Alright, how would you rank these? Probably can't make it to all of them and having a tough time deciding.

Ry Cooder & Ricky Skaggs w/ spec guest Robert Earl Keen
Alabama Shakes
Trampled by Turtles / Devil Makes Three
Wilco
Cake

I saw TbT last year and had a blast, so would do again. I want to see REK but how much will he really be out there as a special guest?

1) shakes
2) wilco
3) cooder
4) Cake
5) TbT since you already saw them and DMT kind of sucks

man, what a week of shows. Sturgill Wednesday and Father John on Friday. FJM's new stuff is great live, he was on fire, but his stage persona isn't as mean as it used to be.

Sturgill probably has the coolest guitar player I've ever seen and Sturgill looks like he's gonna punch a rough rider in the mouth when he sings. srsly, folks, don't sleep on tix if he ever comes to KC.

Super jealous. Sturgill is only playing Lollapalooza in Chicago on a day I didn't get a ticket.

Ryan Bingham at the Mishawaka Ampitheater this summer, pretty pumped.

Probably gonna go to Phish in Austin.

Help Abe decide his bonnaroo schedule!

http://lineup.bonnaroo.com/events/2015/06/11/

Only restriction is Run the Jewels is a "definite". Then catching the end of Earth Wind and Fire.

Spracne · « **Reply #136 on:** April 22, 2015, 03:04:04 PM »

Tim Minchin, does that count? According to my research, the previous sentence was the first minchin of him by name on this blob.

Try to catch part of Jungle, too, maybe.

That's not far off what I was thinking. Probably Benjamin Booker instead of Courtney Barnett cause I have seen her but not him. And Songhoy Blues, definitely want to see them

yeah. I think Booker's kinda overrated but I've never seen him so that's a pretty call. never heard of songhoy blues. The lineup doesn't seem quite as strong as the last couple of years but it still kicks a lot of ass and it will be hard to go wrong.

You have to see Flying Lotus on Friday.

Probably will considering it's almost a guarantee Kendrick comes out for a couple songs

mocat · « **Reply #142 on:** April 24, 2015, 12:38:35 PM »

friday: oh my god between the buried and me.

also wtf, how do you choose between alabama shakes, atmosphere, and kacey musgraves? wow

you're not doing tears for fears? how/why not?

will there be one single person at the ben harper show?

saturday: how do you choose between bleachers and bahamas? try to do a lil of both

i agree with rusty on slayer. that is too good to pass up

i've seen bassnectar twice and both times i was about a 6+ and that makes it great. have no idea how anybody could enjoy it at level 1

sunday: obviously MW&MB, and obviously wear your KC gear

go see spoon after sturgill. i've been wanting to see spoon for like 10 years

florence + the machine are great live

Bqqkie Pimp · « **Reply #143 on:** April 24, 2015, 12:46:52 PM »

Got a big month coming up, you guys...

May 2 - The Who

May 14 - Noel Gallagher & High Flying Birds

May 18 - Rush

8manpick · « **Reply #144 on:** April 24, 2015, 03:12:46 PM »

Mostly what they said, although I'd be one of the few watching Ben Harper^

Strand of Oaks is a must on Thursday, and would be in my top 5 for the weekend.
Should catch the end of Childish Gambino after MMJ Saturday
