He also said No to Gilmour and Waters (because, you know, they don't talk to each other) but I would not rule out David Gilmour based on that chat. Could be a little intentional misdirection there...

Would Gilmour be a WOW announcement? probably for me

I'd be thrilled with Fleetwood Mac, another one he didn't rule out, but I don't know if it would be a WOW for me. Maybe mostly because I've been saying they would be a good fit for a couple years.

I just picked up on the Further thing because I was trying to speculate on some sort of Phil annoucement that would be a WOW. Just another Phil lineup, I don't think that would do it for me or the crowd at large.

Would not rule out Roger Waters based on that either. Either Gilmour or Waters would be a big WOW for me, and probably most would agree.

Roger Waters late night at Blue Ridge Bowl would be truly epic.

Was that the latenight Mule set at AllGood that got a late start because of some tech difficulty? If, so I was there too and it went LATE.

That's the one. He did an incredible Creep.

DAMN! I forgot that! I am going to have to dig that one out. Also wasn't it a guitar problem for like 45 minutes and then he opened with an acapella John The Revelator?

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?

So the fact that Dave says that the VIP viewing area will be connected to the VIP camping area make me wonder if they are not flipping the stage locations again this year (facing North instead of South)...discuss...

I felt so bad for Farmer that night. The only time I can remember seeing Warren chewing his ass.

Or the VIP tent will be moved further up the field and you enter from there like last year. My guess Super VIP will be on the other side and have the same kind of entrance.

I think they have come up with dimensional phasing technology. The same show will be happening but what you experience will be dependent upon which stream you are part of. There will be no need for separate GA, VIP & SVIP areas. GA will still be crowded, VIP will be just a couple hundred people and SVIP will be about 12 people max. There is a slightly annoying hum you might experience as the other phase stream move thru their slightly out of phase dimension. SVIP obviously gets the real time phase with VIP almost imperceptibly behind them and GA behind them, but really who cares about GA.

I hope the big announcement isn't Further w/ Trey, two leads that don't practice together make for a choppy show and Trey really didn't take a lot of lead during his sit in at L1.

Phil & Friends w/ Trey as one slot if you want that kind of thing and save the big announcement for something else I hope.

I agree. Even Furthur alone would not interest me that much if they don't practice together and I just don't see them spending much time practicing for one show. Hell how much did the core four even practice for the FTW shows? I know Trey put in the time but as a whole band I think practice time was very limited. I was not there so I don't know for sure.

I will be right up there with you Flufhead! One of my big reasons for buying VIP! Well, that and I'm old so I have a good excuse.

Whatever you do, take care of your shoes.

The proletariats were hopping the fence like crazy, from GA into VIP, Sunday night at L3. It wasn't too big a problem until they overran the "taxi" line for shoulder rides at the end.

Still think that there should be eight foot high walls around the back and both sides of the VIP area to prevent the unwashed masses from imposing on our space, or even looking into our area to be honest.

yet lower walls make it easier to cast our offal and empty our chamber pots over to their side (although the VIP viewing platform is a fine parapet for this).
