Sadly, I couldn’t make it to last night’s Bustle In Your Hedgerow show @ Brooklyn Bowl, but judging by reports and a couple videos posted today, it looks like it was one for the books. Check out Questlove sitting in on drums for “The Wanton Song” (above), as well as this up-close-and-personal view of “No [...]

The Wood Brothers have put together a nice late summer/early fall tour in support of their new album, Smoke Ring Halo, which was produced by Jim Scott (Johnny Cash, Tom Petty) and released on Southern Ground Artists (Zac Brown’s independent label). I’m digging this little promo video they put together featuring the tune “Shoofly Pie.” [...]

Here’s some lift-off for your Thursday morning at work; the “Light” jam in the first night of Tahoe is definitely interesting. I’ve only re-listened to it all the way through once, but I’ll definitely be spending more time on that in the next few days.

Adjust yer eyes to the state of things I arrived solo on Tuesday night still in a zombie daze from Monday night’s Phish show, and posted up on the 2nd tier of the floor to watch former LCD Soundsystem touring member and mad scientist David Scott Stone dazzle away on a modulator synthesizer for a [...]

Thumbnail image for Phish @ Hollywood Bowl, Los Angeles 8/8/11

Phish rolled through Hollywood last night and chose to bust-out a somewhat non-obvious cover given the geography. In the middle of a second set of big heavy hitters, the band turned a Weekapaug Groove into a HYHU style affair with Trey switching to drums, leading to Fishman switching to a mini drum-set, and then a [...]

Thumbnail image for Video: Phish – “Rock & Roll” – Live at the Gorge, 8/5/11

I had a chance to listen to a few tracks from Phish’s first night at the Gorge. While the “Roggae” was definitely interesting (per Justin’s take), I think the clear standout of the night was the band’s nearly 20-minute cover of the Velvet Underground’s “Rock and Roll,” which featured a large amount of improv and [...]
