The Official -JAM OF THE YEAR, 2008- Thread

[Gordo]

i would like to take the chance to nominate sully\'s rufus

:that:  you beat me to it

After the last chorus there\'s +3 minutes (7:23 - 11:06) of virtually nothing. The real jam doesn\'t even get going until 15:36. After that it\'s not a whole lot different than any other Rufus jam from this year. Sure, it builds up fast and keeps pace but you can get the same from any Over Exposure jam. Nothing about it is unique, at least in the sense to be included in this list.

I agree. It\'s good, buuut...

And we\'ve officially stumbled upon the reason why this thread is kind of lame...

My Midwest life is lame. :shrug:

i can\'t believe TGBFBITS is missing this. whre you at kiiiiid. and what about BGE?

ps sully\'s rufus was pretty experimental, tasteful, tight, rageable, and EPIC. if these are the criteria then:shrug:

BGE = Overrated

ps sully\'s rufus was pretty experimental, tasteful, tight, rageable, and EPIC compared to other recent (talkin since early \'07) Rufus-es-es, but compared to plenty o\' barrels it\'s just a central taint toucher.

no way denying sully\'s had the grimiest rust ever played. the jam is absolutely gorgeous.

Absolutely.... it seemed like the timing and vocals had also been smoothed out since the last time I have seen Rust.

But still, reality check, 9/14/07 still rules

Oh yeah and the Electric Company May Fly a few weeks before that.

Iron Horse HLH gets my vote for best jam with Chris

[bezerker]

the sullys rust is straight up magical.  if iron horse HLH was not so sick this would easily be the gnarliest jam I have heard from this band.  the last 7 to 8 minutes of this jam could match anything on the shut up play yer guitar disks except pink napkins, imo.  never heard the band get so grimey, as far as i can recall

this jam destroys everything but the iron hlh.   generic rufus my fucking brown eye.  this is without a doubt the second or the best jam of the year.  i will joust whoever disagrees

[Spacey]

are we jousting on bikes?

[bezerker]

well if there are multiple disagreers we will pick straws or something.  you didnt even answer the question space

[bdfreetuna]

Sully\'s Rufus was something else for sure...

But upon relistening to this show a few times, the Hard Luck Harry (including the lead-in jam) is really something else. Dangle\'s bass groove gets so nasty for a while. A lot different than the Iron Horse HLH but I think the band broke some new ground at Sullys.
