be a good thing. Mayer put his own spin on a lot of the soloing but also stayed closer to 'traditional" Dead than some of his past covers of Dead tunes. It was a good performance and a great show. The crowd was hyped. I'm hitting Philly next week and Buffalo the week after that and am super excited to see where this goes as just in the first night they showed a transformation from some guys playing Dead tunes with the core three to the new faces of the Dead.

Slim.....not none. Doesn't fit the Hangout type headliner but if they are in a festival mood and hit up a bunch of Goldenvoice fests it could be possible, especially being more palatable for the counsel with Mayer.

Who would yall rather have on the beach metallica or pearl jam since yall ruled me out on black sabbath?!
I'm going to have to go with Metallica. That's a tough choice but I have always had more interest in them and feel they are a very marginally rarer act. They're also slightly more out of the HOF scope than Pearl Jam.
saw the Revivalists last night and they killed it as always. They brought out the opening band and did a 12 piece cover of 'kiss' by Prince and since the Revivalists have played Hangout before that can only mean one thing.
Metallica - Kendrick Lamar - Florence & the Machine Disclosure - Twenty One Pilots - Lorde - Tame Impala STS9 - Big Grams - Nathaniel Ratliff - Salt n' Pepa Walk The Moon - Gary Clark Jr - Courtney Barnett - Zedd

Lol we had a running joke at ACL that gcj would show up at every set to do a guest spot. I think he came out on 3 shows we saw
Thank you Vols and Miami for an entertaining evening of football. Next week looks to be equally entertaining for LSU and BAMA fans.
On to Hangout fest....Vintage Trouble and Sam Smith were scheduled for this year and did not show. Think either of them will wind up on next year's lineup? For me Vintage Trouble is a thumbs up and Sam Smith will be one of those acts that someone in my group will love, likely young female, and the rest of us will just drink beers and enjoy the girls on the beach. I heard from friends who went to Voodoo that Florence was a good show and would be a hit on the Hangout lineup. I need to look for the show on youtube this afternoon..supposed to be posted. I'd say odds are good of Florence and another Jason Isbell performance too. I still think Sturgill Simpson is a strong candidate. Here are my odds on the most recent mock. Other than Florence, Disclosure, Pilots, STS9, Impala, Clark Jr, WTM, and Courtney...I'd say the remaining acts are not so likely. Basis of estimate? Played before or nearby, seem to be positive support across thread. I see one of these proposed headliners replaced with a more classic type aka Petty, DMB, Stevie, Paul Simon...Pearl Jam!!!

Swag given they played at Hangout, played in the region, what folks on here have said, Wouldn't put money on the numbers and would be interested in someone who could give a better estimate or basis thereof. The odds are for "likely" and not anything else and I was bored...nobody posted jack for almost a whole day...LOL!

its the weekend. this thread dies on friday and is born again every monday.
ive been checking these guys out lately. the singer reminds me of the national.
Just saw photos of the Voodoo grounds...feel for folks who were attending. Looks like a swamp. I think they closed it down today due to weather.
They posted refund information for Sunday ticket holders. They have secured lockers. Any items not claimed by Nov 5th will be donated. Pick locker stuff up at 5022 Bienville St., NOLA Monday thru Wednesday 12-5 pm.

Saw Gary Clark Jr. last night and I know i dont need to tell everyone how great he is. But Black Pistol Fire opened for him as I was pretty impressed. The guitarist has some serious skills, i hope we can see them on the under card for an early set at the restaurant stage.
What you proposed Krisp...with a couple of my "really like to sees".
metallica . coldplay. gorillaz . pearl jam disclosure. steely dan. alabama shakes. tame impala. robert plant and the space shifters. j cole . cage the elephant . sturgil simpson, tedeschi-trucks band. elvis costello big grams. avril lavigne. dr john & the night trippers. awolnation. courtney barnett.
jamell richardson, leon bridges.
Pre-party headliner...The Doobie Brothers!!!! with Tenacious D!!!!
Saw AWOL at Emo's East and the show was kind of lacking energy, but the more I go to Emo's, the more I think the sound in that place just isn't great ornits a challenge for sound techs to manage. Same happened with TVontheRadio. Id see Awol again if left uncontended.
On the other hand, I folks like Bloc Party, Mowglis and Grouplove there and they rocked the fuckn place so ya never know.

Venue and acoustics/sound management makes a huge difference. When I watched John Fogerty at the Ryman, I thought they were gonna blow the roof off. Tedeschi-Trucks at Tivoli in Chattanooga was decent, but we were sitting on like the second row. Hangout does a pretty good job and seems to have fixed the problem on the Chevy-Surf stage. Waaay too many issues at last pre-party. Sometimes you hear someone in a bar or even a small venue and they were awesome, put them on a beach stage and you are like..."what did they say". Seems like the bands that do well at Hangout rely less on lyrics and more on a "dance to it - funky - happy" sound that is plenty loud or some classic or pop group where you know the words so you can sing em if you cant hear em. Bonnaroo seems to do sound well and they should given the bucks, but standing in the back of a headliner show aint so much about the sound quality but the atmosphere and percent herb/air quality.
She was billed 16th in 2013 so would make sense to bring her back in the top 6-10 range. Came across Years and Years recently and really like their album, put them on a few mocks too so hope they come through.
some early potential acts are looking decent for teh undercard so far with this, Moon Taxi, Leon Bridges
Might be in the minority here but I'll gladly take some Ellie. I figured we'd probably get her or Lana and Ellie's shows have way more energy. Depends on the scheduling obviously, but barring conflicts I'll be at that show.
