Brian NJ Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Mighty High Mountain Fest... May 18 May 19 May 20th. Eli & Company (Create A Vibe) have expanded the festy to 3 days this year. It's in Tuxedo Ridge N.Y. and is very well run, with good vibes in abundance, in a beautiful mountain setting. Now I know there's no quarry, and the campground isn't as nice, but I'd put my money on DSO being there for 3 nights instead of the usual at NLQP. Just my opinion. There's just too much bullshit going on over there. I know alot of you love the Ledges but from what I've heard, the landscape has changed over there, and not for the better. I heard alot of very negative stuff from folks who were there last year, some of them active members of this community. There might have been an announcement for a Gratfulfest 13, but imho I don't think DSO will be there. I hope I'm wrong for those of you with your hearts set on it, but I doubt it. One way or another I'm sure you'll find out soon enough. Peace. Watch out for the ticks! They are deadly! Anyway I had no problems with the ledges last year. Always a great place for good music and the security seemed a little less controlling than other years in my opinion. Heard of horror stories bout security but didn't see anything.

Forum MVP gr8fulpair Posted December 13, 2011 Forum MVP Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Potentially unfortunate for the utopia that is NLQP, I will be where the band is. Would flippin' hate to see this one come to an end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jljbirdq Posted December 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Time to beg anyone close to DSO for an encouraging sign that they will play NLQP sometime in 2012 if not put on Gratefulfest. Pleassssssssssssssse? To encourage providing information of value to the band, I for one would be willing to spend more on a ticket if it is about money. NLQP is special. The vibe of the place, the bands, and the guests are special. I still see a 2012 Gratefulfest with: DSO 3 headlining nights PLUS Mickey Hart Band or 7 Walkers Hot Tuna New Riders of the Purple Sage and/or the David Nelson Band Joanne Shaw Taylor NRBQ Little Feat JGB with Melvin Seals Donna Jean Band Greensky Bluegrass Spikedrivers Macpodz David Gans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advisory Board Herdygerdy Posted December 20, 2011 Advisory Board Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Hope all you want kids, but I think the NLQP Gratefulfest run is over for good... As much as I LOVE that place, the end has been coming for many years.. I think that after last year, it sealed the deal.. but then again, what the fuck do I know?

Forum MVP gr8fulpair Posted December 21, 2011 Forum MVP Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 but then again, what the fuck do I know? Seems I remember you said DSO would play Alaska.............................. and then Rob said they wouldn't.............................. and then they did..... sooooo maybe you're just a really good guesser, but on this point I hope it turns out that you don't know a fucking thing....

Guest L~Cat Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 I think its the west coast's turn for some outdoor summer fun. I don't see anything wrong with this spot.... http://horningshideo...lt.php?view=faq maybe combine it with a stop here: http://www.highsierramusic.com/ and maybe here: http://www.oregoncountryfair.org/ yea, I know I'm dreaming. but I don't think change is bad....its refreshing I found myself losing the desire to go to the ledges. Too much hassle and frustration with dancing space and turf the last 2 times for me. If the scene/people were still the same, I'd be into it. Not now. Time for new. Strike another match. Just my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4evergr8ful Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Wow, bummed about that one Thankful I got to enjoy as many gratefulfests as I did though. I hope DSO still does a 3 or 4 night stand somewhere! Maybe time to scout our own location and do our own gratefulfest??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michelle Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 So how would ya feel if DSO played Legend Valley (aka Buckeye Lake) instead? I remember a few years ago, DSO played a Hookahville on Labor Day Weekend... and it was a real good time! So, what if the band played there instead?? Only a couple of hours from the nlqp... and the owner is a great guy... and his security are very respectful, good old boys. He has a great relationship with the local council folks and with the police department, too. The only worry while traveling is the Ohio State Highway Patrol. There isn't alot one can do about them... 'cept be prepared. So, how about Legend Valley for a go?? Some kind of DSO Gratefulfest weekend? either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbjb2 Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 We need a grateful fest and i don't know about anyone else but i don't care where it is.. I don't think we were treated very respectful at the last time around.. I had a grateful time and am thankful for the experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jljbirdq Posted December 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 How sad Rob. I for one enjoyed Gratefulfest at NLQP in 2011. Sooooooooo, how about joining Hoxeyville in Michigan? Or maybe a resurected real Rothbury? I am not saying replace Electric Forest with Rothbury but add a jamcentric Rothbury back to the site. I wonder if this is just a DSO thing and Evan will still put on a Gratefulfest just without DSO? Wouldn't be the same but if the Mickey Hart Band, the Rhythm Devils, Ratdog, Phil & Friends, or 7 Walkers (doubt Furthur would appear) were the headliners, I think they could get something going. In addition, I don;t think NLQP would be in control of the fest, the dead alumni would be in control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
