I've been a massive Creek fan since 2001, but only got to see them when they reunited. That show was at Wolf Trap and they were stellar. Then a couple of years later took my oldest w/ me to the American Acoustic tour, with Julian Lage, I'm w/ Her, & the PunchBros...also an incredible show.
Acoustic and/or bluegrass instrumentation has become one of my favorite ways of hearing music, but I actually prefer it not be old time bluegrass. I'm all about Dawg music, new grass, prog grass, etc., but especially what Nickel Creek, the Punch Bros, the Duhks, Sarah Jarosz, and other artists/bands that continue to move the genre forward.
It's part of why I loved the two-set DMB shows. DMB lends itself perfectly to an acoustic setting. I'd argue that it would be the ideal way for them to finish out their career...transition to ALL acoustic shows. I love D&T, but I particularly miss Carter, Fonz, & Jeff...
