^ So your telling me that people go see Phil and Friends to hear his new stuff?
Yeah,…right.
I love seeing Phil like anyone else, Jackie Greene is fantastic, but come on man…
someone post a song or two by MMJ or The New Mastersounds to try and convince me they’re good…please, if you can and have time.
I like to see Phil because he always provides me with whatever I least expect. I love Jackie’s songs, I love Phil’s obscure covers and I would love to hear some new Phil songs if only the PLQ album didn’t sour him on writing new stuff. I don’t just go for the old Dead songs, but regardless, even if I did, how is that any different than you going and seeing Jim James because you like his My Morning Jacket stuff? Or even going and seeing Lotus because you like their songs? Just because you go see a band and you like their material doesn’t mean that you can’t have an objective opinion of the band as well.
^ Fair Enough Devin.
We’ll boogie down to some Phil together when you come back to the states.
Here you go Hank.

most of the bands listed in this topic put me to sleep.
just sayin
Skipping the ‘jamband’ title, here are some new groups worth checking out:
Kneebody, Happy Apple, Heernt, Bad Plus, Dave Douglas’ Keystone, Brian Blade Fellowship, Chris Potter’s Underground, Human Feel, FLY Trio…
youtube em’
Umphreys Mcgee and Moe.
Also don’t ever count out Widespread…
My Morning Jacket is about this decade’s best contribution from where i’m sitting.
Panic with Herring sounds mighty fine to me.
^word
MOE.
And Ratdog blows away Phil,
Widespread and Phil tied for third
Lately Widespread Panic has been doin it for me!! I wish I had $75 bucks to see them play at Irving Plaza tommorrow night!
Listening to a lot of bluegrass jam these days… Pert 'Near Sandstone is quite tasty live…
phish,ratdog and the gd are pretty much all i listen to
I was kidding about OAR yesterday. I saw that they had a video featured on VH1 and it made me cringe. Talk about generic.
Anyway, my favs are pretty standard: moe, The Slip, Disco Biscuits (guaranteed to NOT put you to sleep), The Big Wu (why no mentions?), Phil, Allmans, The New Deal, String Cheese (though they’re broken up), Umphrey’s and yes, Dave Matthews Band (get a live album).
Stevo
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…
