I don't know about anyone else but the late nights are where it's at for me. Theres something very special about them
.
Some acts I'd like to see would be EOTO, Dopapod, Pigeons playing ping pong, The Motet..... anyone else have any thoughts while we wait for 2015?

Dopapod and Motet are amazing and I'd love to hear them live.

Show'off. I didn't make the late shows last year because in SVIP info was not good about getting around. Now that I know more as a vet & the layout I will make some late shows.i dont know who any of those people are, but i can say that i made almost every single late night show last year and they were all amazing

Late nights were definitely great last year. Don't want EOTO, or any other sort of EDM either, though.
Taj's set was truly one of the highlights of the festival for me.

well saidLate night is my favorite part of the day anyway, and having live music from legends like Taj and some other great acts just make it even better.
Frey & Shapiro really hit the nail on the head with all of the late night acts. Pre-festival I was bummed/underwhelmed about half of the late slate consisting of, in pessimistic terms, some old blues guy, two old acoustic guys, and Derek Trucks without an electric slide guitar. Post-festival, it was the perfect fit for the setting, energy, and vibe at the triangle stage, and made for a less frenetic interlude before the rager at dumpstaphunk, 16 hour dance party at CRB, and pandemonium at Bustle.
I would vote to keep the toned down late night at triangle as a prelude to louder/higher energy stuff at the shakedown stage. Not to say that acoustic can't be raucous or late night. One year at All Good they had Yonder play the late night set and they were melting all faces, even the faces that had their noses turned up at the very bluegrass that was melting them.

as soon as they start playing EDM at Lockn, the magic is over. Late nights were definitely great last year. Don't want EOTO, or any other sort of EDM either, though.

Folks, let's stop the hating on EDM. I know I've been guilty of it in the past too, but it occurred to me that it's a more or less natural occurrence to not like younger people's music as you get older, and that whatever we don't like about their scene is probably the same kinds of things squares don't like about us (or didn't when we were long-haired youths): weird music, funny hair, strange apparel, questionable substances.
These kids are trying to get their groove on, and expand consciousness at the same time. Isn’t that what we're all about? Sure, some of them are just in it for the party, but that's true of our scene, too. Besides, EDM puts "asses in seats," so if it necomes necessary to keep Lockn going, I'm all for it.
Don't care for EDM? Don't attend those sets. Easy-peasy.

Eoto is not EDM. I mean its only 2 guys so yeah they use some electronics but..... maybe I see things differently since I come from metal music. Edm to me are dj's. witch are cool, in the right settings. This is 2 guys from one of the biggest jam bands around that personally I think would blow the roof off of the triangle stage but hey that's why I started this thread, to hear what others thought, and to kill some time til we all meet again in the mountains!

Listen to The Werks and tell me they aren't the perfect blend of 'old school jam' and EDM. A grove is a grove.

Well thanks for that I'll check them out. They played here a month ago and I skipped it because I had the EDM idea. One of the biggest jam bands is a big claim but it shows your respect for them.
Yeah I'm going EDM on EOTO. I listened to Electric Forest 2012 and think that what they do is pretty cool but more fitting for a rave

I like EOTO and Dopapod. Just not at Lockn. Pigeons are fun but they aren't anywhere near big enough to carry a late night there. I love Motet and think they are almost big enough. But not quite. Besides most, if not all, of them will probably be playing Camp Barefoot 2 weeks earlier in WV. There are non competition clauses in contracts. Not they can't be broken. Tauk did last year. They were a late addition and played Barefoot. I guess money talks.
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?

i understand what you're saying, but i strongly disagree. i firmly stand by my statement. i'm not hating on the people that listen to EDM. they have their fests. lockn is not one of them. i'd rather see lockn stop than turn into another bonnaroo. it's a slippery slope. you say just don't go to those sets, but the way lockn is set up, that means i'd have a giant hole in my day/night. there is a time and place for EDM and lockn is, and never will be, that place. on this point i will never waiver or apologize.

I really don't think we have to worry about EDM. I think Dave has shown his musical taste. He said they wanted the kind of bands they would like to see even if it was only the two of them there. I went to Electric Forest Fest in 2011. It was my first time exposed to EDM. I found it very interesting & I enjoyed it. To me it does get old after a while. But it was great to see what's going on. I may go back someday but Lockn's my home now. I's my kind of music. Keep up the good work Dave

I agree with both of you. "Turn that shit down" was the thing that bothered me the most when old geezers just didn't get it. That being said, Sneake IMO is 100% right, Lockn isn't that place!

I really enjoyed lettuce last year. I feel like they would be a great fit for shakedown stage.
I had a great time at that stage, was camped nearby. Easy to swing by camp and grab some beers to enjoy first.

Don't know if edm or djs are necessary. Even though I enjoy some old school turntablism. I wouldn't mind some live jamtronic like dopapod, papadosio, the werks, tauk....something along those lines. Would also definitely love for galactic, dumpstaphunk, or umphreys to throw down a late night rager set. They all can jam some late night sets

Dopapod is coming to a club here end of February. I'm checking their stuff out right now and I really dig it. A lot. I can't believe I'm only gonna get charged $13 to seem them live. Lotta Floyd, Phish and Talking Heads. The keys are a bit over the top now and again, but I didn't think it sound much different from Bernie Worell's work with TH. If Lockn' isn't the fest for a band like Dopapod, even latenight, I may be in the market for a new fest.
Post by vsct on Feb 12, 2015 12:19:12 GMT -5
The New Deal, Motet, JRAD, Dopapod, would all be great for late night.
