ultimate summer jam band

it's definately gotta be dave.

going to see dave matthews band in a couple weeks

any fans?

i've listened to #41 fifteen times today and counting. love that sax, those drums, and violin. just superb, energetic instrumentation.

if you've never heard it, hear it now.

so, who is the ultimate lounge out, smoke a j, summer jam band and why?

There are a TON of awesome jam bands. The most ultimate being:

Grateful Dead

Reason: Jerry maaaaaan. Also the fact that there are mega shitloads of live recordings from festivals that I love to listen to.

Other mentions:
Umphrey's Mcgee
Phish

I'm sure someone will come in with Wilco as well.

you're spot on. nothing better than 10 different, 15 minute, live, improvised versions to your favorite one song... that was only 3 min. long on the studio album.

i could never get into Phish at all. Grateful Dead i can do 'tho. never listened to Umphrey's Mcgee, what are they like?

Wilco ?!? am i missing something? is the wilco i'm thinking of different than your wilco?

gotta throw Blues Traveler in the list as well. i'm a sucker for instrumentation. the more, the better.

I can never get into jam bands. Not sure why, either.

Yea, oops, not Wilco, I was thinking of another band, but I fuckin forgot.

UM is a phenominal band based out of Chicago, although they started in IN. They too support massive recording and trading of their live shows. Good for the fans.

quote:
Umphrey's McGee is Brendan Bayliss (guitar, vocals), Jake Cinninger (guitar, Moog, synthesizers, vocals), Joel Cummins (keyboards, vocals), Andy Farag (percussion), Kris Myers (drums, vocals), and Ryan Stasik (bass, no vocals). Also with the band are sound man Kevin Browning, monitor engineer Bob Ston, stage manager Robbie Williams, lighting designer Adam Budney, road manager Don Richards, and manager Vince Iwinski.

Throughout the show, UM�s invention brings the progressive instrumental chops of Zappa and the stylistic savvy of Steely Dan. It is innovative without being indulgent, exhilarating without losing control, and there are plenty of improv passages that keep the band and their fans off-balance. As David Fricke notes in his four-star review of Live at the Murat in Rolling Stone, Umphrey�s McGee �always have destination on their minds, even when they fly free.�

don't necessarily know what defines a jam band since I think most bands jam out every now and then.

In any case, I've gotten into Vetiver

The absolute best version of this song is the 20+ minute version from Worcester, 12/8/98.
There is 3 parts to the below video. I only linked the first. The 2 others are also available on youtube.

Also, check out the band O.A.R. (of a revolution) if you haven't already.

Very cool, thanks. I'm liking this. Took a bit to get past the voice, tho. Any live recordings in particular you recommend?

@ Sukhoi: I.love.you. I always thought nothing could top Gorge. I've GOT to get my hands on this. You just made my last months of 2008... *repeat : /

Mystery, i want your ball and chain tied to me tightly.

in their grandmother's basement. songs mutate from state to state. they don't just jam out every now and then, but far more so than putting out fresh albums their fans wait to jizz over
