You have no idea how dark it is! It was brief but it did happen, I was young. Been a good decade from those days.

I'm a big fan. I've been to over 20 phish shows and have seen umphrey's mcgee, MMW, various trey incarnations, Widespread, and various other smaller bands that are regional.

Its good music and I still enjoy it even though I don't smoke anymore. I'm also a fan of many other bands that aren't neccessarily in the jam band vein.

Jam Band shows are a ton of fun to go to as you will always see a pretty wide array of fans going to see them. you will see the dreadlocked hippies but you will also see people who look corporate having fun

I'm not a big fan of dedicated "jam bands" like Phish and WP, but I do like bands that are good at jamming. Check out some Pink Floyd bootlegs from their tours in the '70s, they were amazingly good.

My roomate hates them and I fully agree. My college days of Phish and Widespread Panic are way behind me. Give me Audioslave and the Foo, the Killers and Franz Ferdinand, Diamond Dave's Van Halen and the Rolling Stones....rock n' roll!

Tim's got a band called The Black you can check them out on www.myspace.com/realblack.

music aside, you have to love when the jam bands come to town though, cause then the mushrooms flow like double-stacked rolls.

jam bands blow. always have, always will.

unless you're totally baked. then they rock.

The only act I enjoy with even the slightest trace of "jam" about them are The Allman Brothers.

Is this a real post or just a shameless plug for your friends band?

It's a real post and I have no shame in posting the reference as the music is good, they have nothing to sell and you can see where he is coming from.

I like jam bands. lately, I've been getting into the more jazzy stuff - Galactic, MMW etc. But I still like a good ass kicking alt rock band.
