THE Jailhouse Boys would be on that train, for SURE! :thumbsup
Auntie Hope :festivarian2 :green
Tim O’Brien and Darrell Scott performing “Real Time” :thumbsup
I will second this with everything I can muster. That is my all time favorite album. I think Darrell should be an every year type of act, anyway.
we sure got a great brother wind last year with darrell and tim on father’s day 
had tears in my eyes for that one :cheers
Tinariwen
Nomad musicians…
saw/heard them on Colbert Report a few nights ago
they had a cool groove
Levon Helm
Hey, there’s this guy that plays banjo…I didn’t catch his name, maybe it was Bayluh? Anyhoo, that dude could play…I think he should be in Telluride some day
:evil

Special Request:
Something involving Bryan Sutton, Noam Pikelny and friends on the Elks Park Stage so we can hear stuff from their current and forthcoming albums.
I also like the Willie Nelson and Ricky Skaggs ideas but would rather see SCI to make up for what I agree was a snoozer of a set from RRE last year. I like them and was excited to see them for the first time but they seemed at least as tired as their set made me. They have some great sets on archive and their new album is great so I suppose everyone can have an off night. I just figured it wouldn’t be closing the night at T-ride. I loved Yonder with their new found energy this year but felt they blew their best tunes on firstgrass and Sheridan. There just wasn’t that much left for main stage without repeats.
Alternatively, Punch Brothers didn’t make many repeats in their 5 hrs worth of sets and I was never bored.
I enjoy alternative groups like Decemberists and Mumford and Sons. Mumford was awesome during Punch Bros set at the Sheridan. That said, I’d like to see someone different this year but can’t think of what. I think diversity is good for the festy and should continue! :thumbsup
On the alternative front, here’s a few suggestions from acts with strong releases during this last year:
Tea Leaf Green- said it before and I’ll say it again, Radio Tragedy is great.
Ha Ha Tonka- touring soon w/ TLG, perfect for the fest, Death of a Decade is impressive
My Morning Jacket- they just get weirder (and often better)
Iron & Wine- Sam doesn’t do it for everyone, but he does it for me…
Like to see Drive-By Truckers again tho the 'To-Do didn’t do it for me
Not so alternative…
Gillian Welch
Female act I’d like to see the most though is:
Neko Case- love her voice, she could sing the freakin’ phone book and I’d be happy, time for a return.
Lonesome River Band has a new recording coming out. I’m sure they’d love to share a few tunes in T-ride! :thumbsup

So glad it’s not just me. I was sorely disappointed, but I’m following the advice to hunt down some killer sets to see if they can be redeemed in my mind!
That’s been my feeling about Yonder for quite a while. Seems they burn out a little in Telluride, either energy-wise or material-wise by playing so many sets.
Now if it’s energy we want, how about a LoS gig in support of the new (yet to be recorded) album?
Check out Railroad’s new years ogden run from last year, much better than lasts years festival set.
LoS just went into the studio today!!! :woohoo
Yes they did! :band
It’s got to happen!
I am pretty sure all of my requests have been mentioned, but this is America and if you don’t vote, you can’t complain. 
So here is my vote:
- The Infamous Stringdusters
- Greensky Bluegrass (I’m pretty sure this is already confirmed – I’m PUMPED!)
- Leftover Salmon (Pretty sure this is going to happen – They’re on a roll!!!)
- The Duhks
- The Greencards
- Crooked Still
- Dead Winter Carpenters
- Paul Simon
- John Cowan
- Ricky Skaggs
- String Cheese Incident (Did you Sam Bush, Stuart Duncan and Andy Hall play with them in Nashville?!? RIDICULOUS!!!
Here are some clips:

Other than that, just keep doing what you do Planet!
Yeah that Cheese/Bush set was OBSCENE! I wish i was there so so so much!
How about some Hobo Nephews of Uncle Frank?
Has Krist Kristofferson ever played TBF?
