[QUOTE=prsinthismutha]Im refering to the page before (or maybe i was refering to another thread about dmb....and sorry if I didn't explain that well enough). I guess i missed the statement about the jam band part. And I'm not that ****ing dumb to think that Hendrix is a jam band, so take it easy[/QUOTE]

Well, being that songs should be surrounded by quotes, how the hell should I know, I don't even care for DMB. So, calm your [COLOR=White]as[/COLOR]s down.

man I'm not the one making a big deal about it, sorry I'm fairly new here and didn't know I needed " " around it. but neways its over...forget i even said anything

I would say that old DMB could be considered a Jam Band earlier in their career, but not as much anymore.

dmb are a little to poppy for my tastes but i still consider them a jam band. just not a jam band that i like

They're a Jam Band, they may have taken a different route, but they still fit the category. The Spin Doctors are the same way, but not with the same route.

DMB are a great jam band with great early material, but theyve been corrupted by Glen Ballard (everyday) made them too poppy. Luckily theyve strayed from that. If you listen to their live recordings they have great jams. Who wouldnt with that tight of a rhythm section?

Okay Then Lets go to [B]Dave Matthews Band[/B]

My Favorite Song: Jimi Thing
My Favorite Album: Under The Table and Dreaming

I just can't get into his music. I've rented about 3 of his CD's from my library and have listened to each numerous amounts of times, but it just doesn't attract me.

^^What Albums did you rent?

[I]Everyday[/I], [I]Crash[/I], and some live one.

Favorite Song: The Stone or Warehouse
Favorite Album: Crash

I have "Crash" too, but I don't listen to it anymore. I bought it back when I was learning to play the baritone saxophone, and I liked the guy's sax solos and stuff in songs like "Too Much" and "So Much To Say." I didn't care for ballads like "Crash Into Me," and I still don't.

Suffice to say, I think Dave Matthews Band is overrated college/stoner rock. It's like that one line from a cartoon (I think it was "Futurama"):

Fry: So I'm the most important person in the universe? That feeling I get when I'm drunk is true?

Nibbler: Yes, except that the Dave Matthews Band does not rock.

[QUOTE=badmoon349][I]Everyday[/I], [I]Crash[/I], and some live one.[/QUOTE]

No everyday is horrible. Most DMB fans will tell you that. Crash is ok. What I would do is get Before these Crowded Streets and Under the Table and Dreaming and get the entire Central Park concert. Its worth it and might change your perspective.




Favorite song: Ants Marching, Crush
Favorite Album: Before These Crowded Streets

^I would hope so. :)

is anyone into jam band (or any band ) bootlegs? I got into it a while ago after seeing Vida Blue.

^yes i have a moe bootleg where they covered dark side of the moon for their haloween show good stuff.

do you mean phish? cause I know phish is famous for doing the halloween covers (DSotM, White Album)...I didnt know about Moe. Whats the date of the show?

^oops my bad it was phish, they did also cover velvet underground's loaded which was really cool if ur into the vu.

^^Yeah it is an awesome cover of Loaded. Phish covers Freebird using only their voices, it is awesome. It is on the same Live Album as their cover of Loaded.

Yeah its pretty hard not to dl songs for jam bands such as phish, who are famous for great tours that you can only get online. I know there are bootlegs/live recordings but i dont know where to get them.

Okay for the next I am going to do [B]Cream[/B]. I am not sure if you could classify them as a Jam Band or not but they do a lot of long jams especially on Wheels of Fire so you can argue for or against it.

My Favorite Song: N.S.U.
My Favorite Album: Wheels of Fire

ah cream

song: spoonful
album: wheels of fire

and by the way....what genre do u think phish is in? ...and no jam band isnt a genre.

phish is anything from bluegrass,jazz,funk,rock,blues.

I believe people that dont know a lot about their music or, just for simple reasons, would say rock. i actually would list them under jazz funk-rock, if thats at all possible.

^alright thanks i wasnt sure because they combine so many different styles and everything

Cream's not a Jam Band.

[QUOTE=keep on phishin']^alright thanks i wasnt sure because they combine so many different styles and everything[/QUOTE]


sure, anytime.

And in response to badmoon: I didnt think they were either but thats probably because Ive only heard the name and knew that clapton was in it. I figured they were rock but Im downloading some right now to see.





edit: plus I believe a "jam band" is all very subjective. For example: I didnt think Cream was a jam band but kingadmx believed they were. A saying comes to mind; music is in the ear of the beholder.

^This is true. I wasn't really sure if Cream could be considered a Jam Band or not, I really posted that to see what everyone's opinions on it were. Badmoon could you elaborate on why you don't think Cream is a Jam Band.

F.Y.I. - I am not trying to argue with anyone, I'm just trying to keep this thread alive by opening up discussion and seeking people's opinions. :thumb:

Because they do not tour nonstop.

Ah Good Call I forgot about that factor. I stand corrected.

Okay then Let's go with [B]Blues Traveler[/B].

My Favorite Song: Hook
My Favorite Album: Travelers and Thieves

:)

Song: Optimistic Thought
Album: Can't decide between [I]Save His Soul[/I], or [I]Travelers and Thieves[/I].

Favorite Song: Hook & colaboration w/ DMb on what would you say
album:Save His Soul

i got a good site for you. gdlive.com. tons of legal phish and grateful dead bootlegs

Jerry's birthday is coming up. I wish I could go to West Virginia and go to the festival.

Erm... hey. I'm a bassist, and I really like Phish's work (Mike Gordon is great) and Les Claypool's various jam-band projects. Could you recommend something similar?

Thanks xx

^Well, I think if you combine those you get something like moe..

But, check out Gov't Mule's - The Deep End Vol. 1 and/or 2.

^Vol. 1 has Gordon on it, and Vol. 2 has Claypool on it :).

Check out Oysterhead too.
