members of sun ra played a free show at the madison green about 3 weeks ago ..they do the same stuff as well as some originals i believe.
-
I played horn on stage with PB once, that Powder Hollow Barn show. It was NOT the worst thing in the history of sound, as Freddie would have you believe, but the sound quality did blow, as it always does at that venue. I rapped with the band on July 4th 2001 and in Atlanta in summer 2002.
-
Do u mean the tour after JG came back from his coma ? That was in \'86.
-
most of my list is still current:
frank zappa - classical still preformed worldwide 5-10 times a year, bands like project object still play his other material, and thing fish has/had a sucessful theater tour in england last year
miles davis fusion bands - no
mahavishnu orchestra -still on tour
chick coria acoustic and electric bands - still tours reguarly
sun ra - no
Ornet colemans double quartet free jazz - don\'t know
dave brubeck -still out there, every year in newport
igor stravinsky - still played frequently, NYPhilharmonic had several shows of his this season
edgar varese - still preformed, but you have to look
mmw - duh
primus - on tour
old phish esp. 1997 fall tour - still touring
pb - still touring
Grateful dead 67-72, 76-80 and the tour after garcia came back in 88 - the dead, phil lesh and friends, and rat dog still touring
bootsie collins - don\'t know about shows, but he was in the NBA commercials last year, so he still gets around
george clinton -still touring
bela fleck -still touring
victor wooten - still touring w/ fleck
out of 18, all can be heard except miles and sun ra, and maybe boostie. sun ra might even still be around but i dont know. composers dont have to be alive or present for there music to be preformed, so theres zappa/stravinsky/varese. also, with gd and phish i was just being specific as to which years i like the best.
-
i know that this thread has been going in all sorts of directions since everyone stopped talking about WSP and all... but it is still CURRENT jambands that the discussion started about. Sure, all the bands listed above are good/were good, and i probably would\'ve listed them as well (Miles Davis etc..) but come on now... current baby current.

Leith ..I agree. What ever happened to that guy that sat in with the band on, oh, what was it....
January, 27th, 2001 - Powder Hollow Barn - Enfield, CT
I: What The Funk > Sundance, Superfly Phaddy Fat > Attraction To Shade Ditty > Gladys Pimp & Kangaroos With Me > Phaddy Boom Baddy*, Moby Dick
* with Seth Wolfman on saxophone
....they should contact that kid again...it was mindblowing.
-
THE GRATEFUL DEAD ARE THE BEST.
Also: ABB, Max Creek, Uncle Sammy was good, DTB, Depth Quartet, Steve Kimock, PLQ of course.
-
Like Phish w/ horns ? That is something I never tire of. Trey writes the most insane parts for horns on Phish songs. If any of you back east know a killer horn player turn them on to PB!!!!
Tim playing off of some sick sax would be da ****.
-
Although their horns "dominate", and despite the fact that they are great to dance to, I think their horn section is very... safe... in its playing. But I suppose that is the type of horn playing that typically goes with that type of music. (Especially the funkier songs... horn sections in funk bands are rarely something to write home about.) Sonny Rollins would sound weird up there.
This is not a dis of the band, however, I like what the brass brings to the band. I just think there is room for more... know what I mean?
-
TAB rips!! I was so happy when Trey decided to expand the band. I\'ve seen a bunch of TAB and though not Phish, I danced just as hard and cried tears of joy just the same.
-
Trey Anastasio Band. Seen five outstanding shows. Horn section dominates the performance. Everyone else chimes in. A mixture of of many musical styles. Diverse original compositions: some long, some short; some simple, some complex; some lyrically-based, some instrumentally-based. Jams of high quality in terms of energy and musicianship. A band that obviously enjoys performing. Wide-ranging covers (Caravan, Root Down, Black Dog). Two long sets. Give a try to Plasma or any of the shows from the spring tour, which are available for download.

Last time I saw Anthrax was 4 years ago in some dump in Torrance. It was wierd because the time before that was early 90\'s and they were opening for Maiden. Lovin\' Anthrax since back in \'83/\'84. Little Hessian turned deadhead that\'s me.

umphrey\'s mcgee

leith,what do yo uknow about anthrax??and no,i dont mean the disease silly..among the living is still one of my favorite albums of all time,and state of euphoria is pretty ser too!

LOL! That is pretty damn funny there, Wolfman. I do love me some grits though...
-
What is it about WSP that they simply cannot get anyone north of the Mason-Dixie line to get into them? Up north, they\'ve gone over about as well as slavery and grits. It\'s weird. Maybe we\'re all just deaf ignorant ****.
-
OK OK consensus seems to be WSP rocks. let\'s jock some other bands now huh? I know this is gonna sound wierd but anyone listen to Iron Maiden lately. If there was ever a Heavy Metal jamband they are it. I saw the most psychedelic metal show ever last time I saw them. Their last 2 albums are insane!! Most songs are in the 6-9 minute range and in concert woah! Their new 3 guitar line-up is RIPPING!!!!!!!
-
Come to think of it......I like panic, but not thaaaaaaaaaaat much.
-
ah ****, sound IT!
i have no idea what that means... just beating gray to the punch. :lol:
-
Panic is so much better than most jambands you ignorant ****.
Oh, wow.... ^ was a little harsh. My apologies, I just woke up.
-
Freddie just go eat a peach
-
Wolfman - come talk to me after MMW or Umphree\'s (or Phish) play triple headers @ Red Rocks 8 years in a row.... hell, come talk to me when they play a triple header @ RR one year in a row...
Wah - Under the Table and Dreaming? Shouldn\'t you be listening to The Ghost?
-
personally,my favorite wsp album is under the table and dreaming.what do yo uguys think?
-
whine all u want but jus\' remember WSP is one of those bands that without them pushing ahead, bands like PB would not even get a chance to show the goods. GD and Phish get all the credit for constant touring but WSP been doin it for years.
-
Yeah, why don\'t you go to the Panic forum while the rest of us discuss good bands. :duck:
-
oh god get a room you two! ;)
-
Loosey- goosey Yeah!!! That\'s why I love the Dead and Panic!!That is what I\'m talkin\' about when talkin\' about Panic jams. No need for sped up solo after solo just talk to each other in that slow southern drawl of music.
-
TELL ME ABOUT IT! I lived up there for 3.5 years, and had to deal with the Wah comparing JB to Dave Matthews! One good thing this that I got to see a ton of intimate shows while I was there... I mean Toad\'s Place??... there would be a riot if they tried to play a place that small south of the Mason-Dixon.......
To me it\'s not all about how tight a band is, or that they can play 5 million complex notes a show... sometimes loosey-goosey is what does it for me.
It\'s going to suck missing PB @ home for NYE this year, but I have to get my WP while I can....
-
I did not want to say it but yeah I do think they may sound better w/ George. Even my befuddled friends like the way George is more noticable than Mikey. That is the complaint of many of them that Mikey did not go BANG!! They did not understand the threads he wove to keep Panic jams together. I have only seen 20 or so shows by WSP (3 w/ George) but I can not wait for their hiatus to end. They will have been able to deal w/ the loss of Mikey out of the public eye and that is good.
-
WSP is also underappreciated in the NORTHEAST also....
-
I was a bit critical of the way the band sounded with George at first, but I saw a show on 10/18 in Macon, that was one of the best I\'ve ever seen (close to 100 since 1991)... took away any doubts I had that they would never be as good again... dare I say they might have even sounded... better... Houser will never be replaced, but a flashier lead guitar really adds tons to the sound. Leith, shoot me your address & I\'ll send you a cd of the show....

Dude!! That\'s the thing about Panic. I miss Mikey but it has always been about John\'s lyrics 4 me. I am the ONLY WSP fan among my friends and it blows me away how underappreciated they are out here. As for their playing, OMFG they are fcukin\' hard to beat as far as I\'m concerned and now w/ George on board for the long haul Man!(of course they decide to pull a hiatus). They may not be as tight as say PB but man their segues are some of the most inventive on the scene. Then again I might be crazy huh? :)
-
While some may or may not like their instrumental prowess, it\'s damn tough to argue that they don\'t write the best lyrics out there... just my opinion, of course... lol!
-
I forgot about Panic, She\'s beautiful - natural Hangin in the diner!

DBB (with Hope) was on hiatus since last nye...But, the originall DBB has reunited for a few shows this fall. ...Don\'t really think theyre back for good right now though.

XXXXXXXX======XXXXXXXXX
(mr.)Phish
moe.
Keller *
oh... THe Dead
Leftover
Ween
Alligator Dave and the Couch Band (would fit nicely)
the HUT sessions (ahhh)
Planet 22
Lake Trout (considered jam band at one time)
*playing \'I Could Drink a Case of You\' is beyond belief.
and the list goes on and on... they all rock in their own right.
Be it jazz, blues, funk, reggae, rock, bluegrass... all with their own improve jamming style. It\'s great.

Motet
John Scofield Band
Sound Tribe Sector 9
New Monsoon
MMW
and that is In no particular order

Obviously PB is the best band in the history of audible noise, but who is the best current jamband besides PB? BTW this is not a "is this a jamband" debate. If you think the band is a jamband, then just put them in.
My favorites:
Immortals:
1. MMW
2. Bela Fleck and The Flecktones
Mortals:
1. Umphrey\'s McGee
2. Karl Denson\'s Tiny Universe
3. Keller Williams
4. Addison Groove Project
5. Particle
