Who would you want to see, in the case that this is not Phish? The track is still clearly interested in hosting fests and actively pursuing it. As stated in other threads, this summer marks the 40th anniversary of Summer Jam (the 1973 1-day concert by the Grateful Dead, Allman Brothers, and The Band. 600,000+ attendees)From the leads in the glorious Shenanigans thread, provided by @Euclid, it looks like we may indeed be getting something at Watkins this summer. So in this thread we discuss who we'd like to see it be. Wish lists, Speculation, rumors, shenanigans, whatever.....

One idea is that Gathering of the Vibes could get the hell out of Bridgeport and go to Watkins Glen instead. They always have the best lineup but I really don't like Seaside Park. It's like a little oasis squeezed in between a dirty sound and a dirtier city.

Bridgeport is shitty but last year at Seaside Park they ran that festival so well. No sketchy locals, the cops were friendly, and I never saw or heard one nitrous tank.

So lets say it's a Further/Allman Brothers festival over the weekend of the 40th anniversary... Who would the supporting acts be?

@patper said:I have to say this year had a real lack of sketch. It was my first Vibes and it was really cool how peaceful it was. And as far as staying in Bridgeport, I read that they just recently signed a contract for 5 years with the city.@Superballin said:Yeah after the guy got killed in 2010 they realized things needed to change big time.

Didn't the head honcho say after last years festival they probably wouldn't be looking to have any more?

No.. When questioned last summer about a phish return he said that "this year (2012) we will be focusing on racing only" that was just for 2012. If you read the most recent interview, (which "confirms" no phish 2013) you'll see he is more than interested in hosting more festivals and they are meeting with different promoters and such. I'm confident something is in the works for this year.
