Amen Mike. FU$#......I was getting so pumped on CATS. I listened to a Relix interview with Neal and he seemed like such a genuinely good dude which seemed evident by how many amazing musicians welcomed him into their orbit. Peace Neal, you were a ray of sunshine in our souls and how i wish you could have found your own rays of sunshine to pierce through those dark clouds of despair.
Seriously modern day Pink floyd, etc caliber kind of stuff. I'm mind blowed and feel so soothed from my stressingly feels listening to this performance. Top shelf Amazing guys and Artists. May you rest in peace dear Neal. I both love and feel you
Rest in peace brother. Love going out to hus family and friends. We lost a kind soul and fabulous musician. CATS in my opinion is the most original interesting group in the jam scene. Had hopes of seeing these guys around for a while. Godspeed Neal
saw them in Austin last night 4/27. AWESOME show. trying to decide if they're Steely Dan with more creativity or Grateful Dead with more discipline. the real answer is neither or both. because they're incredibly unique live. one of the best concert I've ever seen.
Man this was a group I was very excited about, for a minute we had Circles, Phil's terrapin bands, Dead and Co, Golden Gate Wingmen, JRAD, VoodooDead and LiveDead69 all touring/playing shows. Almost every night was a musical extravaganza! And thats just the dead related bands, phish, yonder, Jeff Austin were all going on as well then. R.i.p Robert Hunter, Buddy Cage, Neal Casal, Buddy Cage, Gloria Jones and so many more that have recently passed.
First, RIP Neal. Huge loss. Second, I love the shots of Neal playing and you can see the drummer is having the time of his life. As a bass player, I recognize the feeling when you're laying it down with real talent. Cheers. Keep the jam alive.
This reminds me of one of my top 10 shows ever....and like most of you, that's over many blessed years of shows seeing live music...it was CATS at Zoetropolis in Lancaster PA, perhaps in 6/2019?... intimate venue, 300 capacity maybe ...owner Matt Hostetter (who rages with his own bands) happened to cross paths with Neal as Neal was on the road and looking for a local recording studio ...anyhow... that night, every musician, Adam esp!, Dan, Mark, and Neal were incredibily ON and engrained an orbit that remains in my memory. Again, one of the most mind blowing, body shaking shows ever. Would love to see video or hear that show again, anyone have anything?? We were do busy losing our minds to record anything. Anyhow, love them CATS and see them everytime they're within a few hours drive but sure do miss our brother Neal...RIP.
" you'll find yourself so far away from here don't let your smile go up in flames" Lines are from Casal's song Raining Straight Down. That gentle smile I'll keep in my heart. Of course, music will be there.
These guys started as a project group to make music for the Dead reunion tour. There so great there still playing, I just found themselves now. So glad I did.
The Black Crowes have become one of my favorite bands and it’s all because I found out Neal Casal was playing with CR. Him and Adam intertwine so beautifully here. Rock on CATS!!!
OMG!!! I just got into these guys in the last couple of months! Can't believe what a beautiful talent has passed!!! I feel cheated out of listening to the jams that would have been.
I just found these guys. A little too late, I see. What a shame. Neal was so talented. He played with so many people who will miss him terribly. Such a loss.
still can't believe neal is gone physically but his spirit and music will live on forever. i hope he found the peace he so desperately needed. rip brother until we meet again, may the universe hold you in the palm of it's hand...............peace
so, I'm watching this and wondered about the bass player who looked a whole lot like the bass player in Grateful Shred and low and behold, one and the same. Dan Horne. The Jack Casady type sunglasses were the give away. I fell for this band while listening in on the first Fare Thee Well show and in time learned that Neal is from the town I live in. It was months before I learned of his death. I only learned just now about his suicide. Tragic loss for he, his family and loved ones, and us.
Tight sweet jams. Darn it Neal. I literally discovered these guys yesterday after listening to Goose play a bunch (Mr. TH-cam recommended CATS) after listening to a whole set I was so pumped to check them out more and jam along. So I jump in and what's the 1st thing I read. R.I.P. Neal. Never got to meet you, but have a feeling I'll learn a lot through what you left behind in music man. And I totally get it. Can be tough. If we only we could play music and get lost in it 24 hours a day. Problem is we can't And reality creeps in pretty quick after your last song jamming with the boys. That ride home is such a mix of emotions.
ça part tranquille, presque banal...puis on se laisse embarquer et finalement c'est très jouissif. Musicalité au top, bravo...dommage que Neal nous ait quitté, ce qu'il a apporté est important. Là il est merveilleusement accompagné.
R.I.P. Neal you are going to be missed tremendously.
absolutely devastating.

Holy fuck really?
It’s been hard to accept, I don’t want to, this is happening far too often. Just gut wrenching.
He was only 50. I just read it was suicide. So tragic.
RIP Neal.
Adam MacDougall is one of the most underrated keyboardists ever!
The Magician!
MAN! That bass player, Dan Horne. His bass tone is incredible!!!. His timing is right on.. Bass Goals!!
is it just me or is the keyboard player a mad scientist / evil genius? love this band!!!!! thanks Paste!!!
The Wizard!!!!!!
Space is the place
our lord and savior keysus
Austin Heimark he’s a wizard!
Paul Moser Yes! he’s such a magic man
The Rabbit hole was totally WORTH IT!!!! Cause I found....THIS!?!? Holy shit.......Fantastic!!
And RIP Mr. Casal.
The bass player and the drummer work beautifully together.
Neal's passing brought me here. It is what I needed.
Same...wish I would have stumbled upon this while he was still with us, really digging this hard.
Same here, Sad and Happy moment! Discover a great jam band and then honor a great guitarist! RIP Neal!

I love the tones they all get and the overall CLEAN sound they always have.

Sad news. Your music lives on Neal. Jam it out in eternity.

this music is easy to listen to and to see the band so in the pocket is truly special. timeless.
these old hippies are tight! Thanks for posting this
Keys leading that whole train, I love these guys
Why do so many ultra talented musicians have to leave our world so early? It is so sad. Jam band extraordinaire! R.I.P. Neal
Miss u Neal. U r an inspiration 4 this life and the next. R.I.P. Brother

These guys killed it at Charleston Pour House! Amazing! RIP Neal, may you forever feel the music brotha!
As someone who struggles with debilitating depression and anxiety, Neal's death just hits too close to home. Rest easy man.
Totally feel you brother. Light ahead
@@Frekog what happened to him ?
@@dextermorgan5397 pretty sure suicide
Thank you, Neal. We all loved, and continue to love you. I'm in awe of the drum and bass duo.
These guys are great! Puts me in mind of my Herbie Hancock Head Hunter album from the 70s ....
love you neal, you will always be remembered
Thankful that I was able to see Neal perform at Aiken Bluegrass Festival before he passed. You will be missed sir.
We miss you Neal. Seeing CATS at the BK Bowl and thinking of your sweet soul ❤

Drummer is a machine. Love these guys.
God bless this Funk.
Speaking of God, whoda thunk that Jesus could lay down such nasty grooves on the drums? ;)
yeah, this music is sonic gold, and we miss you Neal more and more as time flows on!
Nice to see a bass player with a pick destroying the naysayers, the rest of the band sound amazing as well.
These guys pack up every bit of my favorite styles of music and serve them up as a tasty sandwich.
So groovy dude. Love the music. Cool dudes!!!!
The Black Crowes have become one of my favorite bands and it’s all because I found out Neal Casal was playing with CR. Him and Adam intertwine so beautifully here. Rock on CATS!!!
Music to float through Space on this Big Rock to.
OMG!!! I just got into these guys in the last couple of months! Can't believe what a beautiful talent has passed!!! I feel cheated out of listening to the jams that would have been.
Peace Neal.. You're a gift.
I just found these guys. A little too late, I see. What a shame. Neal was so talented. He played with so many people who will miss him terribly. Such a loss.
They find the groove every time

So good!! Great to hear really good fresh jambands.
Watching this because of what the interviewer said about the guitarist having a giant pedalboard, in the episode where CHON was the guest
Yes, this is great music to make a great start to the day.
Amazing band. Saw them a bunch of times. They sound even better when in the little wooden theatre in Norfolk, CT!
fucking A bro neal I love you cant stop playing both albums over and over and just appreciating it more and more
love me some library music, these guys are great
Magic carpet ride⚡️I surf the walls on angel dust

Well you give! Cool!!!
So freakin amazing
This band is bad ass and great instrumental jamband. Love the keys and synths...but whole band is solid and the drummer and bass hold down the grooves
CATS so good fusion of P-Funk, Pink Floyd and Grateful Dead. And they play so tight.
