Bug > Tweeprise - Phish
3.8.09 - Hampton Coliseum, Hampton, VA

This is a must-see for any Hampton attendee, and perhaps a bigger must-see for anyone who didn’t experience Chris Kuroda’s majestic light show at Hampton. Perhaps the highest quality amateur video circulating of Phish currently. Enjoy!

Jennifer - Casey Shea
7.11.09 - The Gramercy Theatre, New York NY

Casey Shea grew up next door to me in Florida back in the late 80s and 90s. Until recently, the last conversation I had with him about music was Phish and Big Cypress (he went, I didn’t). Now he is making his own music, and is damn good at it. Check out his blog at caseysheamusic.com/blog. He plays primarily in NYC, but you can download a lot of his studio stuff from the blog.

Have a listen and tell us what you think of Casey’s sound?

This is only part of Spiders, but it is such a good vid and I had to post. In addition, I am just getting into Yo La Tengo. There is another vid of this performance on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnJ80lqvy5s

Little Feat - 4.10.1973 - Hampstead, NY

I highliy suggest finding this little 11 song set taped at a radio station in NY and downloading it. It’s a great show and one of my favorite to sit down and just listen to.

B.B. King @ the House of Blues 11/29/2008. It was a great night with great family and great music. More importantly, some really great scotch. Really glad to see one of the truly masterful musicians of our time.

Wounded Bird - The Black Crowes

04.25.08 - Late Night with David Letterman

I can not put into words how excited I am to hit the Forecastle Fest is Louisville Friday. Obviously, it’s been a little while since I’ve seen panic, so that’ll be the main course Saturday and Sunday cause I got the jones, but there are so many other great acts that weekend.

The Crowes coming on directly before Panic, what? The chances are immenent for a Robinson sit-in, if Chris isn’t being a little bitch. (Feelin’ Alright, perhaps?). Either way, sit-in, or not, I will be sniffing the Nag and riding the rail with my boys Randy, Wrangler, and Two Hole.

I feel really good about this little festival. Magic’s in the air.

p.s. What about a Dweezil sit-in on Joe’s Garage with panic. Is that even possible?

p.s.s. And of course, Sam Holt with Outformation will be sticking around for the day after his set. Uh-Oh!?!

Looks Like Rain -> Jam - Grateful Dead
3.28.85 - Nassau Coliseum, Uniondale, NY

1985 is one of my favorite Dead years, and with good cause. It is one of the last years to find all members still reasonably on top of their skills, creating truly innovative and interesting improv, and the sets featured a wide variety of material. This 16 minute Looks Like Rain features a really great jam.

Enjoy this as well as some great picks from April and June of 1985. We’ll revisit this year later in the summer with some more choice picks.

Reba - Phish
8.2.03 - IT Festival, Loring Air Force Base, Limestone, Maine

One of the best Rebas Phish has played, and certainly the best version post-hiatus. The jam really takes off at about 12:30. Trey lays down some very tasteful licks and Fish is all sorts of locked in with Gordo. It might be Page’s subtle textures that just highlight Trey, but this jam always does it for me!

Also Sprach Zarathustra - Eumir Deodato

Ever wonder where Phish found the inspiration for their funky version of Richard Strauss’s 1896 masterpiece Also Sprach Zarathustra? Look no further, as this live performance highlights Eumir Deodato’s orchestra joyously jamming the piece in all its glory in 1972!
