Welcome to the Lockn' Forum - The home of the original Lockn' Music Festival family!
For those that have not seen it yet, here is the story of how the whole Dead & Company thing came to be.

For those that have not seen it yet, here is the story of how the whole Dead & Company thing came to be. Ah yes, there it is. I figured it had to be somewhere on this forum but a sudden wave of nearly oppressive laziness prevented me from searching for it. That being said, the wife and I had tickets to the Greensboro show even though neither of us were that fired up about it. After our half-assed attempt to find a babysitter proved unfruitful, we sold the tickets without a tinge of regret. If they do end up playing Lockn'. which I agree is probably pretty likely, I'll sit through it and will probably find it agreeable. I am by no means a Mayer fan but I will certainly take him over Kadlecik (no offense to the JK lovers out there, I just happen to concur with Billy K's description of the guy--just my opinion and you know what they say about those).

Agreed. To be perfectly honest, I would feel pretty let down if they don't play Lockn'. Although if I were allowed just one humble request, it would be that they play Friday or Sunday. That way as we head into the final 10 minutes of the set, we can be surprised by their song choice instead of mustering up semi-genuine enthusiasm for yet another rendition of OMSN.

They announced 2 nights of Dead & Co. at Citifield in Queens on Q 104.3 today with dates to follow. Dates at Wrigley field are also rumored to be announced soon. I think that this bodes well for Lockn 2016.
Did I mention I'm Greek?

I really think Dead & Co are almost a given.
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 went to G'boro without having heard a note of Dead & Co and pretty low expectations but willing to give it a listen. Here is what I thought at the time.Solid show. I really enjoyed seeing Billy & Mickey and Oteil playing together. Mayers guitar was entirely suitable to the occasion and of course Chimenti was on point as always. The slowed down blues version of Ship Of Fools was a nice version. Lots of good to great music played. No, Mayer's guitar is not my favorite that I have ever heard play GD music but like I said it was entirely suitable and anyone that didn't like the show because of him needs to reevaluate some things. Bob's singing was probably, no not probably definitely, the weak link but we've known that for a while now.
Again it boils down to a pretty simple recipe. The songs that I love most in the world, played well while hanging out with the people I love most in the world. I really don't need to over analyze that.
If they play Lockn it will fit right in and we will all dance together and have fun.
