The Official Jam Band Thread

[Daniel!]

The horns from Ozomatli played Ring of Fire with SCI when I saw them. :rolleyes:

Haha. That would be pretty cool.

[Up The Irons]

has anyone listened to MusicLab on XM radio?

its a great jam band/prog station

[jpj]

Chameleon as in Herbie Hancock's version?
Yes, it was quite good.

[Broken Arrow]

Yes, it was quite good.
That show just started to sound even awesomer.

Gov't Mule is playing Toronto Dec.1 too bad I cant go.

[jpj]

That show just started to sound even awesomer.

Gov't Mule is playing Toronto Dec.1 too bad I cant go.
Why can't you go? I might be seeing them on the December 2nd.

[Broken Arrow]

Its a Thursday night and the gig is 2+ hours form me.

[Walrus Gumboot]

I think I might be playing this so called "Chameleon" in Jazz band. The bassline is even sicker when played by a trombone :D

Everytime we play it the conductor says "ok, that was good, now lets play it again, except raunchier this time"

[Broken Arrow]

My respect for your teacher: +

[KMidura]

My respect for your teacher: +
I know it was a teacher who first suggested to Greyspoke Variety to cover it, and it was a huge success

[jpj]

Gov't Mule is playing with Tea Leaf Green when they come to town, hope I can go.

[Broken Arrow]

I have one of there bootlegs. (Tea Leaf Green) It's pretty good.

[tmb72187]

anybody manage to see any of blues travelers fall tour? i saw them in DC and baltimore, they're sounding awesome these days.

[Walrus Gumboot]

They did a free show around here and my stupid parents wouldn't let me go. Hobags.

[KMidura]

Greyspoke Variety Live at the Pinnacle's second set is now up on Archive.org, I highly recommend that you give it a listen, if you've never heard them play before simply listen to the first two songs of that set and you'll be hooked. Also, I should have a concert up from July that I haven't posted on here on YSI, and that should be up in a week's time. Not the greatest recording, but it does include the March of the Panda's which hasn't been on any other recordings.

[KMidura]

Newest Greyspoke show has been uploaded, and now just has to be approved by archive, should be downloadable at the latest by tommorow night, please give it a listen, and you shall not be disappointed.

[KMidura]

Hot Buttered Rum String Band is out here Saturday, anyone seen them, I've heard of them, but never actually heard their stuff. How do they compare with Yonder? Anyway, any insight would be nice, thanks.

[Broken Arrow]

Haven't heard of them. ^ Triple Post.

[GypsyTrane]

have any of you ever been to nugs.net? it's a free bootleg site devoted to jambands. i noticed y'all talking about where to find DLs. i've gotten countless shows from this site.

as for my favorite jamband.....
PHISH!!!!!!
fav song- Antelope
fav album- Junta

and then there's my second favorite jamband.....

GYPSY TRANE!!!!!!

[jpj]

I used to go to nugs all the time, but not so much anymore.

[Broken Arrow]

I used to visit nugs alot too. Last time I was there they had alot of downloads though, I got a Victo Wooten one.

[Daniel!]

Nugs is where it's at.

[wanton]

True. True.

They just had a very large update, also.

[Daniel!]

Holy crap that is a big update. Cool.

[jpj]

What's everyone's opinion on Bastardos!? I'm listening to "She and I" right now and it sounds more like Chicago than Blues Traveler. Kinda freakin' me out...

It's certainly different.


Attention everyone: If you have bought or plan on buying Trey Anastasio's Shine, do not copy it onto your computer. It contains that crazy spyware that Sony brilliantly put into their cd's. Just thought I'd let you know.

[Jam2Me]

I'm seeing Trey this Saturday. So many people from my school are going I'm shocked. I know people going just to hang out in the parking lot. It'll be a pretty solid show, hopefully.

[insult masta]

hey!
I'm new

My Fav Musicians:
Dave Matthews Band
Miles Davis
Phish
John Williams

[insult masta]

Has anybody else seen the DMB live in Central Park? I thought the "Cortez the Killer" cover with Warren Haynes from Govt Mule was excellent! Anybody else think so?

[jpj]

It's certainly different.

I almost bought that yesterday, but I saw this big sticker on the back talking about illegal reproduction or something and it freaked me out.

But I want to know why no one like the Consumer Protection Agency has filed suit against Sony for basically invading their customer's privacy.

[wanton]

Speaking of Trey, here is his performance on the Conan O'Brian Show.

I guess Conan's been having some intese guest artists lately, he had Neil Young on a few weeks ago

[KMidura]

Anyone else going to see Dark Star Orchestra on Friday?

[wanton]

I think I'm going to get to go to Panic on December 31. :thumb:

On a different note: Little Feat rocks so much and doesn't get as much recognition as other 70s bands.

[jpj]

Phil Lesh on Tuesday :D

And yes, Little Feat is awesome.

[Kaleidoscope Eyes]

I freaked out a little when I saw post #1291


I saw someone from Little Feat a few years ago, in someones living room. I forget who, and I was really bored, but maybe somone remembers

[Broken Arrow]

Haha did you think some hacking was going down?

[Xen]

No mention of King Crimson is this thread? They're a great jam band when they play live. They'll improvise in the short breaks between parts like in 21st Century Schitzoid man and they'll play riffs in different and weird time signatures. Awesome live band.

[Badmoon]

King Crimson is not actually a "Jam Band".

[Jam2Me]

Phil Lesh on Tuesday :D

And yes, Little Feat is awesome.

Phil Lesh this Tuesday or was that an old post?

I'm seeing Phil Lesh this Tuesday though..pretty pumped.

Eh? How was it? I am still kicking myself for not being able to go. Give me all the details :D

[KMidura]

Greyspoke Variety is opening for Dark Star Orchestra at Higher Ground at New Year's.

Should be a sick show

[wanton]

Has anyone listened to My Morning Jacket's album Z?

It's Jambase's top album of 2005 and the reviews make it sound good. I don't even know what type of music MMJ plays.

[Broken Arrow]

I've heard of the band but I haven't heard anything by them.

Why don't you visit CR anymore Wanton?

[wanton]

I've heard of the band but I haven't heard anything by them.

Why don't you visit CR anymore Wanton?

I try to keep up but it moves too fast and I get busy.

I read the last few pages when I get the chance.

[KMidura]

DSO put on another epic New Year's show. With many an epic song. Best performance of shakedown street that I've ever seen.
...and with Greyspoke playing in between sets, we were treated to 6 1/2 hours of music of glorious and mind-bending music.

[Pirate Satellite]

My Morning Jacket is really, really, great. One of the best live bands I've ever seen and incredible studio albums, too.

If anyone wants some of their stuff, IM me at Piratesatellite. If anyone has anything to trade, (especially the new Phish show,) that would be even better, because I'm running low on jam band music. I have four MMJ albums and a live show.

[Jam2Me]

Whot he hell is My Morning Jacket, on jambase they got voted best album of the year by like everyone and they came to a venue near me I had no clue who they were (prior to all the voting etc.)...I didn't think they wear a jam band, the few tracks I downloaded made me think they were like Death Cab For Cutie or something.

[jpj]

I saw one of their videos on digital cable and from what I remember it had like a reggae-ish feel to it.

[wanton]

Trey's Shine didn't even make JamBase's top ten and I know it was better than The White Stripes.

Lately Jambase has been using the term jamband too loosely. I know it's definition is broad, but there are limits.

edit: I can send anyone My Morning Jacket - Z if they want to hear it. Pretty overrated IMO

[Jam2Me]

If you could e-mail it to tmctague@gmail.com I'd greatly appreciate it. :D

[jpj]

I'd like to hear it as well.

wartsandall AT gmail.com

[Pirate Satellite]

Yeah, Z might be a little overrated, but I think At Dawn, The Tennessee Fire and especially It Still Moves are genius albums. It Still Moves is the jammiest they've ever been, and I'd argue it's the best.

[KMidura]

Greyspoke Variety will be playing at Nectar's Friday the 13th, I suggest that anyone who is in the area go and prepare to have their face melted.

[cosmic mule]

I love the spirit of these type of bands, although I think the main factor would be the improvisation among the different musicians of the band. I mean, be bop wouldn't be "jam band" stuff, but "A love supreme" and many jazz aproaches definitely would. I love that spirit in music. We could even say that the so called "world music" (is there any "non world" music?) has the same spirit most of the times.

So, along with Pharoah Sanders, Jimmy Smith, Kroke, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and many others, I would choose these bands as my favs:

Grateful Dead
The Other Ones
Allman Brothers Band
Little Feat
Frogwings
Derek Trucks Band
Zappa
Dirty Dozen Brass Band
Medeski, Martin & Wood
Gov't Mule
Phish

I'm Spanish, so I've hardly had the opportunity of seeing them live, except for Phish and Gov't Mule.

I remember Phish's visit to Barcelona as one of the best experiences I've had.

[KMidura]

The first set to Greyspoke Variety's Live at the Pinnacle is now up on Archive.org. I recognize that I am biased, but I highly recommend giving it a listen, it will take you to a better place.

http://www.archive.org/audio/etree-details-db.php?id=32894

[cosmic mule]

I've just downloaded the first song and while I was listening to the intro I was thinking "mmm... it sounds a lot like Grateful Dead". Then it became pretty obvious since it's a cover. I like the way they sound. Thanks, I'll check them out. At the beginning it also reminded me of Dickie Betts' playing.

Talking about this kind of guitar players, I forgot to name one my favourite artists among the jam band scene: Steve Kimock. Do you know his music, Kmidura?

[KMidura]

Heard a lot about Kimock, heard his music once or twice, but nothing significant, if you could recommend a show that's on the archive that would be excellent.

As far as Greyspoke Variety goes, they play about 75% originals, and their covers range from the music of typical Jambands - Grateful Dead (Eyes of the World, Feel Like a Stranger), Phish (Mike's Song), Allman Brothers (Whipping Post, Elizabeth Reed)- to random **** -Chariots of Fire, Oh Canada (Canadian National Anthem).

The set that you've heard part of, and the second set (listed on the archive as 2005-08-20) is prime Greyspoke, if you want a quick sampler of some of their originals, I'd say listen to Pale (2005-08-20), Eight (2005-08-18), Babushka's Demise (2005-08-18), and March of the Pandas - 20 minute + instrumental (2005-08-18). That being said though, as any good jamband does, a lot of their music feeds off context, they like to tease songs, and go into and out of songs frequently. So, if you like what you hear, do yourself a favor and download both sets, listen to them back to back, and enjoy.

[edit: grammar and spelling]

[RNR]

I just got Billy Breathes by Phish. Man i'm glad Badmoon got me into them.

[Jam2Me]

Jazz Is Dead is on tour, coming to Toad's Place...see you there if you're going.

[KMidura]

my bad, I'm retarded... combined Derek Trucks and Jimmy Herring into one person, searched to see if the Allman Brothers were playing that night rather than searching to see if The Dead were playing

[KMidura]

Greyspoke Variety will be playing tonight in Burlington, if you're in the area I highly suggest checking them out. I believe they're in Cook, free community event or some such thing.

[6Stringer]

Go to http://www.nugs.net. The 6 hour Grateful Dead music marathon is on... well, it's been on, I meant to post this earlier, but I haven't been home. Enjoy all my fellow deadheads.

[robo2448]

I'm seeing Medeski, Martin, and Wood in Danbury, CT on February 22nd. Should be an awesome show. I've only heard like 5 songs by them and don't own anything by them, but my friend is a fan and he's buying tickets right now. From what I've heard though, I really like their unique jazz sound. Any other fans?

A couple friends of mine are going to that but I don't think I will.

I've only got a couple of studio albums, "End of the World Party" is a pretty good album in my opinion, I think they're on the archive, you could probably check out some of their live stuff there.

Say hello to your confirmed Bonaroo artists. Really surpised to see Radiohead there.

[Broken Arrow]

I wish I could go. :(

Maybe when I get my lisence.

[Jam2Me]

EDIT: Nevermind it's pretty good, but I don't think I'd have enough interest to go. I've most of the artists I want to see on that list, the others would be filler. I don't recall so much filler in past years.

[jpj]

Well, that's not all of the bands that are going to be there, just the ones that are confirmed thus far.

[KMidura]

EDIT: Nevermind it's pretty good, but I don't think I'd have enough interest to go. I've most of the artists I want to see on that list, the others would be filler. I don't recall so much filler in past years.

The filler band's are all very good, but I agree with Jam2Me in that despite their abilities, their styles and music doesn't necessarily appeal to me. To me, Bonaroo is getting more and more commercial, and the music is becoming more and more mainstream. I mean... Bonnie Rait? She's a great artist, but does she belong at Bonaroo?

anyway, just my opinion.

[KMidura]

New Greyspoke Variety:
Not a great recording, but sick musically
Chariots of Fire -> Duncan's House is a great track

http://www.archive.org/audio/etree-details-db.php?id=33420

also, there should be an insane show up within a week or so

Yea, it's good that their trying to include a wide variety of music, but I think they should stick closer to the jammier? stuff. I don't exactly know how to say what I'm thinking. I mean Death Cab For Cutie, seriously? Eww...

[Badmoon]

Yea, Bonnaroo's kind of selling out.

[gregulus]

Yea, Bonnaroo's kind of selling out.
I knew it would happen. They still have several non-commercial artists though.

[jpj]

Umphrey's McGhee (sp?) and The Disco Biscuits were added. I don't hear a lot about The Disco Biscuits, but I really like their stuff on nugs.

EDIT: Oysterhead's gonna be there :eek:

[KMidura]

Oteil and the peacemakers are coming to town, I've heard a lot of good things, and seen Oteil play with the Allman Brothers (but they didn't really allow for him to showcase his skill).

Anyone seen them live, or have a decent knowledge of what kind of show they put on?

[robo2448]

Umphrey's McGhee (sp?) and The Disco Biscuits were added. I don't hear a lot about The Disco Biscuits, but I really like their stuff on nugs.

I didn't like Oysterhead's album. It was too weird for me. But I also only listened to it a couple of times and it was a long time ago, before I got into jam bands and other more psychedelic stuff more. I should give it another shot.

I've loved jam bands for as long as I can remember, but Oysterhead's always been a little too out there for me. Incredibly talented musicians, and I like their separate stuff, but something never clicked.

[sensitiveorgan00]

Aight, y0 y0. Who's going to see Umphrey's Mcgee tonight at Nokia Theater (NYC)?

I am. :cool:

[PinkFreud]

i'm ok with the bonnaroo line up. the only band that i don't want to be there is radiohead.

[jpj]

Anyone seen them live, or have a decent knowledge of what kind of show they put on?
I have one of their CDs and it's very jazzy, so I expect it will be similar to that.

I didn't like Oysterhead's album. It was too weird for me. But I also only listened to it a couple of times and it was a long time ago, before I got into jam bands and other more psychedelic stuff more. I should give it another shot.
I thought the CD was pretty mediocre, but their live show is great.

Incredible setlist, and a soundboard recording for once. Highly recommend this show.

I thought it was actually really good, especially some select songs (i.e. Little Faces, Oz is ever floating, oysterhead, rubberneck lions, and pseudo suicide), and there are like three trey-sounding acoustics on there that kinda bring down the weirdness a bit. And they are three very talented musicians, and i think it was a great mix.

[KMidura]

Anyone else going to see Umphrey's at the Chicago Theatre on the 10th?

[Jam2Me]

DMB tour looks pretty fun.

[CaptainWaits]

So I've recently gotten into Ben Harper. What are some similar bands to his style?? I already know a couple like Jack Johnson and Iron&Wine...

[Broken Arrow]

Nick Drake, kinda. He's from the late 60's/early 70's and not a jam guy but he makes good folky music. He only released 3 albums before his death but his last (Pink Moon) might be the one your looking for if you like Ben.

[jpj]

So I've recently gotten into Ben Harper. What are some similar bands to his style?? I already know a couple like Jack Johnson and Iron&Wine...
If it's his folky acoustic stuff, then yea, you might want to check out Nick Drake. But also, if you like his more electric/funky stuff too, get some Robert Randolph.

[robo2448]

Anyone like Tea Leaf Green? I'm seeing them Friday night. I've only heard one song by them, but my friend's a big fan and tickets were cheap, so I figured I'd go along. They sound pretty good from what I've heard.

[jpj]

I've heard very little, but what I did hear was great.

[KMidura]

I haven't heard them myself, but my friends who have seen them all have very positive reviews

[jpj]

Anyone going to the All Good Music Festival this summer? I will again not be going, even though it's only like a 2-hour drive away from me :upset:

[wanton]

TLG are excellent. Pop rock at its finest.

[robo2448]

TLG are excellent. Pop rock at its finest.

Yeah judging from this live show I just got from nugs, they're great. I'm listening to them cover I've Got A Feeling (Beatles) now. Great organ and guitar solos and solid rhythm section. Can't wait till tomorrow night. Tickets were cheap too, just 15 bucks. Good deal.

jpj, I haven't heard of that festival, but I looked it up on jambase and it sounds pretty sweet. Sorry to hear you can't go.

Badmoon, (or anyone else), have you ever heard of a bluegrass band called Hot Buttered Rum. I've only heard one song, but it was great. I should pick up their cd.

[Badmoon]

Badmoon, (or anyone else), have you ever heard of a bluegrass band called Hot Buttered Rum. I've only heard one song, but it was great. I should pick up their cd.

[jpj]

I've heard of them, but I've never heard any of their stuff.

[robo2448]

No, bu I'll check them out. Good name -- deserves a listen.

I'm pretty sure they've only released one cd and just released it like a month ago, but I was reading something about them on jambase and my music class teacher played one of their songs for us, called Well Oiled Machine. Download it and give it a listen, I was pretty impressed. Good lyrics as well as good bluegrass playing.

[robo2448]

Yeah that's actually where I heard it from too.

Anyways, Tea Leaf Green were ridiculously good. So much good jamming. They really had great chemistry. Here's the setlist if anyone cares:

Set 1

These Two Chairs
Moonshine
Baseball
Papa's in the Backroom
Criminal Intent
Earth and Sky
The Invasion
Country Seduction
Precious Stone
No Blanket
Stormcloud
I've Got a Feeling (Beatles cover)

Set 2

Lil' Hood
Morning Sun
Wet Spot
Las Vegas
GeorgieP
Waiting for My Man (VU cover)
Reservoir
Hot Dog >
Kali Yuga
Just Like Tom Thumb Blues (Dylan cover)
Professor's Blues
Deep River
Asphalt Funk

Encore1:
Planet of Green Love

Encore2:
Eminence Front (Who cover)

I assume the setlist is right because I got it off their official site forum. But outside of a few downloaded songs, I had never heard them before so I didn't recognize almost all the songs. Very long and awesome show. The keyboardist/singer was great. He played some really sweet solos, and had a great country-rockish voice that added a pretty unique sound to the band. The guitarist was brilliant and he was really on fire throughout the show. And the bassist and drummer were able to create awesome funky grooves. They just played together really well. Great show.

And does anyone know U-Melt? They opened the show and they were pretty good. They had some good playing and jams but their singing could have used some improvement.

[KMidura]

Hot Buttered Rum is great, in the same ilk as Yonder Mountain

[jpj]

They're gonna be at All Good this year.

[Is No Amity?]

I listened to "The String Cheese Incident" the other day. I'm not sure I'm quite ready for them. I have to slowly build up listening to that stuff. Right now I'm just at sh*t like DMB and Ben Harper.

I highly suggest you keep trying to get into SCI, maybe get some live stuff since that's where they shine (like most jam bands.)

[robo2448]

SCI are pretty cool. I have Born on the Wrong Planet which is great and some live stuff which is kind of hit or miss. A few inconsistent songs but some performances are great. I honestly think they're a little overrated, but they're still good.

I got tickets to see Tea Leaf Green again on April 22 cause they'll be back here. They were so awesome last Friday I had to get tickets to see them again. Can't wait. Animosity, I think you might actually dig these guys. You can download some of their stuff off the archive or nugs.

[form]

What exactly is a "jam band"

Saosin labels themselves as a jam band on there PV site, so I was j/w.

Saosin=Best band ever.

[jpj]

I'd try to explain, but I'm lazy and Badmoon can do it much better anyway.

Let's just hope he pops his filthy hippie head in here.

hmmm...and where exactly would I find these places?

hmmm...and where exactly would I find these places?
archive.org

[KMidura]

per Wikipedia:
The term jam band is commonly used to describe psychedelic rock-influenced bands whose concerts largely consist of bands reinterpreting their songs as springboards into extended improvisational pieces of music. The term less describes a set genre of music than it does provide a label for vastly different bands for whom the only link to each other is this improvisation.

Anyone looking for a show recommendation, I suggest you check out the show 2006-01-25 Greyspoke Variety at Nectars. The Pale is out of this world, and the sound quality is excellent for once.

I'd also suggest The Breakfast, Raq, String Cheese, Yonder Mountain String band, and Robert Randolph and the Family Band.

TLG rocks my socks off.

I ordered 'Taught To Be Proud' by Tea Leaf Green off of Amazon.com, but I'm not going to have it by this weekend and I think I'm going on a long drive to visit some schools. Is there a chance someone could hook a brotha up? It's ridiculously good and I'd love to have it for the drive.

Of course, I'll give something back in return. I'm arsonmadeeasy on AIM and piratesatellite on soulseek.

[CardCheat]

This is a stupid question, but what exactly is a Jam band? Is it as obvious as...a band that jams?

well damn I could have just looked at the top of this page

[Badmoon]

^Not really

The term jam band is commonly used to describe psychedelic rock-influenced bands

I'd say that's wrong.

[jpj]

Some jam bands occasionally explore psychedelic areas while jamming, but they seem to more commonly draw their influences from roots genres and jazz.

[robo2448]

I think the great thing about jam bands is how diverse they are. You have psychedelic jam bands, blues jam bands, folk jam bands, bluegrass jam bands, jazz jam bands... and a lot of jam bands take many different styles of music and fuse it together to create a unique sound.

I don't have Taught to Be Proud yet. But you could always just get a bunch of their stuff off of http://www.archive.org which is what I do. But I'm actually about to go to the cd store, and if they have it (probably now), I'll probably get it and then I could hook you up. But yeah, the chances of that happening are pretty slim. I've been listening to so much live TLG stuff. They've dominated my last.fm 3 weeks in a row.

[KMidura]

Badmoon, you're in Chicago right? What's Martyrs like? I'm going to see Raq there in early April, and am curious as to what the venue's like.

[robo2448]

Man, there are so many freaking concerts here the weekend 4/21-4/23. First of all, 4/20 is a pretty special day in the jam band world, so there a bunch of shows then. Particle is here 4/21, and I already have tickets to TLG for 4/22. And Thursday night is the jammys, which will have a tribute to Frank Zappa plus performances by moe., Little Feat, Bela Fleck, Blues Traveler, Richie Havens, and a bunch of other bands I'm too lazy to list. Now there's no way in hell my parents will let me go to this on a Thursday night, but it would be really freaking sweet if they did.

Plus, all weekend there's the Green Apple Music Festival to celebrate Earth Day but you have to buy tickets separately for each band, not one ticket for the whole thing.

I already have tickets to TLG, and I probably won't be able to go to more than one show in one weekend, but maybe I can convince my parents to let me go to Blues Traveler or Particle too.

Guys, http://www.jambase.com/headsup.asp?storyID=8179

At the bottom of the article, click the Warmup> Freedom link to see a video of a TLG performance. Freedom owns.

tru

I think most jam bands are like.. jammy. They play as they go, and they make/change songs as they play with each other and kind of see what fits.

[KMidura]

Anyone in the Chicago area should check out Raq when they play at Martyr's on the 7th and 8th

[wanton]

I got Tea Leaf Green's ablum Taught to be Proud and can send it if anyone wants a listen.

Thanks I've been looking for this one, I'll continue my quest based on this listen.

[pianoplyr77]

Anyone heard any Umphrees Mcgee?

They're fricking amazing

[jpj]

I like them. They're a really fun band.

[jpj]

So moe. is coming to Pittsburgh on June 11th, and they're playing for free :D

[Broken Arrow]

Psh, all my moe. got deleted for some reason. :(

32 Things was a great song.

[JonG]

Anyone heard any Umphrees Mcgee?

They're fricking amazing
They're playing here with moe. on May 30th. I will be there.

It's going to be hot as hell, as well as an outdoor show.

Umphrey's is playin' from 6:30 - 8:30, and I think moe. from 8:30 - 10:30 or something.

[KMidura]

I like Umphrey's way more than I like Moe. Not that it really matters, just thought I'd thow it out there.

I did see Moe open for the Allmans this summer at SPAC, and wasn't overly impressed.

[Pirate Satellite]

I like moe. live. I haven't seen many jam bands, though, so I might be the wrong guy to ask.

Tea Leaf Green's studio album didn't move me like their live stuff. A little disappointing.

[KMidura]

In the same vein, North Mississippi Allstars are great live, but I didn't like Electric Blue Watermelon And when I saw them live they played most of the songs on that album. A lot of Jam Band songs just simply don't translate well to the studio.

[jpj]

You didn't like ELB? I love it lots.

[Crumbumonkey5]

Sorry, the Dead are much more important.

Song: Sugar Magnolia
Album: Europe 72

[KMidura]

You didn't like ELB? I love it lots.

I love most every song on the album... live. I guess the problem was that I had been introduced to all those songs in concert, and they just don't even come close in a studio format. Also, it felt like an extremely short disc (I don't have it in front of me, but I don't think the overall playtime was over 60 minutes). The other part might have been that it was so hyped that my expectations were way to high.
[Edit: overall play time on ELB is only 49 minutes, with 11 tracks. Way too short of songs for my liking. I know it's studio, but even still...]

"Sorry, the Dead are much more important.

Song: Sugar Magnolia
Album: Europe 72"

We'll discuss the Dead, but you have to give us something to discuss.

[robo2448]

I'm listening to EBW right now. I like the Hill Country Revue live album more, but I'm still a big fan of this. Mean Ol' Wind Died Down is great. I hope I can see them live.

[jpj]

I had the chance to see them last year, but I didn't go :-/

And I usually prefer shorter albums because unless the album is really amazingly good, I usually get bored or just stop paying attention on longer albums.

[KMidura]

I see that many of you guys have signed up for the Blues mailing list, and while that covers many similar artists to jambands, I was wondering if we shouldn't also start one. If enough people voice interest I'll take up the initiative.

On a side note, most unfortunately YSI has stopped allowing up to a gig for free, in fact, it's down to 100 mb. So that wonderful system no longer works. I've got a friend who I share music with frequently, does anyone know a similar system that works well?

[jpj]

You mean a site like YSI? There's megaupload, but downloads are slow, and it has pop-ups. Then there's rapidshare, but you have to wait like 80 minutes between downloads, and there's one more I know of, but I can't think of the name.

[wanton]

I'd contribute if we started a mailing list.

[Mr. Night V2.0]

Anyone here listen to Steely Dan?

[JonG]

We could start a mailing list, except most of the jam bands are on Archive.org for bootlegs. :)

[robo2448]

Yeah I was going to say what Jon said about tons of jam band stuff being on the archive. But I'd definitely sign up for and contribute to a jam band mailing list if anyone starts one.

Steely Dan is great. All I have is Aja but it's really good. For some reason, they're a band I never bothered to check out on my own, but someone sent out Aja and I enjoyed it quite a bit.

sendspace is the other filesharing program.

TLG tomorrow night. w00t!

[KMidura]

We could start a mailing list, except most of the jam bands are on Archive.org for bootlegs. :)

I'd imagine this mailing list would include stuff that isn't/no longer allowed on archive.

eg. Commercial releases [Dick's Picks/Live Phish], Phish shows, GD soundboards, Allman Bros. shows, North Mississippi Allstars shows (I was shocked when I found out they weren't on the archive)

[JonG]

I'm up for it. I have around 40 Deadlegs by now and about 6 Dick's Picks.

[PinkFreud]

I'd definitely be down for it. I've got a ton of live Allman's and what n ot.

[jpj]

I could contribute, I have an Allmans Instant Live, some Dick's Picks, some Wartsandalls, and we could do studio albums too.

[KMidura]

jambandmailinglist-subscribe@yahoogroups.com


you may have to register an account with Yahoo, but that seemed relatively low hassle for the ease.

[PinkFreud]

What do we need to do?

[KMidura]

All you have to do is send an email to the one listed above, and it'll put you on the mailing list.

After doing so, it will send you an email back detailing how to send a message to the group. I'm pretty sure that all that's involved in that process is sending your email to the address jambandmailinglist@yahoogroups.com, and then it sends it to all on the mailing list. However, you do have to be subsribed in order to do so.

My thoughts are, whenever one of us wants to send an album to the listserve all you have to do is upload it to YSI or rapidshare, and then send the link in an email to the group.

[jpj]

Well, I sent an e-mail to it. Now we just need some more people.

[KMidura]

Just to make this perfectly clear, you must email jambandmailinglist-subscribe@yahoogroups.com in order to signup. Then respond to the initial email. Signup, and it will send you the "welcome to the group" email.

Also, does anyone have So Many Roads? I lost the set a while back and I'm real pissed.

I know it's a pain in the *** to send 5 files, and am more than willing to trade other box sets. ie. Dead Live at the Filmore (missing disc 2), a few live Phish albums, a few Dick's Picks, How the west was won (Zeppelin), Closing of Winterland, Allman Bros at the filmore.

On another side note:
Anyone in Chicago, Wailers and the Breakfast are playing friday at the House of Blues, should be a great show.

[Sodak6string]

check out my band www.myspace.com/theeuprising
blues/reggae/classic rock/jamband

[Jam2Me]

Phil Lesh
Mike Gordon
Trey
The Duo

July 3rd for me. I literally double taked when I saw they were coming to Hartford.

I also got Dave and Mule the 29th of July and Allmans and Petty 12th of August. Pearl Jam and My Morning Jacket is coming this month...I'm gonna be flat broke at the end of summer.

[robo2448]

I'll probably be seeing Dickey Betts and the Great Southern 2 weeks from Friday. I'm assuming he puts on a good show, but has anyone seen him?

And The Breakfast are freaking awesome. A friend told me to check out some of their stuff on the archive and I'm very impressed. I hope they're coming to NY this summer. Did they used to be called the Psychedelic Breakfast?

[KMidura]

And The Breakfast are freaking awesome. A friend told me to check out some of their stuff on the archive and I'm very impressed. I hope they're coming to NY this summer. Did they used to be called the Psychedelic Breakfast?

Yes they are awesome, and yes they were formerly the Psychedelic Breakfast. Other bands very similar to the Breakfast on Archive you should check out are RAQ, and the Greyspoke Variety show from 1-25-2006

On a side note, last I checked there's only two of us on this jamband mailing list. How one can say no to free music I don't know.

[robo2448]

I'll check them out. And I tried to get on the mailing list but wasn't really following the directions closely. But I'll get on it when I get the chance tomorrow.

[KMidura]

New Greyspoke Variety recording on archive, and it is by far the cleanest audio -wise and very clean playing as well. It also features two songs that have never been posted before, and a third where the only recording was iffy. I HIGHLY suggest giving it a listen. Only thing is that when it was posted, duplicates were made of every track, I've done an error report, and it should be cleaned up soon, but you can still grab all the songs no problem.

If you have an archive.org ID, and you do give this show a listen, please review it, the guys love compliments, but they like constructive criticism as well. All it takes is to write one sentence, thanks guys, and happy listening.

Sunday of next week I'm going to be posting an Allman Brothers Instant Live from (I believe 7/24) their show at SPAC this summer.

[masada]

I might see the Allman Brothers Band and the Derek Trucks band sometime this summer. May also go to Gabbafest in Macon, Georgia.

When I saw moe. live, they weren't that good. One of their guitarists wasn't there, so Warren Haynes had to fill in. Still, on one of the songs, the groove turned into this massive machine. It ruled.

[robo2448]

The Allman Brothers and the Derek Trucks Band are coming here four days after I leave:(. If they were only here a week earlier...

I'm going to check out Greyspoke Variety since you've mentioned them so many times.

[KMidura]

I'm going to check out Greyspoke Variety since you've mentioned them so many times.

well... obviously I have a vested interest as they are my friends. The main reason I keep bringing them up is because people on this board (specifically Pegwedge) have expressed liking them and there tends to be a long gap in times between new shows going up on archive. Anyway, I'll be interested to hear what you think.

Seems stupid to send the Allman Brothers show over the mailing list, as there is only one other person, so I'll post it here. Switch the hxxp's to http to make the link work.

[KMidura]

The Southpark hippy episode was on again... gotta say, it gets me everytime. Anyone know what band they actually use for the music, I know at one point Phish is clearly on stage, but I'm wondering who they use for the actual music. There was one song that was very straightforward rock-jam, one funk-jam, and a Hendrix-esque jam. Anyway, just thought it was interesting.

[songmp3]

Yes it is possible to listen to any executor but to not understand that it sings, but happens on a turn

[songmp3]

Why I have started to speak about it?

Because I listen as well as English and Russian music. There can be I any words do not understand but I very much to like one Russian group :))
I can even advise you them to listen

Heh, thanks man.

I downloaded some Greyspoke Variety awhile ago and really liked it.

[KMidura]

Heh, thanks man.

I downloaded some Greyspoke Variety awhile ago and really liked it.

Glad to hear it, the one knock is typically that their vocals aren't great which has been true in past shows, but in their most recent show they were definitely solid.

[KMidura]

Tea Leaf Green is coming to Chicago this Saturday, and I'm considering going. I've heard good things but never heard their stuff. Can anyone suggest a good show off the archive?

3/11/05

Try the nugs show too, great quality

[BraveUlysses]

I've become so obsessed with TLG that I've started to hang around there forum a little, and everyone on there said the Chicago show was pretty nuts, so I hope you enjoyed it if you went. The setlist looked quite awesome.

Anyways, best TLG shows: The 3/11 is the first show I got, is their most popular on the archive, and is the one that I give to my friends who are new to them. It's a great show. Definitely not my favorite, but a great way to start out.

My personal favorites are 4/22/06 (amazing + I was there), 4/7/06 (Filmore West, 'nuff said, soundboard on nugs), 3/10/06 (1st TLG show I went too and my first real taste of them), and there late night High Sierra set which is just plain crazy. There shows seriously just keep getting better and better though, so grab one of their more recent shows.

[songmp3]

Do you know about http://www.freewebtown.com ???
as for freewebtown - it is free American web hosting website which is very easy to use.I think this company it setteled in Atlanta.I've been using their service for 2 years.There are many users all over the world.I publish their my photos and music file but there are lot of other things to do.I think this information will be enough I look like an advertisment agen now:))

By means of this site you can make own musical site and load there your favourite songs. For example look my site http://www.freewebtown.com/songmp3
and you will understand about what there is a speech

Thanks for the recommendations, and yes the show was great.

As for the mailing list, I just hit finals week, but am done as of 7 CST today, so it's quite possible I get a show out tomorrow. I'm thinking Live Phish 18, as I just downloaded it, and it's magnificent. The other possibility is a CD I just downloaded which is a Regae tribute to the Dead, very intersting stuff.

That'd be great, anything's appreciated. Basically I've been just trying to send out what I can, when I can in order to spur growth on the mailing list.

[Danger Bird]

Just started listening to Phish.

[morrison357]

Can anyone suggest any goos Phish? I've heard some really good things about them, and feel I should check them out.

[KMidura]

As far as studio Albums go, "Picture of Nectar," and "Billy Breathes" are great, (though most Phish fans will kill me for saying this, "Farmhouse" might even be a good one to try out, especially if you like the alternative music scene) As far a live stuff goes, you might consider "A Live One"

[jpj]

So it turns out New Monsoon has played in some guys backyard in my town (population just over 4,000) the past two summers, but that was before I got into jam bands. They can't make it this year, so the Hot Buttered Rum String Band is playing. It should be pretty cool.

[BaronMauney]

Anyone seeing Phil Lesh & Friends this summer? I'm seeing them tonight with Trey, Mike, and the Duo and am so pumped.

Also, they are showing the new Phish Live In Brooklyn DVD in theaters on July 10th. Check out Phish.com to see if it's playing near you.

[Jiffy]

I saw phil lesh play a bit with Mike Gordon, Trey Anastasio, and the Duo (benveneto russo?), at bonnaroo.

amazing.

[Danger Bird]

Cavern is a good song.

[phishfan]

Hey Guys... I just heard Particle is coming out with a new live DVD and CD next week featuring their 2 new guitarists/vocalists.... Joe Satriani, Robby Krieger, Blackalicious, and DJ Logic also make some guest appearances. It looks awesome. Their MySpace page is full of good stuff… www.myspace.com/particle

[KMidura]

Greyspoke will be playing Friday night (7/28) at The Perfect Wife in Manchester, VT. And have and will continue to be playing at Nectar's throughout the summer.

[JonG]

I'll be seeing Ween on Monday. I don't know if they're conisdered a jam band or not, but they're been at Bonnaroo and a bunch of other festivals.

[mytimecomin]

I saw this band in CT and they rocked my socks off! At first I didn’t know what to expect. However, these guys have some real funky grooves!! I believe that they are now playing around the CT area. There are a couple of good shows of theirs on archive.org. I am currently loosing my mind listening to http://www.archive.org/details/BigM2005-11-19.shnf . The band is called “Big Meat” and their music is well worth a listen!


Peace

[masada]

I'll be seeing Ween on Monday. I don't know if they're conisdered a jam band or not, but they're been at Bonnaroo and a bunch of other festivals. They're pretty much there because stoners love them.

Please comment it, it's only my second review.

do u care if ive ever heard the cd or not?

[dub sean]

whatever floats your boat

[joey1969]

Just a word on this band from Vermont - Assembly of Dust...I grew up on Strangefolk and all the Wormtown Trading Co. festivals and I was skeptical about Reid's new project ever since I first heard of it. In fact, I was downright angry that he left our New England pride because of graduate school, all the complications with Jon's cancer, creative stagnation, etc. Bullshit! The Assembly of Dust is nasty! While their Bonnaroo set in 05' was absolutely rocking - http://livebonnaroo.com/frameset.asp?downloads - I had yet to see them again till Langerado over spring break. They opened up with this new tune off their newest album Recollection, which by the way is comprised of nearly all sweet songs, called "Truck Farm." The rock tune really woke the weary eyed early risers and truly shocked the audience with not only their musicianship and prowess as a raw live act, but also with Reid's ability to continually break out seemingly new, yet always beautifully written tunes. I caught them next at Summer Camp, which saw AOD take over the stage during moe.'s headlining slot for a segue out of "St. Augustine" into the old Strangefolk tune "Westerly." I was speechless. Then two weeks ago I saw them at Mountain Jam, and although the setlist wasn't as rocking as the week before, it still solidified the fact that I am a new wholehearted Assembly of Dust fan. Reid's songs are comparable in their sincerity and passion to those of Crosby Stills and Nash's most beloved tunes, while the ability to discern the different instruments apart from each other is reminiscent of The Band. The point is with these guys is that they play with PATIENCE!!! A skill that most bands don't even dare try to implement into their shows. Sometimes taking two to three minutes between songs, the Assembly of Dust has the ability to fill the soundscape unlike Strangefolk did, though still maintaining the capacity to allow their jams to develop organically into gorgeous climaxes. Please check these boys out, they'll be playing at the L.L. Bean Summer Concert Series this Saturday in Maine and then down the road a bit at All Good. Check out "Whistleclock," "Truck Farm," "40 Reasons," and "Grand Design" off their new album Recollection and I promise you won’t be dissatisfied. You can check out streams of AOD’s new record at http://hybridrecordings.com/recollection/

[Liquid Force]

fav jam band is perpetual groove

[sweboy]

Hey where did this thread come from? I approve anyhow.

[Doctor D.]

I've been listening to a shitload of jam bands lately. Disco Biscuits, moe., Perpetual Groove,Leftover Salmonetc. I've been real big in the jam thing since I went to Langerado. I'm heading over to the All Good festival this year. Can't wait.

[telemore]

i too just hopped on this jam-wagon. i've been into phish for quite some time - my hippie-esque friend got me into them. And I picked up moe. - Warts and All 4 yesterday.

I quite like it, this is my first listen to them so yea.

:)


I feel the need to check the other bands out too.

[Doctor D.]

You should deffintly look for festivals around you. You'll find one, and man oh man you should go.

I wanna go to every festival ever.

[dub sean]

Anyone got any full Disco Biscuits albums they mind sending me? I'm tired of finding random downloads, I want a full album or show.

[Doctor D.]

I've got all three studio albums and their Langerado 07 performance.

The choice is yours.

[dub sean]

Wow! I'll take whichever album you think is the best...not the live one though.
My AIM is smc1ndy, my MSN is sean@dispatch-online.com, or you could upload it to megaupload, rapidshare, or mediafire. Whichever works best for you.
Thanks a lot.
And I'll send you an album in return if there's anything I have that you want...

[Doctor D.]

Disco Biscuits -Senor Boombox

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NF6WOVAW

Also, I saw Disco Biscuits and Umphrees McGee last night. Well, I missed Umphree's, but man, Bisco put on one helluva show. Amazing night.

[dub sean]

I love you. Anything you need from me?

[Doctor D.]

Toss out a couple of recomendations of your favorite albums at the moment. I'm down for anything. Thanks.

[dub sean]

Well if you like the Disco Biscuits I'll upload Sound Tribe Sector 9 - Artifact

[Doctor D.]

No need, I already have it. But thanks alot though. You really don't need to up-anything though. If you have anything by Leftover Salmon or moe., lemme know. Always looking for more of those.

[dub sean]

sorry man, I don't have anything by either of those.

[Doctor D.]

It's no problem. I saw you posted about writing a Dispatch review, and I've been meaning to look into them. Any album would be fine.

[dub sean]

Any Dispatch album?
I'll upload Bang Bang, it's the best.

[Eliminator]

i got some disco biscuits

[dub sean]

would you care to share?
I will upload an album in return :)

[KMidura]

Just got back from Gratefulfest a few days ago... fantastic festival. Saw a bunch of really great bands and shows. Best festival atmosphere ever.

DSO's shows are on archive... fantastic

and here's a great youtube clip of Greyspoke rocking out "Mighty High" with Rob Barraco and Lisa Mackey of DSO

More Archive links, great shows. If anyone else knows where to get some others (I would love to get my hands on the JGB, Tony Rice... oh hell, every show from the whole week)

All the shows from this year (2007 in case you've forgotten) are absolutely fantastic. DSO, Greyspoke, JGB.

[Doctor D.]

It took me a while to find this thread again....dunno why.

But, All Good was nothing short of one of the best experiences of my life. I'd have to say Yonder Mountain String Band, Les Claypool, moe. and the moe. all-star late night jam were the definite highlights.

Amazing, and I recomend it.

[KMidura]

Seconded on the Yonder, they're spectacular...

Greyspoke opens for Tea Leaf Green, September 5, Higher Ground South Burlington VT -- Should be epic

Doctor D., here's Dispatch's 2nd release, Bang Bang.
It's amazing.

Hey man, I know you uploaded the STS9 for me, but by the time I got to it the link was expired. Anyway I could trade you something for it? I gotta a lot of Dead, some JGB, and assorted other stuff, let me know if you're looking for anything.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

moe. might be the most bitchin' jam band of all time. My friend saw them a while ago and said they were the best live act he's seen. I haven't heard that much of them, but i love the energy they bring.

[Lunch]

moe. is ok, but Jake, there's a lot more out there man.

[dub sean]

Hey Lunch, do you have AIM or MSN? I'll upload some STS9 for ya.

[Lunch]

I'm defintley gonna grab that Dispatch and WSP, thanks aot guys.

I love moe., I saw them at All Good (The late night show and their regular show), and they were one of the highlights of the weekend.

And before I forget, Perpetual Groove played at a club near me on Friday and Saturday. Two of the best shows I've been to in a while. Defenitely one of my favorite bands.

[Lunch]

One of my friends goes to USF, and PGroove is like his favorite band. I'm pretty sure he was at those shows.

[Doctor D.]

I pray to god he was. It was seriously spectacular.

Sean, thanks alot for the Dispatch, it's really really kick ***. On a side note, does anybody have any tea Leaf Green studio albums? They're near impossible to find online. I'll up something in return. I got some moe, some Disco Biscuits, alot of stuff.

[Lunch]

Yea, he's seen them like 10 times so I'm sure he wouldn't miss them anytime they're around.

I don't have any TLG albums, I have a couple shows though. One I haven't listened to yet, but 2006-4-7 is pretty insane.

[Necrovore]

Are Colour Haze considered a "jam" band?

Any fans of Railroad Earth in here? I've heard a lot about them and finally decided to check out a show from archive, and these guys are great. Really excellent jamgrass/roots/whatever you want to call it, sort of sounds like older String Cheese.
Anyway, check it out:

Also, thanks to dub sean, I decided to look into some STS 9 shows as well. This one is excellent quality (I think it's an AUD too...really outstanding work by the taper) and these guys are amazing live:

[Lunch]

Saw STS9 a few weeks ago, it was unbelievable

[Doctor D.]

The show was amazing. I think the best I've seen from them(which isn't that many,compared to most of the fans there).

The shows that are comin around me are ridiculous:

October 12 & 13 Dirty Dozen Brass Band and Papa Grows Funk
October 17 & 18 Medeski, Martin and Wood
November 2nd Karl Desnon Jazz Trio
Plus a smallish festival in November, it's in the panhandle, but you guys should check it,
