Welcome to the Lockn' Forum - The home of the original Lockn' Music Festival family!
Yes: Many of the undercards at Lockn'. For most, it's going from unfamiliar to liking them, so I don't know if your question was intended to include new experiences. TAB fits in there. Few have changed my mind from like to dislike, or vice versa, and I am starting to get over that Willie Nelson disaster. I like Keller Williams better after seeing Keller and the Keels. I have a greater appreciation for Bill Kreutzman after L2 and L3. I have grown to really like Dave Matthews Band since I first started seeing/hearing them, always live. Please note: This forum is in no way officially associated with Lockn' Festival or its promoters.

I was never able to catch oysterhead so that would be a bigger deal for me. Wouldn't mind these as additions though.

Since Lockn' is the collaboration stew pot, why not TAB one night with a guest (like this year's) and then Oysterhead another night? Maybe before WSP? But not on a Deadco night.

Definitely not on my list, but I am not overly fond of TAB either.
I won't call it the end of Lockn' as we know it or anything like that - if you don't like a band, be respectful and just do something else while they play, usually there are things to occupy your time. But I would not like to see them occupy a headliner spot, even with the star power - but that's just me being selfish. But it's not the end of the world, and hey, maybe they will surprise me - it's happened before. (Khruangbin, anyone?)
An open mind at music festivals is a requirement in my book. Which brings me to my question:
Have you ever had you mind changed about a band after seeing them at a festival or concert?

"If you didn't know who it was, you wouldn't even give it a 2nd listen"
It's not my opinion, really. I enjoy Oysterhead, but it's also not my favorite. I'm not a huge Les Claypool guy but I think that his music really comes alive in its live form (like most of our bands we discuss here, really). I think Oysterhead will be at Lockn', they'll occupy a headliner or pre-head spot (a la Fogerty). It will be a good show, but I think a lot of the old Heads will not enjoy themselves.

Not sure how "Love & Light Trey" re-blends with this, but I'll be psyched if they make the lineup.
I think Vinnie nailed it - the older Heads will not dig it.

Because Oysterhead (new to me) seems more on the jazz side of things, it might not be wise for the Powers to put them in a prime spot, simply for the sake of the evening's energy. Recall Weir's low energy closer last year--not a reflection on the quality of the show at all. I hate to admit it, but Layla (the album not the song), being unfamiliar to more than half the crowd, had a thinning effect.
I think Vinnie you might agree that Oysterhead may be better on the poster than on the stage?

I think Oysterhead because of cost demands a really prime spot. What does everyone think of the energy in this vid from Bonnaroo 2006?
Edited to say I totally agree with you on the Dead/Phish comparison for old Phish. I think their newer stuff is a lot easier to sing along too, but still not lyrically like the Dead.
