Grateful Dead

Are by far my favorite summer festivals...there are several throughout the summer...the love, the family, and the music...you can feel it in the air....it's at beautiful Camp Zoe near Salem, MO...in the middle of the forest...thousands of kynd people, hundreds of vendors, all put on by a fabulous GD Tribute band (The Schwag)..I love it...can't get enough of it. "In a bed, in a bed, by the waterside I will lay my head. Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul."

Is always a good time. Jazz Aspen Snowmass over Labor Day is usually pretty good too. "I have spent my life seeking all that's still unsung. Bent my ear to hear the tune, and closed my eyes to see. When there were no strings to play, you played to me."

A Newport Folk Festival guy. Now that I'm in NC, it's gotta be Merlefest.

DELFEST, It's held in May, not quite summer. Awesome line-up last year and this year too. The late night stage every night is just one big jam session with all the artist from through-out the weekend. It is a must see festival for me. Check out the website!

The first Rothbury Festival was last year, and it was amazing, the music, Phil & Mickey both played on different nights, along with Michael Franti & Spearhead and lots of other great bands, it is totally eco-friendly, and even has a think tank that works to address environmental issues, it is an amazing venue, at the JJ Ranch, and I am so psyched they just this week confirmed that there will be another next year, but not the line-up so I am really hopeful that they will get The Dead!

Went to the inaugural festival last year. Had a great time! Beautiful location, great people and great music. This year's lineup includes Railroad Earth, Left Over Salmon and DSO (doing one acoustic set). We'll be there for sure. See you there! We've also enjoyed Allgood a lot the last two years. Marvin's Mountaintop is an awesome location.

I have to say that schwagstock is one of the best festivals i have been to. The first one was in 04 at bagnel damn when the dead played in i think st. louis. there was alot off kool people there. Schwagstock is still a good festival even though there has been alot of "st. louis kids" there that just wanna make money sellin bunk rolls and such and the road blocks are shitty there. anywho im hittin up a few dif festivals this yr such as summercamp in central illinois, hoodilidoo, all good, the dead on may 5th( first date) and hopefully a few more midwest fest. PEACE POT MICRO-DOT GOD LOVES YOU HIGH OR NOT!!!!!

its a small festival that started in dan's barn just a bucnh of people celebrating the life of jerry...i like its cause its small very family friendly and dog friendly too... every year it gets a little bigger all the bands are local...resonably priced.. check it out at jerryjam.com... no info for this year yet....so one year i went sitting around the fire listening to the band my head was full of fungi the band introduces themselves and i recognize the name of the rythum guitarsist... i look to my wife and told i went to junior high with some one with that name who is a deadhead...so i wonder down to the stage to take a look...when i went back to my seat i said those guys look to old..she smiled and said that was 20 years ago....so i forget about it cause i was conteplating going fishing in the fire he he he....then out of no where this guys comes up to me and asked my name i was like yeah thats me...and low and behold it was him..this realy ment something to me because he was the person who got me on the bus in the first place

^^^^^^cool lil story bro....coming, coming, coming around..in a circle...^^^^^^^ "In a bed, in a bed, by the waterside I will lay my head. Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul."

not sure if this was announced here... http://www.freep.com/article/20090316/ENT04/90316006/1039/ENT/Rothbury+…

No pressure festival in Moab, Utah. No big deal if you don't go. Wish you were there though. Memorial day weekend, 2009. Check it.

Can I just say THANK YOU! I have been waiting for a miracle and you came through for me......The Dead at ROTHBURY in MICHIGAN! ROTHBURY is an amazing festival and thanks to you this years 2nd annual will surely be the highlight of our summer (and probably year!). Can't wait to see you there :) :) :)

Sorry ccs, I can't view this page properly until your mile-long link is down the page so I'm gonna add and post and write without being able to see what I'm writing until we move left a little more =)

P-FUNK at Gaathering of the Vibes!!!!!!!!!!Too bad I'm blowing my summer wad on Rothbury....

Rothbury, oh rothbury - we'll have to kick out some serious jams during our 4-day stay.

Michigan Womyn's Fest - right near Rothbury by the BEEG LAKE... north of Grand Rapids. I've heard tell of how fun it is and I'm not gonna go until I'm a performer on the bill...

Afrofest is an awesome 2-day free festival of African music for anyone near Toronto, ON, Canada. Truly amazing performances by African and diaspora artists - great dancing, drumming, costumes, the works! This year it's July 11 & 12 in Queen's Park Circle, Toronto.

it's as simple as that. anyone who is a first timer this second round will be blown away. the vibe is overwhelming

hey so is anyone going to gathering of the vibes....this is a very family friendly festival in ct....pretty good line up this year with ratddog..csn..dso..p-funk...just to name a few acts...one of the things i like is that it is pretty lowkey considering the size of some festivals which makes it easy on the kiddie...the first year i went they even let pets in.. check it out gatheringofthevibes.com peace and hugs to all

We'll be Rothbury first timers! Can't wait! Traveling to see my 5th Dead show this year.. But as I read through the website it sounds a tad uptight??? I assume its laid back but just wondering... Will there be a shakedown st you think? "Escaping through the lily fields, I came across an empty space. It rainbow then exploded, left a bus stop in its place. The bus come by and I got on, thats when it all began. It was Cowboy Neal at the wheel of the bus to never ever land"

Oh yeah...there will be rows and rows of vendors....I've heard it's quite "laid back"...you're gonna have a blast. "In a bed, in a bed, by the waterside I will lay my head. Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul."

is without question "Schwagstock" in Salem, MO...........beautiful *private* 330 acre campground, fatty Shakedown Street.....String Cheese guys will be there in sept...everyone but Nershi is confirmed...I imagine after Rothbury he'll be there too....he loves the place...he played there last Sept with the "Emmitt-Nershi Band".....good times....I get the feeling we may see another Incident in @ Schwagstock in september...plus, the campground is owned and operated by The Schwag (GD Tribute)...use your imagination...Laid back? :)the *most* laid back...that place has me spoiled, every other Festival I hit up I'm always wishing I was at ZOE (Schwagstock).....check it out for yourself... www.theschwag.com www.campzoe.com ~~~it might just change your life.... ;)

i kinda gussed that fromm all the flyers you put in the vines (hee hee hee)....i wish i could go...i too like the smaller fetivals they seem more laidback and more personable peace and hugs to all

had beautiful weather, no mosquitos, and loads of grate times. There were terrific shows by Wilco, Widespread Panic, Steve Kimock's Crazy Engine, Umphrey's McGee, and Dave Matthews Band. There were other bands as well but those were the ones that I caught. The sound was tremendous and the playing remarkable. I urge you all to run, not walk, to see/hear these bands the next time they appear in your area. It was truely some fun up north. The Truth is realized in an instant, the act is practiced step by step.

After catching Panic 7 times last year, I'm pretty bummed to have missed out on them this year. I miss JB and Jimmy.. "I've stayed in every blue-light cheap hotel. Can't win for tryin. Dust off those rusty strings just one more time. Gonna make em shine."

"The wheel is turning and you can't slow down, you can't let go and you can't hold on,you can't go back and you can't stand still, if the thunder don't get you then the lightning will". Are you ready to get your Hippie on!

Is on hiatus and that may mean no more. 10,000 Lakes Festival. Had a great time with friends and family, met Oroboros and his family. Went in 2007 and 2008. Who did I see?Phil and Friends, Ratdog, Gov't Mule, Derek Trucks, Little Feat, Flaming Lips, New Riders, moe., String Cheese Incident, DSO, Kaki King, Zappa Plays Zappa, Umphrey's McGhee and many more. If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. William Blake

Just got an e-mail stating that Furthur will be the headliner! We've been twice before and had a great time both times! Also Railroad Earth, Yonder Mountain String Band, Widespread Panic and Dark Star Orchestra this year. Gonna' get our tickets when they go on sale Friday!

I've been to grateful fest for the last several years, (as well as a variety of other festivals- all good, rothbury, GOTV, 10,000 Lakes, etc.) and as much as I *love* NLQP, it seems as though events there have gone down the tube in the last few years. It's depressing. I'm currently looking for the new "hotspot" in the region, and have heard good things about Terrapin Hill. Any reviews on the scene there or suggestions as far as other venues in the midwest that are more chilled out than the ledges have been for the last few years? The paranoia at the Ledges has really got the best of me, and in the last few years I've had little desire to attend shows at the Ledges due to these concerns.suggestions appreciated!! ------------------------------------------- "A foolish heart will call on you To toss your dreams away Then turn around and blame you For the way you went astray A foolish heart will cost you sleep And often make you curse A selfish heart is troubl

By far the most special summer festival I have ever been to is the Oregon Country Fair, near Eugene, second weekend in July. Currently we love the Mateel Community Center's Summer Arts Festival at Benbow Lake in Humboldt County,and the Kate Wolf Memorial Music Festival in Laytonville, both super mellow, laid back events. Hardly Strictly Bluegrass is free and great every October in Golden Gate Park if you don't mind hanging out with about half a million people in a really stiff sea breeze. Any free concert in Golden Gate Park is great fun. An event that draws a slightly different crowd is the Redwood Run in Piercy. If you can stand the sound of bikes, the sight of bikers and the smell of exhaust, the Rewood Run is a great party though, sadly, their musical line-up has been somewhat lacking in the last couple of years.

I like that! :-) "Here's my half a dollar if you dare .. double twist when you hit the air. Look at Julie down below .. the levee doing the dopaso"

All I can say is that a bunch of us Dead.netters just went to see ABB and Scaring the Children at Wanee in Florida......WOW, what a nice place that was, I was very impressed with the whole staging and set up of this huge music park at the Spirit of the Sawanee River......HINT HINT HINT...All Deadhead Family....We could have a SERIOUSLY good time at that place if it was ALL Dead! What a blast. _____________________________________________ Will you come with me? Once in awhile you can get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right!

Damn I'm jealous! How was WP? I am so excited they are coming back to red rocks this year - 3 nights. Also excited about 2 nights of David Grisman Bluegrass Experience in July. To top it off I am surprising my wife with tix to Rush at red rocks. Supposedly they are playing the entire Moving Pictures album. Let's just say I about maxed out the old credit card this weekend :-) Just really hoping I get a chance to see Furthur again this summer... come on guys there are plenty of slots available at RR! Hurry, they fill up fast... please!! I'll go ahead and book you for 3 nights - how about over a weekend in August ;-) (I wish I had that power!!) "Here's my half a dollar if you dare .. double twist when you hit the air. Look at Julie down below .. the levee doing the dopaso"

I don't know yet whether this will be a good fest or not, but it takes place a 30 seconds walk from my front door, is free, and yeah well look at the one image they used on the page :-) http://www.euro-festival.info/node/14 ********************************** By trying we can easily learn to endure adversity -- another man's I mean.
