It looks like I'm going to see Wooten, which should be really awesome but I really wanted to see DSO. My dad said he didn't want to see a Dead cover band because he saw the real Dead, but I don't know what the hell kinda reason that is.

Anybody see South Park last night? They made fun of Hippie Jam Festivals.

Yea, I saw it. I actually liked the song they were playing at the festival :(

[QUOTE=Jaded]Anybody see South Park last night? They made fun of Hippie Jam Festivals.[/QUOTE]


that was awesome. phish was playin at one point, or at least i assumed so by the singer/guitarist having shaggy red hair. then they played raining blood to get rid of all the hippies. wicked funny

"This music is so...angry. Let's quit this angry scene."

yea the Phish animations were pretty good. They made Fishman with Viking cap and all

I'm ****ing ecstatic right now, check out the May 29th and 30th dates. I'm so stoked, Donna the Buffalo is playing a week before too.

I got the Golden Road today for $70 :D

Tell me if I'm making a fool out of myself but is that the big Dead boxset?

Yes, It's 65-73 then there's Beyond Description is 74-something else.

[QUOTE=jpjrulestheworld]I got the Golden Road today for $70 :D[/QUOTE]

Grrr... I got [I]Warts & All 4[/I] - moe. today and a moe. shirt :D

I need to get Warts and All 4.

All I have is No Doy, I'm scared to get something else after starting out with their best album.

Get any out of the Warts and All series. You definitely won't be dissappointed.

DSO is insane, close your eyes and you'd think it was Jerry and Bob onstage. The first time I went, I went because my best friends' dad plays the Bob Weir role, I assumed they would suck. Far from it. I have since gone to several more, and even downloaded songs, and when compared to my GD recordings, they fair pretty well. I saw the The Dead this summer, and I would much rather see DSO (backstage passes and free tickets also play into that decision)

I was bummed out when my dad said that he didn't want to go :( But I still get to see Victor Wooten :)

Me too. In Chicago.

Wheres yours? Oh, and I hear it's insane because he has his brothers along.

In Pittsburgh at Mr. Smalls Theatre, same place DSO was gonna be.

Anyone seen Medeski Martin and Wood? I went to a free concert last year in Pittsburgh and I must say it was 2 and half hours of some of the best nonstop free form jazz.

I saw them early this year, they really put on a good show, I bought their CD afterwards I like it alot Friday Afternoon in the Universe.

They had a free show in Pittsburgh :eek:? That would've been before I even knew about them anyway. Rusted Root had a free show on New Year's Eve, but I couldn't go :(

Yeah it was a great show. I had only listened to them for about 3 months before going and seeing them. It was worth getting stuck in a huge traffic jam right outside of Pittsburgh due to construction. Oh I almost forgot, me and some friends got to meet them. We kind of ambushed them as they walked to their bus about 10 minutes after the concert ended. No one else was around so we got pictures with them, well John Medeski and Chris Wood...which unfortunately I don't have a copy of. They seemed to be pretty cool guys. I got to meet Billy Martin seperately but he seemed kinda tired and pissed. He did just get done playing 2 and a half hours straight though. It was a pretty cool experience in all though. I'll never forget it. :thumb:

I got that e-mail, no festivals :( But I know Pittsburgh has a blues festival and The Edgar Winter Band is gonna be there. Also, Wheeling, WV has a blues festival and The Levon Helm Band is gonna be there. So I might try to go to those.

I might be going to that festival in Lawrence Kansas, as well as summer camp in Illinois with moe. and Keller (and more)

Yeah, I might go see Victor Wooten in Philadelphia. It should be a good show, Wooten is a nasty bassist.

The Black Crowes are coming here, but I'm gonna be in Orlando :(

Black Crowes > Orlando

I was planning on seeing Addison Groove Project on April 8th...but I have prom that day :\

May will make up for it, Donna the Buffalo then Dark Star Orchestra plays two nights in a row, although I'm only going to one of the shows.

Anyone have any jam band t-shirts?

All I've got is Allman Brothers Band, Phish coventry tie dye, and a Gov't Mule tour shirt.

I have 2 phish shirts, a grateful dead, and 2 bonnarroo shirts.

Could anyone reccomend me some more material by Jimmy Herring and any of his projects, I just listened to [I]Blue Light Rain [/I] and it is amazing how great he is. Any help woudl be appreciated.

Jimmy had Played With
---------------------------
Solo
Phil Lesh & Friends
The Dead
(Col. Bruce Hampton &) The Aquarium Rescue Unit
Frogwings
Project Z
Jazz is Dead
etc

Recommend Albums
------------------------
[B]Phil Lesh & Friends - There & Back Again[/B] -Though Warren is the dominant player (not skill wise), I'm never up set with the album because of that. I do not love the album for its technical instrumental work. Everything jells, is upbeat, and massively satisfying.

[B]Project Z - s/t[/B] - Here is an album that will show the technical ability that both Jimmy Herring and Jeff Sipe with hold. The album is much different compared to any other project Herring participated in. It is also instrumental.

[B]Jazz is Dead - Laughing Water[/B] - My favorite of the two J.I.D. albums I have heard. It usually gets the lowest rating, but I do not see why. It lacks Billy Cobham, but makes up for it with the addition of Jeff Sipe and Rod Morgenstein. This is the album that really got me into Jimmy Herring.


[B]Col. Bruce Hampton & The Aquarium Rescue Unit - Mirrors of Embarrassment[/B] - My cousin owns this album and I love it. That groups ability to mix Jazz, Blues, Bluegrass and a variety of other genres is amazing. Col. Bruce leads the album great, and each members' technical ability is fantastic. Oteil Burbridge, Matt Mundy (Amazing), Jeff Sipe, Jimmy Herring, Col. Bruce Hampton; awesome.


I am so glad you are getting into him. I have been trying to show people his skill and the fabulous bands he plays with, but they just ignore him. His only fans I know (Other than you, now) are my guitar teacher and I.

The only jam shirts I have are a moe. shirt and a Grateful Dead shirt. But almost all of my wardrobe is a band shirt. If it's not plain it has some band on it. I am planning on ordering another Dead shirt and a Phish shirt here soon.

[QUOTE=Jam2Me]Have you been to both Bonnaroos so far?[/QUOTE]
