THE DAILIES ARE UP.

[chrisjoseph]

And John Mayer was added to 2nd weekend

[jonnygospeltent]

Thanks C'J

[festivalgirl]

2nd Sunday - ouch. So much music, so little time!

[csoul]

Swwweeeetttt!!!...

O.k, now when do the cubes come out?

[csoul]

Oh, never mind. I just saw on the other thread....March 25th.....I guess I can wait that long.

[saturn]

2nd Sunday - ouch. So much music, so little time!

For sure. And second Saturday looks pretty packed, too. Actually, every day does! FOMS is seriously starting here.

[chrisjoseph]

well, it may not be March 25 for the cubes. I'm still trying to confirm that one.

[stlbarb]

as predicted. as soon as the dailies were out - the masses start clamouring for the cubes.

[Fred (Texas JF Fanatic)]

Cubes!!!! ;)

[Cleophus]

as predicted. as soon as the dailies were out - the masses start clamouring for the cubes.

And then the food list, the crafts list, the map, etc. :)

[Jada]

as predicted. as soon as the dailies were out - the masses start clamouring for the cubes.

YYR! Bring on dem cubes :D

[pokerchick66]

Cubie dooby doo.

[Jada]

My cocktail is getting warm...I need some cubes

[Orleansnj]

Oh, never mind. I just saw on the other thread....March 25th.....I guess I can wait that long.

Is that true? I missed that posting. If the cubes are out by then - that's early....

here's to hoping !

[VWGal]

I am a cubist, and I need a fix!

[rosetree]

And then the food list, the crafts list, the map, etc. :)
I know one artist who will be in Contemporary Crafts the 2nd weekend!!!;) ;)

[Orleansnj]

YEA !!!! Rosetree - people I know through work are going to be down for french quarter fest - I've given them info on your gallery...I hope they stop over !

I've also been dropping hints to my husband. Printed out a couple of things from your website, cut them out and have been slipping them in his date book and his messenger bag.....hee hee hee...

[pokerchick66]

Oh crud. I already see two nights where I'm having FOMS baaaad. Help me Jeebus.

Did yall see the night where Jerry Lee Lewis and George Thoroughgood are right by each other? Sigh. And here's a worse one: Steely Dan and Harry Connick, Jr. are by each other. I have to choose???

I don't like FOMS.

[Cleophus]

[festydave]

Cubes will (fingers crossed) come out on March 27th which is one month from the start of the Fest. The March 25th date was wrong. I bet you'll be able to see Harry Jr & Steely Dan with out much worry.

My best guess would be Steely Dan plays before Connick. Jerry Lee/Thorogood opposite stages.

[ibjamn]

Shades of the 80s, early 90s for me. I have slowed down considerably in recent years, due to crippling arthritis. But this year, I have a scooter and I'm planning things out the way I used to. (Good thing hebjamn is 11 yrs younger than me! ;))

So far on my list I want to see:
Fri - 14acts
Sat - 10 acts
Sun - 13 acts first weekend
http://forums.randi.org/images/smilies/zzwhip.gif

Fri - 13 acts + contemporary crafts
Sat - 14 acts
Sun (OMG!!) - 19 acts!!!! http://forums.randi.org/images/smilies/mazeguyemotions/jaw-dropping.gif

I'll see ya at the fairgrounds, all over the fairgrounds! If you see my husband, offer him your chair, a drink of water, or a foot massage! http://forums.randi.org/images/smilies/rub.gif

[Fred (Texas JF Fanatic)]

Major FOMS for 1st Fri & 2nd Sat..... Thinking maybe Allmans at Sprint & Mayer at Acura. Oh well... Will miss Mayer.

[frangooch]

First weekend looks like Friday/Sunday for me. Rest up (to a point) on Saturday, then big dinner and evening shows. This is a perfect plan in that it enables me to have a great time as well as miss Rod Stewart.........

Yea, festydave dropped a major hint about SD & Harry C. Good news, thanks FD!

[nolanole]

I think the worst of my fears has been realized: Van vs Lucinda. Gotta catch Van. Guess maybe I'll endure HOB for Lucinda's night show.

[stlbarb]

i would guess Taj Mahal closing out the Blues stage 2nd sunday.
the last gigs of the last day always give me SUPER FOMS.

disagree. i think Van will be one of the last shows of the day. Lucinda will be earlier.

[funkkjunkie]

You can always use moon's last sets of the last day strategy, barb. I used it last year and loved it. Pass through all the stages for a few minutes and see it all!

[Corona]

2nd Saturday is gonna KILL us after the Bayou Rendezvous all night. That's gonna be an amazing day....and 2nd Sunday is killer too.....as well as First Friday. Wahoooo, spread out pretty damn good but I know damn well there's gonna be some serious FOMS when dem damn cubes come out. Right now I can still be in denial and fantasy land about everything I'm gonna see.....

[nolanole]

Hope you're right STLBARB. I figured Van closing Acura and Lu closing Sprint. Kind of funny the three artists I've read the most here about "mailing it in" performances are all playing on the same day: Van ,LU, & the Good Dr.

[stlbarb]

my legs don't have that much left after 11 days.
we used to run from one big stage to the other - and back.
but that was many lost years & many gained pounds ago.

i might catch a small stage or tent for a few, but i must close with the radiators - on the hill with, what seems like, everyone i've ever met at fest. its the kreme da karma.

[Orleansnj]

i'm a Lucinda fan - but i don't think she's that big outside of the alt-country base. i could be wrong.

only time & the cubes will tell.

ps - yes i just admitted i could be wrong.

[stlbarb]

exactly - i get to say goodby to so many people.

its odd that so many of the different peoples i've met at fest over the years all seem to converge on the same area of very large stages. 100k people and the ones i know all know each other? must be some cosmic magnetic force.

[luvdancin]

You can always use moon's last sets of the last day strategy, barb. I used it last year and loved it. Pass through all the stages for a few minutes and see it all!

I do that frequently all through fest. I have heard the best 2-3 songs from 5000 artists through the years. But I've also found some amazing music that I would not have heard otherwise. Besides, between the dancing and cruising the stages, I can work off all that weight from the fabulous NOLA food. YUM

[stlbarb]

BYR

[Headless Hornman]

I'll be closing the Fest with the Rads too. I remember a few years back I felt a little guilty when they played Sympathy for the Devil right about the time I figured the Nevilles were doing Amazing Grace. Woo hoo!

LOL) I told him outright, that's what I want for my JF Christmas present this year, and that he would, too, once he saw your work.
I can't hint any clearer than that!

[mamaroux]

Maybe this will work this year... I have decided that I'm not going to push myself to try to see it all. (ahahahahahahhahah I'm so funny :)) ) If I'm going to go to Crawfish Fest and see some of the same acts just a month later, then I should try to see acts I'm not going to be seeing or haven't seen... like Tab, Sonny, Van, Tab, Sonny, Norah Jones, Tab, Sonny, and that sort of thing. If I'll be seeing them in a club while I'm there, I can skip 'em and catch something I wouldn't normally get the chance to see.

Ok, this sounds good on paper, but I have a feeling it won't work... but I have good intentions of being able to go, enjoy and relax. Right. Relax. Sure.
Where are the darn CUBES? I NEED TO PLAN!!!!!

[pokerchick66]

Cubes will (fingers crossed) come out on March 27th which is one month from the start of the Fest. The March 25th date was wrong. I bet you'll be able to see Harry Jr & Steely Dan with out much worry.

Look at the black hair all over Zeke! And Camille with the T-Bones beard and "Cops"-arrestee t-shirt - man! :D

Ahh, the memories of the old stage signs - "Stage Numbah 1", "Stage Numbah 2", "Da stage ovah by da pond" - the smiplicity and lack of sponsor names kinda went well with the $5 tix!

Until the actual day gets there, I don't know who I'm going to see because I may find something new and decide to stay at that stage for awhile.. I will definately be closing it out with the Rads because. Just Because. I'm gettting stoked with only 49 days left!!!!!!!

[Zbonnie]

Sorta off topic, but ..... I remember one year going from Fais Do Do to the jazz tent with Banzai Bill to see Dave Brubeck (my first time). I said to Bill, "if he plays Take Five, I'm going to cry. You could have heard a pin drop in that tent throughout the entire set, except, of course, for the thunderous applause after each song. And, yes, he played Take Five and we both cried and there was a very long standing ovation. It was a religious experience. Why I drifted here: it's playing on my Harvard FM radio station right now.

[Frosty]

Crap, too man bands we really want to see. That will hinder us from wandering aimlessly and dropping in on bands we've never heard of and didn't realize how badly THEY were the band we really wanted to see.

[pokerchick66]

My best guess would be Steely Dan plays before Connick. Jerry Lee/Thorogood opposite stages.

Jerry Lee wins that one as I have seen George before at HOB (great show!). I sure do hate to miss him, though. One bourbon, one scotch and one beeya . . .

[BillericayDicky]

Well, after all these years hoping to catch a Steely Dan concert.... I'm going to miss out again. Only day I will miss of this years fest is... you guessed, 2nd Sunday...I'm gutted but what a line upfor the other 5 days hard to choose where to be and what to see. What a blast!

[Lostcajun]

A few years back I brought one of my three sons. The one who plays piano and he sat next to me mesmerized at watching Dave Brubeck play. He especially like that little known tune "Take Five." A great moment to be sure!!! This year I bring my daughter for the first time. We shall sit and enjoy Norah Jones!!!!

[Zbonnie]

Wish I'd kept that journal I always promised to start....I've never gotten to the point of keeping a formal journal, but at best I've actually typed out a summary from the scrawled, dated lists of people/places/bands/food that I really try to write down every day back at my B&B. And at worst, I've got just those lists, shorthand memories of memorable times from particular years. I also make some notation on my cubes which acts at Fest I actually saw and keep those too (in my photo albums).

[eat_mo_crawfish]

Yo Bry, I've kept a Fest "journal" over the past, I dunno, maybe 7-8 years. I print out an extra set of cubes and highlight at the end of the day all the acts I managed to see and write a few notes next to certain memorable ones, like John Hiatt's goosebumpmax encore of "Have a Little Faith in Me," Theresa's body paint, the first year I hung out with you and Bar at the Rads close-out, stuff like that.

Stop tempting me, Crepes. I've been dying to see Jerry Lee. Maybe in my virtual fantasy Jazzfest, George plays right before Jerry at the SAME STAGE. That's what I choose to believe anyway. For a whole month.

[dank_bass]

And then the food list, the crafts list, the map, etc. :)

I know right ... I dont even wanna wait. Just fast forward til after fest, and tell me what happened, ok?

[AtPontchartrain]

Stop tempting me, Crepes. I've been dying to see Jerry Lee. Maybe in my virtual fantasy Jazzfest, George plays right before Jerry at the SAME STAGE. That's what I choose to believe anyway. For a whole month.

On the recent Last Man Standing duet video he was looking rather "propped up" at the piano and not very expressive, like some little strokes might have happened. Duet with Solomon Burke, stuck in his industrial-size chair, was just plain weird. Still his voice finds that 18-year old bad boy sound that shouts stand back, I'm more dangerous than I look.

LOL!! That's so funny! Denbear was reviewing the dailies last night and kept saying things like: "Cool, Dr. John AND Van Morrison!!" - as if they would be appearing on the same stage together . . . I kept having to remind him that that's not how Quint schedules, which he should know better than I, having come to Jazzfest every year since it began.

He was just so excited by the dailies, I think he got a bit ferklempt :D

[Cleophus]

Cleo-----When are you getting here??? We are having a "Rosetree Fest" on the Wed 'tween weekends. Will you be here then??? I'll make a new thread for newbies when we get a little closer:D

[rosetree]

Rosetree -- I get in 4/26, leave 5/1. Damn, that's not a whole lotta time! We'll be working in the studio on 5/1, and you are welcome to come ova anytime that day. If not maybe I'll meet you @ Lena's beer tent one day @ the Fest.:D

Thanks for the invite! If we make it over to Algiers before we leave on 5/1, I'd love to visit the studio.

[PaulC]

Well,.. after a few days of mind bogglin' reflection,.. all previous plans for easin' into the fest on the first day are in serious jeopardy,.. actually they are shot to hell..

I've tried numerous times now to calculate must sees for that Friday alone,.. and it just can't be done... Realistically,.. it - can - not - be - done.... There is no way possible to be everywhere I need to be and how the hell am I even supposta' consider finding bands I have yet to discover,.. and then there's the whole day at the Gospel tent to factor in.... :eek:

New plan.... Immediately upon entering eat fried eggplant w/ crawfish topping,.. Then all bets are off.... Calgon,.. take me away......

I believe bream bob is working on a cloning device that will take all your foms away. Bream, how's that coming?

John Mayer? He'll fit right in with the corporate radio soft rock-less talk sounds of Rod Stewart. Any chance Celine Dion, & Phil Collins will be there?

Clearly you actually haven't heard him play guitar. He's soft at times but that was just cruel!

I have to agree with you. The first and only time John Mayer has played JF I thought he was a Dave Matthews want to be. Then he showed up at another show and the kid was smokin! The kid can play guitar. The last time I saw him was in Dallas at the Cotton Bowl jamming with BB King, Eric Clapton & Jimmie Vaughan. I look for Mayer/Allmans to play opposite stages 2nd Sat and I know where I will be. Two of the best guitarist in the world will be up on stage w/Allmans. They both play a mean slide also! Just guessing but Allmans @ Sprint and Mayer @ Acura.

[Papins]

I've heard him play guitar...just because he's good doesn't mean he's not in the same league as Micheal Bolton.

[t-bird]

How's this for self-control? I've not looked at the Dailies yet... hmm, maybe more self-preservation than self-control... FOMS Control!

On the recent Last Man Standing duet video he was looking rather "propped up" at the piano and not very expressive, like some little strokes might have happened. Duet with Solomon Burke, stuck in his industrial-size chair, was just plain weird. Still his voice finds that 18-year old bad boy sound that shouts stand back, I'm more dangerous than I look.We had to stop watching the PBS show last night. 'Propped up' is a good descriptor. I felt bad for him. Not sure if I'll see him at fest or not.

Saw Jerry Lee Lewis about 10 years ago and i was not impressed then. i think the great ball of fire may have burned out.

[Lester_leaps_in]

I didn't see the PBS thinger, but I did buy the Last Man Standing CD, and was disappointed. If I see him at all at JF, it will just be to pay my respects to a legend - The same reason I saw B.B. King last week. We are getting our last chance at some of these icons.

how many times does this make that first Friday is still the best of the 6? Second Fri & second Sat aren't too bad either.

I think maybe it's to get people out on the "weekday"...makes sense no?

[Jordan]

Festvet, any chance one of the days will lure you to the fairgrounds this year?

[Amy Winette]

I'm pretty sure 10 was my max back during my glory years, but I wasn't trying to break any records. That was 2-3 complete shows, 4 or 5 partials and a coupla pieces parts, with an hour or so for looking at crafts and going for food/beer....

I was gonna say 10 and that would really be pushing it!

(I'm just catching up on some threads now) :)

[Amy Winette]

Damn, that's not a whole lotta time! We'll be working in the studio on 5/1, and you are welcome to come ova anytime that day. If not maybe I'll meet you @ Lena's beer tent one day @ the Fest.:D

RT, you'll be at the Patry on 5/1!

[stlbarb]

Wish I'd kept that journal I always promised to start....

i fianlly quit carrying my forever blank journal inside fest. took it several years - never wrote a word. and now i have CRS bad.

[rosetree]

RT, you'll be at the Patry on 5/1!
HELL YES!!!
but I have to put in a day's work before I come over so I won't be there before 5:(

[Amy Winette]

We'll save some food for ya ;)

[rosetree]

[Amy Winette]

Since I don't eat at the patry and you don't drink....we're the perfect patry couple ;)
(say that one 3 times fast lol!)

[Amyloves...]

HELL YES!!!
but I have to put in a day's work before I come over so I won't be there before 5:(

Say it ain't so rosetree! I didn't get there till 4 last year and it was still wonderful but I was wishing I was there sooner. Maybe you can start your day's work a couple hours early or sumpin.

[rosetree]

I thought so too when you mentioned not eating on another thread..LOL..actually, I made a pact with Mrs. Rosetree 17 years ago that she gets my drink tickets and I get her leftovers....a match made in heaven!!:D

The 'tween daze are real important for me to get ready for the Fest...I have tremendous FONHEG (fear of not having enough glass). This year is also a logistics problem 'cause my mom is flying in @ 4:30 on Patry day and needs to get in from the airport.

Next year will be much easier...they usually flip our weekends so I hopefully will show during the 1st weekend and be done for all the 'tween daze festivities!

[Festvet]

i'm a Lucinda fan - but i don't think she's that big outside of the alt-country base. i could be wrong.

only time & the cubes will tell.

ps - yes i just admitted i could be wrong.
She drew a fairly large crowd a few years back when she performed on the old Polaroid (other main) stage

i belive i was there, and it was a middle of the afternoon slot? 3 or 4 pm ish?

but i did just see in People (waiting room reading) that her new album is getting rave reviews.

[Amy Winette]

I'm trying to get my 16yr old daughter to pick her up:eek: (actually ,she's a very good driver...just don't know if mom can take it;) )
I did ask Mom if she wanted to go, but she said she would be too tired:( She's a real trooper---80yrs young and goes to every Jazz Fest! She has her own trainer @the gym and walks 5 miles every day! Y'all will meet her, she likes to sell at my booth when she's not @ the stages;)

[Orleansnj]
