i've seen a bunch of clips of the 4/17/72 show on youtube... not sure if the whole show is up there or not, but lots of songs are. everything i've seen has been great.

hey guys, just uploaded a show by Reconstruction on my blog- [url]http://chinacatsunflower.tumblr.com/[/url]

One of Jerry's most interesting side projects, live show soundboard.

[QUOTE=robo2448;17559111]Hey guys, I've started a music blog, check it out- [url]http://chinacatsunflower.tumblr.com/[/url]

I've posted some music up there, just put up a link to one of the best dead shows ever, and I'll be posting more regularly.

Just posted another great show.[/QUOTE]

Cool stuff man. Just downloaded Reconstruction from there and waiting to listen to it a little later. Never heard of this sideproject but I'm always down for some Jazz/Funk, especially if it involves Jerry Garcia. Keep up the good work..

[quote=magicbus]Got STS9 and Telepath this Friday, and the Disco Biscuits on the 28th. I can probably only go to one, and I'd prefer to see Bisco but I don't think anyone else can make it, so we'll see. [/quote]

BISCO BISCO BISCO. Ha, just kidding but yeah I would prefer Bisco. They are tearing up this tour, simply put. STS9 (to my surprise) is actually playing some good stuff on their tour but they're still nowhere near as sharp as they used to be and I hear their new lights suck balls.

And by the way, how is the Kalamazoo State Theatre? I'm considering doing a big Bisco Midwest run Kalamazoo->Madison->Minneapolis(maybe)->Chicago(Halloween, SH[I]I[/I]T YEAH)->Urbana,IL

Haha I'm pretty much with ya on that one. I wasn't really that impressed with Peaceblaster and have been hesitant to see STS9 for that reason, but their latest sets sound like they've been mixing it up a little bit. And I did say I would see them the next time they came around since I missed them at Rothbury.

Now on the other hand, I said the exact same thing about Bisco haha. And Bisco tears that **** up. They've got the improv element that I love so much, and that STS9 doesn't seem to have much of anymore. So it basically comes down to this: I can afford to see both, it's just a question of whether or not I can get some people to drive to Kzoo with me to see the Biscuits.

And I've never been the the Kalamazoo State Theater, but it sounds like it would be a cool place to see them.

Also, speaking of Bisco, you guys ever listened to the Above the Waves jam from the New Years Eve 07/08 show? Gets me so pumped everytime I listen to it.

Yep, the Biscuits' ability to jam and improv is unreal. In my opinion, the best imrpovisational act in the scene. Tribe used to improv but I really feel like they've lost the enthusiasm to do so and now prefer to play songs more with their laptops than their actual instruments. Pretty sad considering they had so much ability and potential.

Well, hopefully both you and I will find our way to K-Zoo State Theatre to rage it..

And YES, that Waves from 07/08 NYE is sick! By the way, let me know if you want any headie Biscuits soundboards, ha.. I have a lot from '09 that I would be happy to spread/send your way.:smoke:

Yeah I agree with you on the Tribe, they rarely stray from the normal structure of their songs these days. And if you haven't heard their latest single yet, you may be even more disappointed (but I guess you can't assume what the new album will be like just based on one single).

I'm also down for some Bisco SBDs if you feel like uploading any. I have a handful of shows from '09 (2/15, 4/20, 6/27), but only audience recordings. I've been noticing they are seriously on fire this year, that gives me a lot of hope for these Midwest shows..

Yep, they are on top of their game; pretty much the best they've ever been.I have lots of hope for the Midwest run, especially Halloween in Chicago.

Let me know if you want any shows in particular because I have almost all of the earlier '09 shows. Otherwise I'll post some that I've been diggin and that I think are the choicest SBDS.

The only one I can think of off the top of my head is 1/29/09, cause I saw a sweet video of Story of the World (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEbbb4qDZ74). But if you have any preferences or favorites, I'm down with whatever.

And I don't know if I can get you anything in return, but let me know. Thanks dude.

i saw hot buttered rum last night, it was a really great show. They have a lot of fun playing music and it makes the show a really good time. Great vibe, and some nice playing and singing. Check them out if you get the chance.

I just posted a cool John Cipollina bootleg on my blog, check it out- [url]http://chinacatsunflower.tumblr.com/[/url]

If you don't know who John Cipollina is, he was the lead guitarist of Quicksilver Messenger Service, a late 1960's psychedelic San Francisco band. He's a really brilliant guitar player, QMS could really jam... Jerry plays pedal steel along with Bobby on vocals on some of these recordings... so they are worth downloading for that alone.

added a great Jefferson Airplane show too.

new age jam

STS9... they are an jam band that uses electronic elements to their stage performance and production...

Yo midwest folks, any of you in for Railroad Earth in Chicago or Madison this weekend? I'm trying to make at least one work. Should be worth the 6 hour megabus ride...

I finally got around to listening to Railroad Earth. They're damn good.

Hey Robo, my friends and I are doing Railroad Earth on Halloween in Royal Oak, Michigan. We're going as the Grateful Dead circa the mid-80's. We figure most people there will get it (our Jerry, Phil, and Brent are pretty obvious. I ended up having to be Bob due to my general knack for Bob impressions and potential for wearing cut-off jean shorts with a tight purple polo).

That sounds awesome man, Railroad Earth on Halloween would be something. Wish I was going, have fun.

I imagine you'll be pretty easy to recognize as 1980's bob.

**** I should go to that, Lunch. I don't have plans for Halloween, Royal Oak is like 20 minutes away. How much are the tickets?

Hey Fellas, sorry for the late notice....


Disco Biscuits are coming to KZOO and celebrating their new CD release tour!!!
Join on somewhere if you can.

[B]WED. OCT 28th KALAMAZOO STATE THEATRE[/B]

[QUOTE=magicbus;17601034]**** I should go to that, Lunch. I don't have plans for Halloween, Royal Oak is like 20 minutes away. How much are the tickets?[/QUOTE]

probably cheap enough that it will be well worth it.

In Madison, tickets are $25 and includes Great American Taxi opening along with an after party show by the Macpodz for free. railroad earth seem to like good deals.

[QUOTE=magicbus;17601034]**** I should go to that, Lunch. I don't have plans for Halloween, Royal Oak is like 20 minutes away. How much are the tickets?[/QUOTE]

Yea, probably. I think tickets are only like 20 bucks, and there's a pretty good opening band. Halloween show is bound to be a damn good time too. It's a sweet deal for us from Ann Arbor because the opening band is organizing a party bus that leaves from downtown and for $40 you get a show ticket, ride there and back, and BEER on the bus!

That's solid, doesn't GAT have one of the dudes from Leftover Salmon? Also, the Macpodz are a fun jazz/funk/rock type band that can bring some energy. Definitely worth seeing, especially for "free"

That party bus thing is awesome. Great American Taxi has Vince Herman, the main singer/songwriter/guitarist from Leftover Salmon. I don't listen to Great American Taxi or Leftover Salmon but looking forward to checking them out.

The Macpodz are sweet, I caught them twice at Mountain Jam, real cool stuff. I think they're from Ann Arbor, aren't they?

That sounds like a real fun time with transportation provided and everything. Railroad Earth would be great on Halloween.

Aw c'mon now, I'm a huge Bisco fan and I'm nothing like that or any other Bisco kid stereotypes. Problem is Bisco fans automatically get a bad wrap just because there's some really crazy and/or stupid [I]a[/I]ss tDB fans. Those fans only make up like 50% of the fanbase, others are normal cleanfun-lovin folks who just like to dance and get down:smoke:

Bisco in San Diego
 

How was their 10/28 show!?!

I've never been to a concert of theirs before, but am stoked to go to their 11/18 one in San Diego. They are playing at 4th & B. It seems like this is a different type of venue than they normally play though, has anyone been or is going?

http://bit.ly/4e02zh

so railroad earth just put on quite possibly the single greatest show I have ever been to, and I've probably been to 100-150 including some real good ones... but man I have just never experienced anything like last night before. What can I say besides you guys are in for a hell of a treat.

Just saw the setlist you guys got in Michigan, looks really really good. i want to follow Railroad Earth on tour.

^Do it! Touring with a band you love is one of the most exciting and fun things for a live music enthusiast to do. Great times are had on tour, especially if you're travelling with a select few close pals.

Yeah seems like it would be a blast. My friend and I agreed that next time Railroad Earth comes through the Midwest we'll have to hit a couple more shows.

tlg just announced a winter tour through the midwest so i'll probably be doing minneapolis, madison and maybe chicago. should be fun, although doing a tour through the north midwest in january is pretty ****ing stupid. it'll be freezing.

I'm going to see an Umphrey's Stew Art show at 9:30 on the 21st. I don't know if you guys have heard anything about these things yet, but it's a small show (I think they only sold like 50 or 100 tickets) and the audience texts themes that are projected on a screen and the band tries their best to play to them.

I'm pretty excited to see how this turns out.


Also Blues Traveler tomorrow, first time seeing them.

Umphrey's seems to a lot of really cool things like that. i know they provide free tickets for tapers which i think is an absolutely brilliant idea and something all bands should do. that you're seeing them do sounds pretty crazy and interesting, let me know how it works out.
