i love when artists hook up like that and jam together a little bit sounds like an awesome show

[QUOTE=robo2448;16235262]
Umphreyshead, I can hook you up with Giving Up The Ghost if you want. And when are you seeing DSO? I've never seen them but heard they're really sweet.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, that'd be great man, I don't know if you have AIM or something, but mine is jew with a crew so just message me and that'd be awesome.

I just saw DSO last night it was really really good. I don't know how they do it, but their guitarist sounds exactly like Jerry. Both singing and guitar playing wise.

The set list was really good too, they started out with Feel Like A Stranger, and they busted out The Weight (Pulled into Nazareth, was feeling 'bout half past dead) by The Band and I flipped out. It was incredible. The drums > space segment was decent, but it dragged on way to long. They made up for it by jamming straight into The Other One. The setlist from what I remember (I was on a few hallucinogens and really really high :D) included Feel Like A Stranger, Foolish Heart, He's Gone, Brown-Eyed Women, Queen Jane Approximately (sick Dylan cover), Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo, The Weight, Drums > Space > The Other One. Totally awesome.

Anybody else heard Trey Anastasio's solo albums. I just got The Horseshoe Curve and I was pleasantly surprised, very jazzy and funky. I was expecting it to sound Phish-esque, but I was really happy with how it turned out. Shine is really good too, Tuesday, Come As Melody and Spin are some of my favorite songs.

I've never heard any of his work outside of Phish. I actually haven't listened to Phish in a while either.

The Horseshoe Curve is awesome, man. Page McConnell's solo album is decent stuff too. Check it out.

Yeah, I'm about 78% done getting it. :)

Swampdawamp?

I read about a band called Swampdawamp on IndieMusicStop.com. I trust their opinions, and the band seems to be a southern rock/ jam type. Has anyone heard of them? The review said the album is a "must have"

I found their site, but wanted to see if anyone knows anything about them...

haha never heard of them but, nice name, really.

Haven't heard of them.

Haven't heard any Trey solo stuff either, but I just his s/t from a friend so I'll give that a listen.

The Derek Trucks/Santana concert was pretty nuts. Santana played a lot of new crappy songs but Trucks was amazing and when they both jammed together on Key to the Highway in Trucks set, it was amazing. Trucks also came out for a couple songs with Carlos during Santana's set. Would've liked a little less Santana and a little more Derek Trucks (Santana played for 2.5 hours easily, and Trucks set was probably a little under an hour). And I would've liked a little less new Santana and a few more old songs (Black Magic Woman and Oye Como Va were on the setlist but didn't get played) instead of the new stuff. But all in all it was a good show.

That sounds pretty sick. Trucks always puts on a good show.

I can't wait until this Friday. Phil Lesh!

Home Groan

I highly doubt that, but I'll listen.

Seeing Phil Lesh is probably one of my biggest goals for this summer. Have fun at the show! I'm pretty jealous.

moe. is releasing a new warts & all on the 27th this month. i can't wait! the last one was so damn good. i'm grabbing this one the day it comes out for sure.

They're up to like volume 6 right?

Phil & Friends was so kickass last night. They opened with Brown-Eyed Woman, then went into Moma Tried, and they played a really sick Aligator. Then they went into High Time, and the Casey Jones was really good too. That was the first set.

They opened the second with Feel Like A Stranger, and Sittin' On Top Of The World. There was also like a 20 min Playin' In The Band > 25 min Dark Star that rocked. From there They went into The Golden Road > Uncle John's Band. THey ended the set with Sugar Magnolia (with Sunshine Daydream) and the encore was Dire Wolf.

It was really good, great energy throughout the show. There were a few songs that I wasn't sure about what they were, but they were good all the same. Larry Campbell busted out the Violin for SOTOTW and another song. Jackie Greene was real sick, same with John Molo and the keyboardist. Phil rocked the **** though, his vocals during Dark Star were insane.

Highlight: Aligator, Playin > Dark Star.

Allgood

will be insane

Are you going?

I'm hitting up Sonic Bloom this summer.

hell yea, got my tickets already

the lineup is pretty unreal. I can't wait to see Phil. The show you saw sounds awesome - Alligator! I would also love to see the Golden Road or Feel Like a Stranger, but I really hope he pulls out Viola Lee or Cumberland (or both) at Allgood.

Also seeing Billy K at the end of this month, he's touring with Oteil and Scott Murawski.

It was really nice. Me and my friend were dancing during Sugar Magnolia and this drunk guy walks up to us with a full glass of booze and says, "you guyz like whiskey?". We were like hell yeah and he just gives us the full cup, he was so trashed.

I'm seeing Head To The Hills on Saaturday (mainly because Billy Nershi will be with them), and then Ratdog/Allman Bros. in August, Keller/Yonder in August, Umphrey's/Gov't Mule in August, STS9 in Sept, & Sonic Bloom in June. So I'll be pretty occupied for the next while.

Yeah I'm gonna try to see Billy as well. Should be cool.

check this out. it's some sort of mini show or something by moe. i don't know - i only found it. good way to hype up their new warts & all release for this tuesday though. pretty fun stuff.

1. lazarus
2. spine of a dog
3. so long
4. new york city

don't tase me, bro

I feel so blessed living in Colorado. I'd be wiling to bet we have one of the top Jam music scenes in the country. Not to mention incredible venues. Fillmore + Red Rocks + The Fox = awesome.

pretty lucky seeing alligator

that is all

Yeah I wish I lived in Colorado. Out in New York, we have a great scene in terms of bands playing here, but jambands don't form and grow in New York like they do in Colorado. String Cheese, Yonder Mountain, Rose Hill Drive, Keller Williams (I think)... all Colorado. I'm sure I'm forgetting a bunch too.

Yeah, Keller is from Virginia but we have a lot of awesome bands here too. All of the members of SCI have side projects around here too, like EOTO and Zilla, and Pangea. It's really nice.

Has anyone else read this yet?

Eh Keller's not that good anyways so you're not missing out much by not having him from there. He does what he does very well and it's a pretty cool gig but gets old quick.

So I went to Mountain Jam last weekend... quite a good time. Amazing music all weekend. Warren Haynes is a really special person. Gov't Mule, Sharon Jones, Michael Franti, Levon Helm, and Dark Star Orchestra all killed it. Festivals are sweet.

Don't think i know of any jam bands. what is the best one in your opinion?

The obvious suggestions would be:
Bluegrass - Yonder Mountain String Band, Keller Williams, String Cheese Incident, Leftover Salmon, David Grisman.

Progressive - Umphrey's McGee, moe., Phish (to a degree).

Electronica - Lotus, Sound Tribe Sector 9, The Disco Biscuits.

Badass - Grateful Dead, The Allman Brothers, Phil Lesh And Friends, Gov't Mule, EOTO, Zilla.

Just go to [url]www.archive.org[/url] and search any of the naems and you should be able to find some shows, except for Phish in which case go to [url]www.phishows.com[/url]

TBH I really like Keller, he puts on one hell of a show. Glad you enjoyed the festival, it'll probably be on iclips.net soon.
