Jam bands never left! I've been playing in jam bands for 50 years in addition to my regular band which is celebrating 20 years together. Thanks guys. Cheers from Utah
...and Baxter says "these old guys who have been in jam bands since the '90s'. He missed a few decades. Even Willie had a jam band when he started down in Texas.
@MrSparks54 Aren't we all. A local band calls themselves the Geezers and another is guitars and cataracts. The Doors was a jam band. Get stoned and jam. I have actually played basically solo acoustic since mid-seventies
Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds 💀✌️⚡️🌞🌈🐢nothing will ever take you to the places, jerry and the boys could do. When IT WAS HAPPENING. Those moments cant be planned or replicated. They happen, when they happen, and its the greatest story ever told✌️
The String Cheese Incident rules. They blew my mind, playing continuously for hours. Morphing one style to the next seamlessly. I thought I was hearing 15 different bands on the stage over the course of the evening.
They play Shoe Fest in Illinois a lot. Old Shoe throws it, and I've worked security at that show before. It's just outside of Kankakee, IL, at a boy scout camp lodge. Very chill, 3 day event.
Gooooooseeee! 🤘 Also Phish might not get much radio play, but I love it when they pop on sports broadcasts. Every once in a while MLB will play little Phish and/or other jam band clips when they’re going to or coming back from commercials.
It never occurred to me that Dead fans would hate Touch of Gray, but I can totally see that happening. I don’t know of any Rush fan that hates Tom Sawyer. Maybe a little upset that it’s the only track you will here on the radio (I hear Freewill and Limelight too), but never hate.
As a player who hit adulthood right in the early/mid 90’s i got a chance to see the Dead many, many times, the Allman’s every year at least once if not multiple times from the early 90’s til the late 2000’s, Phish and Widespread more times than I can count… I have always loved jam band music/culture and have viewed the goal of my 35+ year infatuation with the guitar to be a competent, fluent improviser. The fun is you can ALWAYS get better… The reward is a memory full of truly magical moments on stage (or even in practice) where you and the people you are playing with are connected in a way that you simply can’t do in any other way. If you’ve ever been in a good, even decent, ‘jam band’, you know what I mean… not to be cheesy, but you’ll always ‘know’ those guys… they’ll always ‘know’ you… in a way very few ever will.
Jam bands are the best! I was in my twenty’s when the jam movement happened and haven’t looked back. If you can play with those guys you can play anything!
So funny, I just got done watching some of your older jam band videos about two hours ago. And now it love looks like this video has just been posted 24 minutes ago. And to actually contribute to the jam band discussion, I've seen some really great shows, Phil Lesh and friends, Dark Star Orchestra (grateful dead tribute band) some more others that I can't really remember.
The way I see it is if you cant just jam you are not a band. Also every live show should have a jam session at the end of the last song. In a perfect world...
The thing about it that many of us love is that it's music being created in the moment. Most fans aren't musicians, so it's like being a part of something magical. Those wizards on stage aren't just repeating the songs.
I used to be such a stiffler for studio music. I fell in love with moe. Dead and co is like a lullabye to me. I respect weir. I love Phil lesh and friends tho. And grahame lesh. And recently goose for sure. But I'm astounded that little old me fell in love like this. All it took was a bluegrass show and I fell down thenrabbit hole. Thank you, cabinet, yonder mtn ,
I bought tip toes at a consignment shop for $5 I even called the place asking if they had it and they are like uuuuuh actually one copy, snatched it right up
I grew up on southern rock...skynyrd, molly hatchet etc...Got into the jam bands with dead and allman bro. right now I'm riding the newgrass rail. Billy Strings, greensky, dead south, Molly tuttle. It's a great time to be alive!
I hope everyone who watches this goes and looks up Goose if they have not already heard them. Amazing band with an incredible library of live soundboard releases and live videos on TH-cam.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers were my exposure to jam bands, and it was awesome to finally see them live this year just jamming. You feel the chemistry between band members and the feeling of spontaneity is such a different energy.
I just moved to Colorado. We have Cowboys Dead, Dead Floyd, Dead Phish, Yonder Mountain String Band, String Cheese Incident, etc. Colorado is the Jam Band State
@@000MidnightSuneveryone has different tastes. I will say I saw Bob Weir and the wolf bros a few weeks ago and it was not great. Every song was 40 Bpm. Don't understand how someone can hear Jerry play Morning Dew and think it's boring.
I don't know that I'd have stuck with guitar had I not started listening to the Dead and Phish when I was a teenager. I go to a lot of shows for different bands and seeing it's rare you don't see a million phones up and conversations going on. You don't really see that at an Anastasio show. I was pleasantly surprised a few weeks ago when I went to Thom Yorkes and Greenwoods new band. All eyes were on the band and very few people instagraming on their phones.
What he said at 11:33. So true. Jam bands are the future extension of a bunch of folks on the porch doing their thing on acoustic instruments while their friends family and neighbors are all around them interacting.
Perfect description of an acoustic jam I went to last weekend. Lots of folks we all went to school with were in town (we have an annual town reunion called Homecoming each summer. It was great. I’m not a sit around all evening and gab kind of person, so music allows me to socialize in the way that’s most comfortable for me.
What's this guy talking about, the originals, the dead and the Allman bros. Played together all the time, sharing bills and on stage together, mostly cuz of bill Graham but this shit started with them
The second concert I ever attended was the Grateful Dead at the St. Paul Civic Center in 1981. I accompanied a friend who was a big deadhead. It was fun but in retrospect I'd have rather seen Skynyrd.
I am 30. The dead then Phish were my two biggest early influences learning guitar (about 15 years ago). At the time I found it impossible to convert my friends towards that sound. Fast forward - last year my band playing at a local dive. A beautiful 20-something gal comes up between songs to no doubt request wagon wheel or chicken fried…. But no! Alas “do you guys know and Grateful Dead?” I almost died. On John Mayer - I always think of how 15 year old me was learning dead songs before John Meyer went into his montana dead spirit journey. At first I was not a fan of dead and co. but I’ve matured since .. I LOVE what John and others have done to keep the genre going strong! Here’s hoping for a continued revival of feel good music!
Jonathan is right about the old way of playing with people hanging out and participating as best they could. Music should always involve participation. Live music does that best. I love hanging out at local open mic nights and jam nights. Meet people, play if you are a player, hang out and have fun with musicians and the audience if one is present. They are usually very spontaneous and interactive and a lot of fun for everyone there. Today sadly for many if not most, music is just an APP on a device. Instead of a way to connect to other people and share the music and the spirit and emotions it can bring. Music is no longer taught as much in schools and is not part of the lives of many, it is just a disposable commodity. Add to that the cost of entry for an instrument can be very high to many families and lessons are an even greater luxury. Most working adults don't have the time, energy and motivation required to learn a new instrument. The current economy is making that even worse for most. No surprise so many people are isolated and angry, with little human connections and no outlet for their feelings to be expressed otherwise. Except to lash out on a screen at others. Or in the streets. As an official Old Guy (tm) it is easy to observe. Go to almost any public place and all you see are craned necks of people staring at a screen in their hand. No looking around, no talking, no interaction except occasional semiblind bumping and Brownian movement in the mass. (Look it up, for those who were never taught basic science!). Absolutely no situational awareness. Your morning episodes are a fun bright spot when I think about all of that. You make me want to reach for an instrument.
Popper and Wells are some of the best, but I'm in for Carlos del Junco on harp. That guy can bend like nobody's business. More Jam and less Southern Rock? Sounds good to me! Southern Rock has absolutely jumped the shark from my point of view.
I’d recommend joining a jam band if you feel stagnant in your playing. I was a very mediocre player until I started playing with some more talented guys I went to high school with.
I saw Dead and Company on Wednesday, I've said not nice things about them, Lame, temps suck, Mayer is not Garcia. I take back everything I ever said bad about them. I was completely wrong, They tore the place up, Otiel the Bass player was stunning. So I am sorry for being a dumb ass, probably not the last time

@MrSparks54 ...but what do you expect from these young men?
I've been playin' since the early 70's. Jam bands never went away. We been kickin' butt all along.
Goose!! Fantastic band that has blown up over the last couple of years.
I grew up in Athens I was at Widespreads 2nd ever show and saw them for years after until they got too big ! Great times ! Goose is awesome as well !

@@caiusmadison2996 Is that related to the band Shoes that were big in the 80s? They're from Illinois.
I took a bunch of 14-17 year olds backpacking. To my delight they had many dead tunes on their playlist.
Gooooooseeee! 🤘
Also Phish might not get much radio play, but I love it when they pop on sports broadcasts. Every once in a while MLB will play little Phish and/or other jam band clips when they’re going to or coming back from commercials.
Blackberry Smoke. One of my favorite bands. Their songs ring true.
I’m glad another Dead fan recognized “Touch of Grey” is a great song.
Touch of Grey is the Tom Sawyer of Grateful Dead songs.
It's the only Grateful Dead song anyone has ever heard .
@@mykuntstynx9463 good comparison and just like on Rush’s place, not a bad place to start.
It never occurred to me that Dead fans would hate Touch of Gray, but I can totally see that happening. I don’t know of any Rush fan that hates Tom Sawyer. Maybe a little upset that it’s the only track you will here on the radio (I hear Freewill and Limelight too), but never hate.

Would anybody consider My Morning Jacket as a jam band? Their live shows are mind blowing. Best rock band in the game right now in my opinion.
They jam, but I don’t think that it is what defines them. Even Zeppelin and Deep Purple jam hard, but they are not “jam bands” per say.
Heavy Jam Rock Band. MMJ is that Sheet👊👊
Earthless
I love the concept of just jamming playing whatever comes out of your soul in that moment. Freestyle skills are true from an expression standpoint.
It's just a damn shame having those dudes sing.
I get up, have breakfast, then watch you guys with my coffee & a guitar Tuesday-Friday!
Blues Traveler bassist Bob Sheehan(R.I.P.) was absolutely phenominal!

Jam bands. Southern Rock. It's all good. Trends come and go but music stays. Just find the music you love and enjoy it.
Trends come and go but the road goes on forever.

Fine guitar player is a fine complement in my book
I love it when J-Rob mentions Isaac Corbitt. I've known that dude a long time and it's been awesome to watch him become the harp monster he is.
I haven’t turned-on a radio since I quit doing radio in 2009.
I hope everyone who watches this goes and looks up Goose if they have not already heard them. Amazing band with an incredible library of live soundboard releases and live videos on TH-cam.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers were my exposure to jam bands, and it was awesome to finally see them live this year just jamming. You feel the chemistry between band members and the feeling of spontaneity is such a different energy.
I’ve seen them twice this tour, and the second time around definitely had more intro and outro jams between songs.
@@joeacebo9633 Getting to see Frusciante just ripping it on Eddie live was such a treat!
Not sure I'd describe them as a jam band.
@@morganghetti yep they are not exactly a jam band, but they were certainly my entryway to jams ever since I watched their live performances as a kid.
Scotland is finally starting to understand jam bands and I’m so happy!
…although it’s still quite underground.
I just moved to Colorado. We have Cowboys Dead, Dead Floyd, Dead Phish, Yonder Mountain String Band, String Cheese Incident, etc. Colorado is the Jam Band State
I always know when I’m home, there’s a radio station that plays Panic.
Umphrey's McGee is legitimately one of the best bands on the planet
After years of Grateful Dead and Phish, those guys have been a great change from the noodling
I've seen them a couple of times and while I don't get into the songs, I love watching them play. They are pretty killer.
They are meh to me. I saw them a few years ago and every jam just sort of fizzled out. Never had that payoff you get with the Dead or Phish.
@@morganghetti the Grateful Dead are booorrrrriiinnnng
@@000MidnightSuneveryone has different tastes. I will say I saw Bob Weir and the wolf bros a few weeks ago and it was not great. Every song was 40 Bpm.
Don't understand how someone can hear Jerry play Morning Dew and think it's boring.
They never left. Phish is currently touring in their 40th year and playing shows with mostly new material.
Thanks to this channel for introducing me to Goose.
Harmonica Player-Curtis Salgado. The Blues Brother movies are based on him.
I used to really like Keller Williams. Not sure if he's technically in that genre, but the album Breath with SCI was one of my faves.
I like the new intro guys! Classy!
Skynyrd will never be eclipsed.
I like the new into.
I don't know that I'd have stuck with guitar had I not started listening to the Dead and Phish when I was a teenager.
I go to a lot of shows for different bands and seeing it's rare you don't see a million phones up and conversations going on. You don't really see that at an Anastasio show.

The movie Tiptoes is pretty amazing, I highly recommend it.
Chris Robinson of the Crowds is a huge Dead Head, His solo band was dead inspired.
I'm hearing a lot of country music is almost like Southern rock now!
The bear puts a TWINKle in my eye
We’re not too bad ourselves heyyyyy
“Super Hippies”. Thanks for the laugh.

'even John Mayers kinda old now'...... I'm the same age as John Mayer. Cheers Jonathan! 😭
My son is older than John Mayer. 😕
Souther rock and jam bands --- all good!!! 👍👍🤪🤪
Jam bands? Strawberry jam is my personal favorite but I'm definitely into all the jams...
Cracks me up how the term "jam" is used now...like a couple of guys playing folk songs say they "jam"
What's this guy talking about, the originals, the dead and the Allman bros. Played together all the time, sharing bills and on stage together, mostly cuz of bill Graham but this shit started with them
Back? They never left.
I’ve been listening to King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard based on their name alone. 😂
Yes🤟
Baxter and Jonathan have the hold on "jam talk."
I saw widespread panic once. that's four hours of my life i'll never get back. Bring back punk!!
Punk is the worst genre
@@mikek8895 it not the best genre, but it doesn't have endless guitar soloing. That makes it ten times more interesting than a jam band.
The second concert I ever attended was the Grateful Dead at the St. Paul Civic Center in 1981. I accompanied a friend who was a big deadhead. It was fun but in retrospect I'd have rather seen Skynyrd.
Movie. Sound of Freedom ! And Passion of Christ. Resurrection.
Old dudes rule

There hasn't been a time in my rather long life, I couldn't find a jam band.
Casey Jones you better watch yer speed!
Unpopular Opinion. No song needs to be longer than Radar Love.
John Scofield Uber Jam band
King Gizzard Rules them all.
Phil Lesh. Uh. Little Feat !
Jam bands are way better than jelly bands
Not familiar with Goose but Yonder Mountain String Band and String Cheese Incident are excellent jam bands. Even for an old sober guy like myself.
Primus 😶
The best jam bands are in the middle of the venn diagram…southern rock jam bands!
King gizzard and the lizard wizard are the new dead! just as unlistenable sober 😂
Yo bro s.
What’s the guitar on Mr Goose Commanders’ left shouler ?
The goldish one with Bigsby and cream pick guard/ scratch plate.
