Name Your Favorite Jam Band

Either the Dead or Phish... probably Phish, because I got into them first. I saw Umphrey's in B-more a while ago, and I thought they were very very unremarkable.

 

unremarkable?

 

Yeah. Very marginal.

 

I miss Mikey too and never got to see them live with him playing. They're still good but not the same without him.

umphrey's is a sound you need to hear more to become acclimated...it took me over a year...maybe I'm slow, but finally everything clicked and I got hooked. Maybe you won't, but keep listening (go to their website and get the podcasts) and maybe it'll happen for you too.

 

By cheese do you mean the string cheese incadent?

 

The Allman Brothers Band

 

String Cheese Incident.... I kept seeing the fog machine clouds in the light and I kept forgetting music was playing. Sometimes I'll just alternate between focusing on the music and spazzing out while eyeballing the lighting/effects.

 

Grateful Dead without a doubt although I am a Phishhead as well

 

My parents! Seriously...they kick ass!

 

Kyuss or Datura....both lay down the long spaced out Jams...

 

I'm gonna go with SCI, but I'm really starting to get into Umphreys and Medeski, Martin, and Wood.

 

mike bloomfield,al cooper,steve stills Super Session 68

 

Phish.

(partly because tension and release makes me wet).

 

1. Grateful Dead 2. Umphrey's McGee 3. SCI

 

phish by far

 

no bisco fans around these parts huh?

 

I can't pick just 3..........I like GD the best........KW, SCI, Phish, YMSB, Robert Randolph, anything with Les Claypool, especially Oysterhead....HBRSB, anything with Dawg, disco biscuits..........im gonna stop but thiers alot more.........thats just where my mind went first.

 

Grateful Dead, because they 'invented' it all, and moe. are my faves from the current scene

 

The Dead invented improv?
