Right click and then you can download. :)

Still no luck for me...

Are you doing it by individual song? Because the zips don't work for me.

I tried both. I wish the zips worked... that would be so tight. I think I started downloading shows either right at the end of the archive era, or right after Weir took the soundboards off.

[QUOTE=robo2448;16811041]I got a few upcoming shows. Bob Dylan on Election Day. Cornmeal that Friday. Maybe 2 nights of Mule in November. I'll try to catch STS9 because Lunch always talks about how good they are. But I have to admit that I did miss Lotus last week. Dylan's the only one I have tickets for but hopefully I'll hit them all up.[/QUOTE]

Saw Lotus for the first time back in October and was blown away. They put on such a great show and played every song I wanted to hear which is always a plus at concerts. Can't wait to seem them again.

I would also highly recommend seeing STS9 next chance you get. I don't know how into them you are but their live performances are practically unbeatable if their playing is on and the energy is there. The atmosphere at an STS9 is really like non other. Most recently saw them up in Milwaukee and had a blast.

I missed out on STS9 cause I have a radio show every Saturday night and had to do that instead. I miss it sometimes for shows but I missed it the week before to see Mule so I couldn't really miss it again. But they'll be back some day.

Black Crowes next week, possibly. If I finish all my papers/exams, then I'll be there. If I don't, I might be there anyways.

The Jan. 24th date is the next show I have to look forward to.. Can't wait to see Bisco live for the first time. This tour is going to rage. Anyone else dig?

Anyone got any good shows coming up?

I'm seeing Neil Young and Wilco tonight, probably some Mule at the end of the month, what do you guys have planned?

Listening to a smoking Althea now from Halloween '79. First Brent show I ever listened to, thanks to Lunch's recommendation. I'll second his recommendation. The Shakedown and Estimated > Eyes are incredible.

I'm not doing anything show-wise until late Jan, sadly.

Everybody should listen to 1966-07-16 - The Fillmore, really good and early Minglewood, IKYR, Nobody's Fault, BIODTL, Cold Rain, Baby Blue, Dancin'.

I'm gonna see umphrey's mcgee on the 30th, would see em 31st, but i'm sixteen and it's 18 and older. I've already seen Umphrey's three times and i HIGHLY recommend them. They put on an intense show, good dancing, and fantastic if slightly showy musicianship.

Haha it's funny cause yesterday my brother and I were talking about Umphrey's is a band that we never listen to, but have a ton of their stuff on our computers. Honestly, I just get no emotion or anything special out there music. They're just insanely good instrumentally. I saw them live once last winter and I had a pretty good time- I was impressed by their musicianship, but nothing else. It was a pretty good show, but because there was nothing special or emotional about it or about their music for me, I can't rate them too highly. Having said that, I'd probably pay $20 or so to see them again if tickets were that cheap.

Yeah, Umphrey's just really doesn't do it for me. Like people have been saying, there is no doubt that they are talented individuals musically-speaking. But they are getting way too overrated in the scene. People make such a big deal about Umphrey's and I don't get it at all. Their music just gets too monotonous and boring for me.

I saw them last summer with STS9 opening and Sound Tribe just blew 'em away. Definitely will not be attending their New Years run in Chi-town.

Funny I saw Umphrey's with STS9 in a sort of double tour where they each played a set, and I'm pretty sure every single person i've talked to said Umphrey's blew STS9 away. I don't really want to start a "MY FAVORITE BAND IS BETTAH THAN YOURS" discussion, I just like Umphrey's better, I'm actually not a fan of STS9 at all so to each their own.

Robo, do you really find nothing special or emotional about Anchor Drops, In the kitchen, Jajunk, Wife Soup, The Bottom Half, Higgins, Divisions, Nemo, or Words?

If you haven't heard those songs i suggest you give them a listen, because i understand what your saying about their musicianship, but i really think they have something special about their songwriting too. And if you have heard those songs, I'll shut up, i'm just trying to get people to listen to more music.

I agree with this. Except I personally would not pay to see them again. I'm not going to say I hated every second of their set when I saw them because I was still groovin' a bit when they played but like robo said, I just don't get that emotional draw from them that really gets you into the music. And I realize this is merely a personal opinion and obviously others can get that out of their music.

But I'm going to try and keep an open mind the next time I see them because I'm sure I'll see them again eventually on some tour with another band or at a festival. Probably at Summercamp.

I have heard all of those songs, although I'll admit I've never paid attention to the lyrics too closely. They're playing 3 nights in a row at First Avenue in Minneapolis (same place I caught them last year) for $19 at the end of January so I might give them another chance then. And I did enjoy the show a lot last time, you could even say I was blown away by their musicianship, I just don't really enjoy listening to their music on my computer. But live, in the moment, it was pretty fun.

What bands do any of you guys listen to that aren't jam bands? I ask this because anyone who goes to my school who listens to jam bands either only listens to jam bands or listens to super gangsta rap and techno and jam bands at the same time.

I'm not sure if this would go here, but has anyone listened to the new Flecktones Christmas album?

If I'm not taking what you said wrong, then what you're referring to here is sometimes called "Livetronica"

However, it's not so much a mix of techno and jam music, but rather electronica and jam, sometimes with elements of jazz, funk, hip hop, drum and bass, etc infused into one. Some of these bands are specifically instrumental while others incorporate lyrics.

Personally, I find that some of the most interesting and talented bands currently in the jam scene have been categorized as "Livetronica." Now, whether or not these bands can be specifically labeled to a single genre is up for debate, but nevertheless...

Some bands affiliated with this genre that're highly worth checking out:

Particle
Pnuma Trio
EOTO
The Disco Biscuits
Lotus
STS9
The New Deal

Oh sweet lord, there [I]is [/I]a jam band thread.

I've found a reason to return to MX.

Also, I've been diggin the **** out of STS9 lately. Especially their set at this year's Langerado (3/7/08).

Hell yeah man, Tribe is currently my favorite band. In my oppinion, by far the most unique and talented band in the jam scene.

I only wish I would have been able to see them live [I]before[/I] they came out with Peaceblaster. It's really too bad they had to make a sh[B]i[/B]tty album like Peaceblaster and become obssessed with it. I can't blame them though because obviously any band is going to try and hype new material and want to play new songs and such. But I don't even really consider Peaceblaster to be STS9, it's like a completely different ****ing band. They're old stuff is so much different and infinitely better. /end Peaceblaster rant

But yeah man, I just looked up the '08 Langerado set and it seemed pretty solid. Lately I've been diggin their '04 New Years set. Man would I kill to see Tribe on New Years... My friend is going to all four nights this year, lucky mother****er.:smoke:

just heard Tea Leaf Green for the first time

holy **** theyre good

Dude the Mike's Groove from St. Mike's '92 is so insane. Equipped with it's own vocal jam.

[QUOTE=thunderzstruck;16989764]just heard Tea Leaf Green for the first time

Posts like this make me happy.

So does Dead tour '09 even though they're not coming to Minneapolis. I might have to go to Chicago, or fly home for the weekend. Gotta find my way to at least one of the shows.

If I'm going to see them it will be in Chicago. That's probably the closet show to me.

If I go, it will also be in Chicago. Except it sucks that it's going to be at the Allstate Arena. I wonder how much tickets will run for..?

And for anyone else interested in Dead tour '09:

[url]http://www.dead.net/dead09[/url]

Denver for sure.

Tickets probably in the 60s range sadly.

[QUOTE=UmphreysHead;17001958]Denver for sure.

Tickets probably in the 60s range sadly.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, they may even be more. We'll see...

I still haven't decided whether I'm going.

The next few shows I have lined up are:

The Disco Biscuits/RJD2 - Jan. 24
Galactic - Feb. 6
Cornmeal - Feb. 11
Thievery Corporation - Feb. 20
Dark Star Orchestra - Feb. 26
STS9 - March 13

Jebus everybody, Phish tour dates announced! I'm seeing them at alpine both days for sure, who else is all over this?

Check out the new issue of Relix magazine, theres some sick interviews with members of The Dead by other jamband musicians. And you don't even have to buy it cause its freakin' FREE online. Dudes, check it out...

[url]www.relix.com/free[/url]

Yes! Just found out today that my friends got their early requested Phish tickets, Phish already sent me an email saying i didn't receive any, but my friends got enough for them and me!

Gonna see Phish at alpine this summer, anyone else?


P.S. who's heard the new Umphrey's Mcgee album? It's really good with just a few parts that are kind of misses for me.

Don't have the funds right now to even think about buying Phish tickets..

But if I did want to go bad enough I would see them at Alpine on Sunday night, which is the last night of the tour.

Just got back from seeing EOTO. F[COLOR="Black"]uck[/COLOR]ing ruled.

[QUOTE=Doctor D.;17117162]Just got back from seeing EOTO. F[COLOR="Black"]uck[/COLOR]ing ruled.[/QUOTE]

Nice man, hopefully be seeing them when they come in April. I haven't seen 'em yet but I hear they put on a damn good show.

Oh yeah, and why has THIS not generated any discussion!?:

http://www.rothburyfestival.com/festival/artists.php

To put it simply, Rothbury is going to be EPIC this summer.. Who's goin? And which bands playing have drawn you in the most? :!

For me The Dead, Cheese, Yonder, Disco Biscuits, STS9 (2 nights), Lotus, EOTO, and others sealed the deal

The lineup is pretty exciting, seeing The Dead and Bob Dylan in the same weekend would be very cool. Along with Mule, Jackie Greene and a bunch of other non-headliner bands. Also, a lot of those bands tend to be electronica/trance-based which is not really my thing. Not too hyped about the String Cheese reunion though, never really got into them and pretty much all their stuff i've enjoyed tends to be from 2000 or earlier. Plus at least where I'm from, SCI seemed to pick up a chunk of that DMB/OAR crowd, and that could damper the festival experience a little bit. Having said that, I think it's on the same level as the Bonnaroo lineup or higher (especially in terms of headliners) and can't imagine anyone going there and having a bad time.

But I'm perfectly happy going to mountain jam instead.

Anybody else the news about the second part of Phish's Summer tour? Four nights at Red Rocks, I'm so stoked.

ah man thatd be so awesome. id love to go to red rocks but i wouldnt be in school at that time so i dont think id be able to make it

been getting into the allman brothers (blue sky is a beautiful song) and i picked up Dicks Picks 3 yesterday. Pretty solid

Yeah Phish at Red Rocks should be pretty incredible. i live nowhere near red rocks, so it's not happening for me, but have a good time. I've never seen Phish before (got into them right after their final tour) so I'd like to make it to a Phish show somewhere this summer.

I am kicking myself for being in New York City right now and not going to any of the Allman Beacon shows. I'm missing out like crazy. Clapton sat in with them the last two nights...

I'd like to catch Phish this year but some old hacks + Warren Haynes took all my money.

I'm partially kidding. Phil, Billy, and Mickey are cool. I'll be in the nose-bleeds in Chicago watching Bobby murder a bunch of great songs, and probably having a damn good time.

Rothbury is nuts but it's too expensive - I'm gonna try to do their Work Exchange Program but other than that I wouldn't be able to make it. I think I'm going to 10k as well, not the greatest overall lineup but two nights of PANIC is gonna be huge.

I agree with Robo and the other guy who were talking about Umphrey's, you said pretty much exactly how I feel about them. I tried to give them another chance last week but they just don't do it for me. Too much talent and just no musicality.

How's everyone been? Seeing some good shows? Robo you're crazy, but there's still time (maybe, I have no idea what the ticket situation is like). I heard Phil and Bob are gonna be with them on the last night, or something like that. I caught a bunch of DSO shows over my "spring" break. Toledo, then Cleveland>Chicago>Milwaukee. Tons of fun. I've been reaaaally into Widespread Panic too. With Jimmy Herring they're bringing the heat again. See them if you get a chance.

Edit: Ghostfire, were you at the Chicago DSO show? They were on that night. Second set was fire the whole way through. Awesome China>Rider in the MIDDLE of the first set too.
