I'm as upset as most, but I'm trying to find the positive here. Last year Lockn' replaced Neil with Trey. It wasn't an even trade, but it was still a very solid replacement on only a few weeks notice. My hope is that we will see similar action taken this year.
Suggestions?
I've already seen two excellent suggestions:
1. Jack White
The man is on a rampage this summer. While his sound might not fit the mold, I can assure you that he will put on an outstanding show. It just so happens he will be on tour in the area and is completely free all weekend.
2. My Morning Jacket
Arguably the perfect replacement. They can easily do two sets and there is no drop-off in "caliber". Personally, I'd flip right out if we got Jacket. However, they aren't currently touring (although I imagine they are the kind of band that could still put on an amazing show without much rehearsal).

Think about the fan demographic for this fest, since it is mostly made up of "classic" big name musicians. The fans want more GD music, give them more sets of PLF

If I could have 1 artist play Lockn' this year it'd be Neil Young

-Eric Clapton
-David Gilmour
-Elton John
-My Morning Jacket
-Moe.
-DMB (An album "experience" such as Before These Crowded Streets would be cool)
-CSN/CSNY
-Paul Simon or Simon & Garfunkel
-John Fogerty
Plese NO:
-More SCI (OK band, and 2 sets is enough)
-More WSP (same reason)
-Trey Band
-Phish
-Jack White
Phish is more of a rather not, I like them a little more than SCI, but they're not a band I listen to often, if ever anymore. Granted I listen to VERY few living artists, so it's tough. Aside from the absence of Neil Young, the original 2014 lockn lineup is my the best I could imagine.

Crosby, Stills, and Nash is an excellent suggestion.
Steely Dan? No thanks.
Jack White might not be a "legend" yet, but I think he's pretty damn close. However, as I acknowledged, he doesn't fit the demographic as well as other options.
I'm not adverse to more Phil, but I'd like to see them get a little more creative than that. There is now a good chunk of money on the sidelines and I would like to see them spend it.

Umph could double up on Thursday no problem. Warren is there all weekend so a second ABB set, Warren n friends superjam. Chris Robinson double up. Adding a new band would be rough at this point but I'm sure they are working hard on shifting and replacing.
