99 Albums in 4:20 - Eclectic MethodPlayed as a live intro to Phish’s Exile On Main St. Set 10.31.09 - Empire Polo Club, Indio, CAOne of the coolest parts of the Ocho was the cover set of The Rolling Stones’ Exile on Main Street. However, this intro video that came on 4:20 before the set started got everyone dancing and going nuts as Phish took the stage, putting an end to the game that so ma

Set IParty Time, Chalkdust Torture, Moma Dance, NICU, Stealing Time From the Faulty Plan, I Didn’t Know, Poor Heart, Cavern, Beauty of a Broken Heart, Ocelot, Time Turns ElasticVery nicely worked up since I saw it when first played at Merriweather. CDT had an uncharacteristically laid back non-rock out Jam, a welcome change, building to the rock out end. The Moma was super funky right from the .

My Wife and I just moved into a new house yesterday. It’s pretty much the only reason we’re not at 8 living it up with many of the other guys and gals who are out in Indio.Since we’re not there, we are here, in Pennsylvania, with my XM radio Rube Goldberg’d together on top of a TV box, and wires strung all over the place, up on our 3rd floor attic bedroom that is super sweet waiting for th

trappedintime:Phish - Festivalography Pt 4/4Your time is near, the mission's clearFor a Phish fan, this last part brings it full circle. From the disaster that was Coventry and the bad shape Trey was in, to a healthy, rejuvinated and forward looking group throwing what stands to be one of the most exciting live music events of the year.We're leaving LA shortly and heading to Indio. We'll be p...

trappedintime:Phish - Festivalography Pt 3/4The third installment might be my favorite. The band members talk about playing the largest Millenium concert in the world at Big Cypress, and one of the longest continuous sets of music played by any band (from about 11:45 PM until sunrise, approximately 7 hours), and then flying home that same morning.This episode also covers the IT festival, my fi...

trappedintime:Phish - Festivalography Pt 2/4Part two covers Phish's festivals from 1998 and 1999, Lemonwheel and Camp Oswego, highlighting their growth as a band, and contrasting Phish's festival versus multi-band festivals from the same time period. There's a great version of the Talking Heads' "Cities" as well as one of my personal favorite jams from 1998, Gumbo -> Sanity.

Phish - Festivalography Pt. 1/4I often find it hard to explain to people - be it friends, family, colleagues, strangers - why Phish is my favorite band, why I see them as much as I possibly can, and why I love their music and community.A major reason for my devotion stems from my first festival experience when I was 18 years old. I had just graduated high school, and road tripped by myself fro...

GRATEFUL DEAD-OPOLY!!! I Must Have this.So I've known for some time that an awesome artist named Tim Truman has done a lot of art for the Grateful Dead. I've also known for a while that he used to be a teacher at the art college I graduated from. When he was still there I would run into him every so often and we'd get to talking about some of his good times seeing, being around, and working on ...

blanksandpostage:Dr. Dog - The Way The Lazy Do > Army of Ancients 10.20.09 - The Southern, Charlottesville VAI caught Dr. Dog last night at a new venue in town, The Southern, which is the old Gravity Lounge. The owner, Andy Gems, has done a fantastic job revamping the venue and the sound is so much better. They have a lot of great shows coming up, so check them out. I think I will be hitting up...

(Backstory: For a while now, I have been writing, what I call Dead Friday, every Friday morning and sending it out to a growing distibution list. It serves as a little writing therapy for me, and The Butter Room has asked me to start posting them on Sunday as part of the Dead posts. I hope you like. They get a little personal sometimes. Welcome to my world.)Morning, Freaks!!Sorry for the long o..

I’m Not Gonna Cry - Sharon Jones and The Dap Kings04.18.2008 - Later with Jools HollandTell it to me, Baby Girl! Sharon Jones is the real deal and her band, The Dap Kings, are super tight. I got turned on heavy to The Dap Kings on their dates that they played with Widespread Panic. I really appreciate that there are a few big voices out there keeping this “sound” alive. Good Stuff!Every o

You Oughta Know - Alanis Morissette1995 - Live at the Nulles Part AilleursI miss the rage in this one. No doubt, I love her as a mature woman, all maternal, eco-friendly, and yoga-ey. But I loved you crazy. It's sexy.Thank you, Dave Coulier. You were a wonderful muse.

Ain’t No Bread In The Breadbox - Jerry Garcia Band11.15.91 - Madison Square Garden, New York, New YorkMy lil bro always said he liked JGB more than the Dead. There was really something special and different about it. Jerry had a way of reaching deep down into you and grabbing a hold of your soul. i always felt like the music of JGB was more inspirational than the Grateful Dead. I felt like

Enter Sandman - Widespread Panic10/31/2007 - Civic Center, Asheville, NCThis 2nd set opener (1st set was Welcome to My Nightmare) would've been a whole hell of a lot cooler if Halloween '07 had been in Blacksburg, instead of Ashevegas. I was lucky enough to be at this one, and I can tell you for a fact the roof got blown off. I am still slightly haunted still to this day by the Children of the ...
