Mountain Jam comes to a close

Another great Mountain Jam folks!

The festival may be over but we've got a lot more for you to check out on the blog. I'll be posting more photos and video right here so keep checking back often in the coming days.

Hope you have enjoyed the live blog coverage. We had an amazing time bringing it to you. Those who were here all weekend can now go back and relive some of your favorite moments of the festival.

Feel free to send me your photos, video or stories and we may just share them on the blog.

Thanks to everyone for making this a very special weekend! And thanks to Radio Woodstock and Warren Haynes for being such gracious hosts!

We hope to see you all back again next year!

Mountain Jam loves Spearhead!

For a third consecutive year Michael Franti whipped the mountain into a wild frenzy. It wasn't long before people were waving their shirts high in the air. It's an amazing sight to witness thousands jumping in unison as one, the energy at the heart of it... awe-inspiring.

Richie Havens

Richie Havens delivered an inspirational set of classic songs

and thrilled fans young & old!

We had a chance to pay tribute to the 40th Anniversary of the Woodstock Festival this year. In 1969, Havens opened the Woodstock Festival, although he was initially scheduled to appear fifth on the bill. His performance received continuous ovations and he kept playing encores until he ran out of songs. Finally, he decided to improvise a version of "Motherless Child," to which he added a verse with the word "freedom" repeated over and over; the song was featured in the Woodstock film, and became an international hit.

Derek Trucks Band

It was Derek's turn to pull double duty today. The DTB took the stage early in the day and boogied through a tight set. I love the new tunes and the band seemed to be having fun up their looking out at the mountain side. Is their any better slide man alive today?

Michael Franti ~ Awareness Village

Once again Michael wowed the tiny Awareness Village Stage. Last year's appearance and his sharing his message of hope and social awareness caught a few people by surprise. Not this year, The AV stage was packed and they got one great acoustic performance.

Dino... Version Two Dot Oh yeah!

is it Sunday already?

Another perfect day about to get underway. Late night was rockin' again last night with Karl Denson & Tiny Universe outside, U-Melt in the Lodge, BuzzUniverse & Pimps of Joytime in the Campground. Warren of course made it over to hang with his friend Karl D and return the favor of a guest sit-in jam. The air was very cool & crisp but the jams were smoking hot.


As you can see from the setlist (posted down below here), Warren always plays very special shows for us here at Mountain Jam. You can tell how much pride he has in this festival. It shows big time by his performances with Gov't Mule year after year. Just a glance at that second set reveals just two songs penned by Mr. Haynes the rest were classic covers jammed to the fullest!

Today is Anniversary Sunday if you will. We are giving a big nod to the original Woodstock festival with appearances by a few people that played the festival 40 years ago. We will have special sets by Billy Kreutzmann (BK3) and Richie Havens this afternoon. We're also celebrating The Allman Brothers 40th anniversary tonight with a long festival closing set 7pm.

For the third consecutive year, Mr. "How You Feelin" Michael Franti will rev the crowd up and get everybody jumpin' at 5pm. He will also do a very special intimate acoustic set in the Awareness Village at 2:15.

Put your sunscreen on and get your dancin' shoes laced up. We have ourselves a great day in store. Kick back, relax and take it all in!
