I saw that show. My second visit to Merlefest, in 2006. G&W played the main stage the day before and had Emmylou Harris as a guest but their sound got lost in such a big crowd with a lot of audience chatter. They following day I was up for watching someone else but my pal Dave wanted to see G&D at the Creekside. It only seats about 250 people and he suggested we sit through the whole of the previous set , a singer-songwriter workshop just to get a seat. By the time G&D came on there were literally thousand of people there, I'v heard estimated of between 3.5 and 6 thousand. As you can see from the vid they opened up the back of the stage which is usually reserved for performers only. There were people climbing trees, and on every available inch of ground at the little Creekside ampitheatre

The show was just awesone from start to finish. They played an entirely different set from the day before, and were both on top form. The crowd were up for it from the start. You could hear a pin drop during the songs. My particular highlight was "By the mark" but I remember the whole show was magical. I've seen a lot of gigs over the last 40 years and that was in my top 5

The line-up for Merlefest 2010 is being announced this Friday. Some people reckon its not the Festival it used to be, but I just love it and have been 4 times in the last 5 years. The dollar is probably not in our favour, but my advice would be, if you can afford it, go!!
