That would explain the minus 2 rating
There aren’t many who would agree that Ms Krauss could make a ‘stinker’
Who would your preference be Mark?
Well, as i mentioned above, its gonna be a head scratcher i think. as much as i would love to see levon and john prine(in the area the saturday before at Red Rocks) i think we are going to get something a little “bigger” than folks are used to. I’m thinking its going to be more alt.
Stephen Stills is playing Denver on June 21st. Maybe he’ll come and bring his old pal Neil with him. (I WISH!)
:pickin :pickin
YES!!! I would LOVE to see Ashby Frank on Mando in Telluride!!!
Auntie Hope :festivarian2 :green
I’m bettin on Prine and Helm- GREAT. I dunno bout Kraus and Plant. Stephen Stills has just gotten gross :eek :eek :eek :eek, don’t know if I could stomach him, but Neil- OH BABY, that would make my day!!! I ,mean who wouldn’t be in heaven playing Red Rocks and Telluride the same week , and who wouldn’t be in heaven just being there.Most people don’t ever get to do that! :medal :medal :medal
You do have some good taste, don’t you Auntie. Ashby Frank is worth watching.
Yup, he makes a pretty good job of it but I also love Justin Carbone’s guitar playing … and Mr Cahill’s b*njo in fact - there isn’t a weak link in the band… Josie’s Reel - Wow!!
They’re at Bean Blossom just before TBF - can you make it happen Auntie?
:pickin
Young Man ???
Ha. Just because I judge people on their current work/performance and not past reputation Im deemed young am I ?? Pah. And lets not forget RP was responsible for “The Principle of Moments” which even he’s brushed under the carpet.
If were going Alt C I would go Jayhawks or Louris/Olsen.
If bigger, maybe its U2, they seem to be bloddy everywhere at the moment :mad :mad :mad
I am praying for a little:
Leftover Salmon
Cornmeal
Greensky
Trampled by Turtles
Leftover Salmon (REALLY hoping they are added again)
:thumbsup
I would festifreak if Neil was added, I saw him play “This old guitar” with Emmy Lou and Willie at Farm Aid 2005 and it was incredible. Why not get Willie too he doesn’t have anything scheduled, yet.
I have to say there have been a few bands listed by others that I would find myself on the other side of town as quickly as possible if they hit the stage. In fact I do that every time Leftover plays, but they have fans and I am not going to tell their bands suck like you do. (Really I just don’t care for them, they do have some good songs)
I keep mouth shut, because letting people voice what they like should not really be a debate.
But if you wish to debate Robert Plant’s current work, work that has been awarded with Grammys and his best reviews as a solo artist, than we can do that. But I just not sure if this is place to do that.
I grew up on country, and would rather have Clint Black or even Taylor Swift at Telluride than David Bryne but that’s just me. Give me fiddles and/or banjos any day, and yes RP & AK has a fiddle and banjos.
And Greensky should be asked to come back. They are a great Telluride band.
Thanks for the lecture.
I hope RP gave one of his grammys to Robert Johnson, Willie Dixon etc
Lighten up.
Nice post, especially the Greensky part!
Okay, lets smile folks :festivarian. It’s shaping up to be a beautiful day and there’s no reason to argue personal opinion. Regardless of the 11th we’re all in for a great treat!! 
Shapin up to be beautiful evening you mean :flower
On a slight tangent…how are the bands/artists selected for the festival?
Is it a committee, an individual, a group of committed individuals?? It must be a double edged sword of a job, not sure I’d want the responsibility.
Well done to those that do though, without them we’d just be watching the cars go by.
I think they give them all a tarp, tent, banjo and a piece of bacon and they race for the stage.
Except Robert Plant who is carried by Allison Krauss obv. 
HIGH-OH!
:joke
What dawgwannebe said. This thread wasn’t meant to be a debate or to run down a particular artist.
Not living in a festi-region, we journey to the festival every year to be entertained and introduced to a diverse variety of musicians. We’re frequently treated to artists performing outside of the style that we might expect.
And if you listen to a couple of tunes, and they are not of your liking, you can always take a hike! Literally!
Hmm… there seems to be as many cries for Greensky as there was for Railroad Earth… having seen RRE a number of times now, I think I’d prefer some Greensky for variety. But I’d gladly settle for both.
:cheers
