I think that a whole bunch of these clues were to get us to Todd Steed's site. Whether that's the end, or the means to more (he opened for REM at some point; the new band is lithuanian, etc) I don't know. You're all the smart ones here!
Todd Steed had just moved back to Knoxville after a couple of years living in Indonesia, when one of his favorite songwriters, Ray Davies, played the Tennessee Theatre.
The show was "unbelievably poorly attended," but Steed was there. "[Davies] just stopped at one point, like it was a fifth-grade class, and asked, 'How many people here are songwriters?'" remembers Steed, sitting at Kashmir restaurant.

I'm back, and very confused about some of this new stuff, but I have a somewhat unrelated thought...
Could there be any significance to the use of the word right - as in, the opposite of left rather than the opposite of wrong? DJ JD has said a few times (er, more than a few) that the "right train leads to answer" and I think people are just thinking right as in correct, but maybe it's the other kind of right. In the clue that was in Italian it said something about people to the right of the point (or something like that) and it definitely was the directional right in that case because the words aren't the same in Italian.
It's really unbelievable how many Zeppelin clues there are. Either they are playing, or they purposely are sending us in that direction to screw with us. Either way, the clues add up to Zep more than anything else.
Somebody fill me in on the Dave Nichols thing. I've seen his name up here a few times, but never saw an original clue and don't know who he is.
What's the story, please?
Thnx
One of the clues was about someone playing in '05 and '07 for different cafe acts. I found out that Dave Nichols sat in with a cafe act in '05 and played with his own band in '07.
Dave Nichols is also in Todd Steed's band, so I think Dave Nichols was just another connection to Todd Steed.

I agree that there are alot of clues pointing in that direction. There are alot of clues pointing in a lot of other directions too. I think the relationship between the PH in Phere and Phish could mean something, and if it is true that other Phish members are already going to be at 'Roo with Yonder Mountain then...
Unfortunately for me, this doesn't make a storybook ending.

I think there are a lot of clues pointing to Zep because we want them to point to Zep. I mean, I want that to be the announcement too, but I haven't seen anything that screams Zep to me. Remember when we first heard the "clouds taste like this" clue and we tried desperately to make it be about anything other than Metallica? We stretch 'em into what we want.

I just checked Phish.com and it says that the two are playing with Yonder Mountain at the Rothbury festival, nothing else. In a related note, Fishman played with them for two other shows....still no mention of Bonnaroo.

If you are trying to go for the answer- go in the other direction away from there. He's our advisor, not the answer man.
Todd Steed has a link on his website to timsteed.com, which he refers to as his non-evil twin. Maybe this is the other direction he is speaking of. djjd talks as if he is 2 people, so maybe his twin is the answer man......

phish.com actually says that gordon and fishman will be at rothbury not bonnaroo with YMSB.
post 39 (In response to being discovered, later removed) It's more complicated, actually. DjJd is, shall we say, has a bit of a multi-personality issue. Shh- don't tell them that! I didn't, I wrote it! Just don't tell them how big that Hairing Is, then. YOU TWO SHUT UP I'm TRYING TO DRINK!
Hairring ???

I just got this private message from djjd referring to my post about Dave Nichols.
"OR VICE VERSA on the dave comment, ha ha!"
I assume he is referring to the comment I made about Dave playing in Todd's band. Originally Todd started out in Dave's band I believe, so there is the vice versa. I don't know if this means we should be focusing more on Dave Nichols or if he was just messing with me.

Strangely, it seems that Smokin Dave in Smokin Dave and the Primo Dopes IS Todd Steed. Dave Nichols is also in the band (I think...), but he is not the Dave it is named after. Smokin Dave is like an alternate identity Todd Steed uses...
I still think we need to know who SDandthePD opened for once in Knoxville. I feel like this would solve the first anagram, which DJJD said would lead to the answer.
