the only current “jamband” I listen to with any kind of dedication would be Medeski, Martin and Wood, but they’re more jazzy than jammy in my mind anyway. and I listen to Phish too, of course.
maybe a bit of phil, ratdog, or WSP every once in a while. I guess I did listen to SCI Carnival '99 last night too. I think Ratdog probably transfers best on tape, for me, out of those four bands.
I listen to a lot of music, but the only jam bands I’ve ever gotten into are Phish and GD. I’ve tried listening to a little Umphrey’s and moe. before, but they didn’t do much for me.
The Phruity Phrench Phries of Philli.
i’m just kiddin i just made that up.
i made up a song the other night while i was alone. it went like this:
let’s have one, then another
let’s fornicate with eachother
it’s about 35 minutes long and it’s all one note. it’s so feck’n seck.
but back on topic: Cinderella
Dude, remember the spring '04 PPPP tour?
It was rad.
im surprised many people seem to like ratdog better than phil. i kinda feel like bobby is getting old and you can hear it in the music. i think phil still brings a fresh new sound to the dead tunes. and i think his band is much tighter than ratdog. but i still see both! ive always been kinda curious why the dead hasnt reunited… every member is touring. phil, bobby, mickey, kreutzman, donna…
^really.
ratdog = adult contemporary Dead
The Heavy Pets ;D Umphrey’s 
Biscuits 
i don’t know shit about jambands. i always have a couple or a few bands from the different genres that i gravitate towards and mostly ignore the rest. i don’t know why.
with that being said, i do tend to enjoy the dickens out of some Umphrey’s when i get the chance.
I think Ratdog is a great band, I dig them more than Phil at this point, i love them both, but i would go to a rd show over a pl&f show
just my opinion though
^I think I would agree with you at this point.
I like Phil shows, but I think he might be letting the music get a bit too “new school.” I mean, he played a frickin untzy Particle song this summer. He has a right to do new things and all that, but Phil is straying from his roots a bit more than I like, I think.
Ratdog sticks more to the GD sound, and I like that. And they have a saxophone player.
of all the instruments, the saxophone is the one that makes me want to jam a sharp stick into my ear. i don’t know what it is, but i hate the sound of a saxophone. i mean bad. really, really bad.
love trumpets.
love trombones.
love the fluglehorn (chuck mangeone anyone?)
hate the saxophone.
the saxophone is the bastard-retard pissant of the brass instrument family. and that’s not just my opinion. god hates saxophones too. it says so in the bible.
^ You don’t mean the soprano sax, too… do you?
DO YOU?
G has ruined my life for many years.
i WILL destroy his base.
Fair enough, then.
Branford says: “Listen to more of me”
That is a great photo there… Anyhow, I think the bluegrass jam scene is where my mind is turning to now… More than ever…
It’s actually a woodwind.
Hahaha!
^^^nice woodwind burn up there!
listen to Herbie Hancock and his saxamaphone player. He rocks my socks off.
