If the question concerning the lineup was "How do we get all the white trash to come to Little Rock this year? they got the right answer.

Also this thing is a Pablo Cruise away from the most washed up collections of musicians in one place I have ever seen.

I think he is still banned from Ft. Fresh after showing up hours late to a show and passing out on stage.

I always wished they'd have part of it Monday--in times past that's the day we were really looking for something to do over the long weekend.

You don't have to go.

ETA: Robert Randolph and Family Band is pretty cool.

ETA2: Chick Corea and Bela Fleck were in Conway last week. If you know who they are.

ETA3: Too 90's for you probably, but Primus at the Ampitheater May 14th should be entertaining.

just found this tribute to George Jones by Jamey Johnson [link=( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9XEkDquXao)]LINK[/link]. pretty cool. I like his voice and style a lot more than most of the new country music like florida georgia line and luke bryan

well, guess I don't fit in, I like the wallflowers

But they could do much better, however the Memphis in may fest hasn't been much better recently either.

Why don't they get prince? Dude is great in concert.

I will stick to 80's rock for now... eclectic tastes for me.. Prince and 80's rock

I once went when the Commodores were playing. That's right, not Lionel Richie. His band, without him.

I liked the Commodores (with Ritchie) better than Lionel as a solo act. Tight band.

Only one song I like/know by them and you know the one I'm thinking of...

quote:

Easton Corbin


Would go just to see him



Unrelated, Fort Fresh had some good shows the past two weeks. Billy Currington, Brett Eldredge, Chase Rice, and Justin Moore played at the convention center. Back Road Anthem played at Neumeier's Rib Room, that show was PACKED.


ETA: Dierks Bentley is playing June 28th in Fayetteville

Line Up should have been

Blues Traveler
Lucero
Drive By Truckers
Justin Moore
Joe Nichols
Chicago
Steve Miller Band
And throw two shows in for the minority crowd.

As big of a Hog fan as he is, I'm surprised he hasn't played in Fayetteville.


Also, would like to see Eric Paslay.

I think I read once that they book the acts that they have to keep price down. I say jack the price and get some decent acts. It'll keep the trash out because they won't be able to afford it and with better bands, get people from other states to come to Little Rock.
