New Year's Eve Downloads and Torrents

tags: Chicago, Disco Biscuits, keller williams, les claypool, moe., nyc, phil lesh, tea leaf green, Umphrey's McGeeOne thing that is super great about the jamband scene is its full embrace of New Year's Eve as a time when musicians should really go nuts for themselves (AND for the fans). Any touring musician would say that there's not a whole lot of time to rest, especially if they've done a Fall tour and plan on making trips out in the Spring, so it's understandable that some bands still need a break and don't book NYE shows.
Still, many bands use New Year's Eve as a full-on ragefest where they can prove their full worth, complete with a balloon drop, confetti, and Auld Lang Syne thrown in for tradition's sake. I've put my money on Umphrey's McGee for the past three years (probably our last), and I plan on attending NYE shows in the future as a tradition of my own...
If you missed out on New Year's Eve shows this year, you can relive as much of the glory as I could find in a downloadable format. Email me if you find other NYE shows that should be included on the list below...
