From David Crosby's twitter: "I have already reached out to Jason Isbell ....we are going to do a couple of tunes together at Newport I believe Love them doing Ohio ....a song for our times"
Woah...
I guess I'm not missing that set! (not that I was planning to)

Yea, really digging this. I need to get a ticket for that Glorietta late night. I like pretty much everything Vasquez has done and this is no different.
I see why Crosby is interested in doing this. Isbell sounds pretty close to Young on his cover. If this is happening it'll be special. Nice to see folk family bring friends round.
Short answer: No, although all sides seem to agree that they wouldn't rule it out. It just seems to be a, "who will blink first" type of situation.
An interesting part of this article is Neil saying that he wants to play with Promise of the Real again. Maybe Jay got Crosby and Young both on board and is just going to sit back and see if any magic will happen without any sort of agreement set in stone. Jay could be the mediator they're looking for.
Upcoming Shows: August 7: Green Day/Smashing Pumpkins/Rancid/The Linda Lindas August 30: Waxahatchee/Snail Mail/Tim Heidecker September 17: Pearl Jam/Glen Hansard September 24: Idles/English Teacher

While we're on the subject of CSNY, Woodstock '19 would be smart to get Jay in on the booking process

The closer we get to those Neil Young Boston shows with no NFF annoucements, the more I think he is our Saturday headliner (radius clause and all).
Conor Oberst just announced a run of Cali shows with the Mystic Valley Band in October. Doesn't mean much but wasn't he playing with them around when MoF happened?
Do we really want to see Woodstock 2019? I remember being a tad young to attend with friends, but reading the Village Voice my dad brought home each week and remarking what a great concert! And my mom, dubious, still deaf from taking me to see Ten Years After, remarking this looks like something bigger than that.
Sure, those were heady years of great music and free form radio; guerrilla theater and experimental literary forms; and countless freedoms I was too young or too shy to enjoy. It was also the time when setting your guitar on fire wasn't just a crowd pleaser (it was that, too) -- but (perhaps subconsciously) art reflecting the violence and upheaval of the times -- from rice paddies a world away, to Selma, Watts, the Lorraine Hotel in Memphis, and the Ambassador Hotel in L.A. And it would get worse.
Arguably, times are just as bad today. And I guess Woodstock could embrace that. But it won't. It will be a commercial venture that stains the memory of something organic that probably had no business happening. It doesn't mean we can't make Woodstock a tool of empowerment, but why not just celebrate it at the places that matter today, where we gather today...among them Newport Folk.
Woodstock is a memory we hold in our hearts. Newport lives on. I think Roger Waters said it best: "It's (Newport) an important lineage. And people of my generation cannot take it lightly."
Feh Woodstock and the vendors selling fancy peace necklaces. It's here where 1969 and 2019 begins.

Not gonna go too deep into it on this thread but I largely agree with you. It's not something that really needs to or should happen.
But it's also almost definitely going to happen, so I'm going to be happier accepting that as the reality and then anticipating all the potential in it. Who knows how it'll turn out, both in terms of lineup and organization, but if they do it right it should be the music event of the year.
If anyone is a fan of Hamilton Leithauser, Deer Tick sent him a Instagram message yesterday asking him to come hang out at their after parties, and he responded with "Count me in." He got up and played This Wheels on Fire with DT last time he played Newport, and it was pretty awesome.
