Re: DMB
 

i'm not knocking your liking of dave, but there are soooo many more talented jam bands out there. i don't even really consider dave to be a jamband, his older stuff maybe but his new stuff is too" pop" oriented.

best jambands: Disco Biscuits(my favorite), moe., SCI, Galactic, Sound Tribe, Widespread Panic, Lotus, the list goes on and on....

when i was in high school, which wasn't too long ago, all we did was go to shows(and rage after:D ). seen a ton of excellent improv that would blow Phish or Dave away anyday.....

DMB, not a good jamband. They take it too far, and don't do it well at that. They were better before 96.

I've seen moe. many times starting in 97 and I have to say that I have lost interest in them. I have slast saw them in 2002 at the Fleet Pavillion and it was bad enough that I blew off the second show. The studio stuff is weak and the live shows dont do it any more, they too get lost in their jams. They do still pull a goodie out of nowhere now and again.

Phish, I saw over 50 shows. The best music played was in fall of 92 to fall of 98. 1999/2000 it was obvious they needed a break. The hiatus was good for them as a band but when they came back things were different. It was like getting your car back after it's been fixed after an accident, it's just not the same. You may not know what it is, but it is not the same.

I will say the last four shows were as good, if not best they had played in years.

agreed that moe. has lost it. they play the same stuff every show. but you gotta admit moe. jams just as hard as anyone. anyone who's never seen them before would be blown away. seen em about 15 times or so, used to be my favorite.

you ever seen the biscuits? they're voices need help, but they are musical geniuses. plays songs backwards, inverted, all kinds of crazy stuff. will start a song one show finish the next tour. will play palindromes in a set. insane. seen em about 15 times as well but never get tired of them. i

Never have seen the disco biscuits.

I got turned off to alot of jambands because I saw The Slip open for Jiggle the Handle a few years ago. At that point I decided that The Slip sucked so it was a bit of a turnoff to other bands. I would rather not waste my time.

I have seen String Cheese and Leftover Salmon and enjoyed them, and many many others, but I have also come across the likes of many bands that I would rather eat a dirty, used birkenstock than sit through again.
