Single day tickets now on sale! Just grabbed mine!

Also, heads up -- StubHub has single-days waaaaaaay below face right now.

Duddde! Thank you so much! Just snagged two tickets from Stubhub- total less than 80 dollars! You CANNOT beat that!  The Friday line up is looking great too! American Babies, Holly Bowling, Greensky Bluegrass! :thumbsup:

Great! that gives the boys some time to spread out a little bit. I do not have the app- nor do I have a smartphone ( I know, I know.. stone age..) could someone post the Friday schedule?

You won't have to wait as long as you think cause they're playing Friday night.  :grin:   :wink:

D'oh! I'm not even going to be there Saturday! Bolting to MassMOCA bright and early.

does anyone know if Peach does a livestream?

This is going to be one hell of a fest. Best of all it is perfectly set up where my strung out behind won't have any issues leaving early on Sunday.
There are some conflicts but man Thurs-Sat is pretty much non-stop good music all day and night.

i don't think so. I saw nothing that indicates they've done it before. Our best bet is probably Mixlr, Periscope, FB Live, etc
Don't you ever turn it off

If any day trippers are looking for a great place for lunch/ drinks before you head in, Backyard Alehouse in downtown Scranton cannot be beat! :beer:

I feel like this being a more jammy festival that someone will have a Mixlr stream. I'm likely going to CRB or I'd try to find one.

If they play Melissa, they are going to crush it.

I agree and hope they dig it so much they play it again Saturday night at Mass MoCa.  :thumbsup:  It'll most likely be a one off but a guy can hope right?

 Can't wait for tonight. Weather not lookin so good but hoping it's just rain and not storming enough to fuck with the set!

anyone know of a stream for the show tonight?

What a show!! though almost exactly 2 hours I would say the show of the summer tour, based on being at 1 other, and listening to some others. The boys were definitely playing to the " jam crowd" with nice transitions between songs, extended jams, etc..

I don't recall the entire setlist, but there were lots of repeats from this tour:

The magic began with a beautiful Steam Engine > Blowin' in the Wind > Melissa > All Things Must Pass

the 3 covers were all breakouts of this tour, and I believe Melissa and ATMP have never been played by Jacket. I thought Melissa especially was beautifully played, all 3 saw Carl on pedal steel.

other highlights: a great version of Phone Went West, and a seemingly new extended jam at the end of Touch Part 2 ( much longer  than I remember the Forest Hills version)


I have some gripes with the festival in general. The first 30 rows are sold off to VIP, meaning its impossible to have a good seat to the a headlining act unless you bought VIP. Also, last night the rain was torrential which meant the non vip section was PACKED with everyone from the lawn as well, made for some crowding distractions, and overall bad vibes in parts of the seated sections.

Plenty of Tapers present, so tape should be surfacing shortly :)
