Exactly buddy74! You nailed it completely.
I was really looking forward to Neil Young last year, but I still had a damn good time. And I guarantee that I will also have a great time this year as well.

When it was all over exactly zero f***s were given that Neil was not there. Same will be true this year.
This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.
What happens if I take both?

Any GD taper will tell you that they are going for PL&F, not Furthur and definitely not Ratdog, frankly.
agreed. like, just LOOK at that fucking lineup. of all the bands, RATDOG IS A DEAL BREAKER?! imo, if this is all it takes someone to abandon ship, good riddanceI am flabbergasted that people are actually dropping out. Unbelievable.

However, I am bummed that Steve Kimock (Ratdog guitarist) is now out of a spot, it seems. He is a real talent and flies under the radar. Before Jerry died he named Steve as one of his favorite guitarists.Any GD taper will tell you that they are going for PL&F, not Furthur and definitely not Ratdog, frankly.agreed. like, just LOOK at that fucking lineup. of all the bands, RATDOG IS A DEAL BREAKER?! imo, if this is all it takes someone to abandon ship, good riddance

After all I've learned I kind of had one of those lifetime attitude changes...sometimes you get shown the light...and I am even more excited than I was. The only unpredictable thing was would furthur make their only 2014 US show extra special? Now, will they even play, and if not, what will happen instead? It could be so huge and special and magic that we talk about 10 or 20 years from now like the Bill Graham memorial. Can't wait to see everyone there!!!

Really? I'm confused. I'm an old head with almost 300 GD Jerry shows under my belt. I am a Phil and Co AND a Ratdog fan. I did get a little Furthured out, I still really did enjoy the shows I caught. Opinions are varied and to each his/ her own.This is just crazy talk, I completely disagree with this statement.Any GD taper will tell you that they are going for PL&F, not Furthur and definitely not Ratdog, frankly.

lets be completely honest, Bobby's playing and singing have suffered greatly because of whatever reason, and I don't care what it is...He plays everything slow...go ahead and compare any bobby show or furthur show to bobby back in the 90s..you will quickly see what I mean...the difference is startling...with that said, I love bobby forever...but Phil & Friends is the real deal when it comes to jamming and music at a tempo you can dance too...Phil may not be the best singer but then again he has Warren for that..
When I heard that bobby wasn't playing it had zero effect on me...one of my friends said bobby and furthur were the only reason he wanted to go...that was sunday and Im still laughing at that one...

Mydland89's response above said it better than I could.... sorry, but maybe it's the taper community we hang with, they are uber-critical. We love Bobby for Bobby, but we are Phil Freaks for the quality of the jam.

Oh man, I'm not a taper, but I've been a huge fan since I could walk and I'd definitely say the dead related acts are Furthur>>>Ratdog>Phil & friends. Phils great, but to me it's all about the voices, and Weir's is not replaceable. I'm still going, I mean Phil, Petty, ABB, Winwood that's still the best fest lineup of 2014, but I'm super bummed. I may not have decided to take the 10 hour trip (especially since my budget is super tight) if Furthur hadn't been on the lineup, but at this point, with tix in hand and all the other great artists, I'm excited and ready to go. I also saw Bobby in June, so I did get a 2014 fix.Any GD taper will tell you that they are going for PL&F, not Furthur and definitely not Ratdog, frankly.agreed. like, just LOOK at that fucking lineup. of all the bands, RATDOG IS A DEAL BREAKER?! imo, if this is all it takes someone to abandon ship, good riddance

me too. I'd rather hear quality music than see a Famous Person propped up there. I'd rather see/hear DSO than Ratbob.
When I saw
Furthur last year, the rest of the band carried Bobby--on vocals and guitars (except when he screwed up lyrics; he did that all by himself.
And started twisting knobs on the stage amps and set the sound off balance). But I still want to see Furthur b/c the whole jam was
outstanding; put in a stand-in.
Feel the same way about ABB; rather see them with Gregg; rather see them without than not at all.
Now, if they yank Ratbob and Furthur completely without a GD replacement I will be more than disappointed. IOW I am looking for a night
of GD music, not a non-GD replacement.

Eh, I'd rather not see ABB without Greg, it's already a big enough bummer without Dickey. God I wish they'd bring Dickey on board for Lockn', that would make all of this bobby stuff okay.

As far as people I'd like to see absolutely agree with you. He sang lead on so many great songs and his voice is still great IMO. Phil sang lead on 3 of my favorite dead songs, but his voice is sooo rough these days. As far as musicianship goes, Bob a great innovative rhythm guitarist, but Phil is my favorite bassist of all time. So they're great in their own right, but I'll take hearing a singer, who still sounds good and is on my regular playlist (Bobby, and honestly VERY few others are on this list) to musicianship. But that's why furthur is so awesome, I saw the Dead in 09 and every furthur show I've seen has been waaaay better than that.Bob>Phil...carry on

Furthur isn't listed on the website anymore :/ The lineup on paper looks way less impressive without furthur and bobbdy, and with String and the gang on there, I wish that's the act we "lost".

Upon further discussion, it pains me to say we are OUT.
We'll be seeing many of these acts regardless of Lockn...AND...there's life stuff too!
I really really really would like to attend as I believe the venue and music will be fantastic once again.
Having reviewed everything...it's a no go.
I did tell her I may take a ride down on Friday for the Saturday show

Along with Mickey, Phil also had the most solid musical training growing up, coming up from a jazz and classical background. Maybe that's why I'm a Phil freak. www.biography.com/people/phil-lesh-20682817#life-with-the-grateful-deadAug 13, 2014 10:41:39 GMT -5 @wharfrat1490 said:Let's just say GD never talked about firing Phil, and leave it at that.

Tatanka, have you gone to many SCI shows? Furthur isn't listed on the website anymore :/ The lineup on paper looks way less impressive without furthur and bobbdy, and with String and the gang on there, I wish that's the act we "lost".
