are by far the best bands i've ever seen live. i know i dig the hippie jam sound. and i've hear most of the other big names, including phish, umphrey's mcgee, and the string cheese incident. i'm looking for any other jam style musicians...hell...or even some fusion jazz or something. with that same sort of vibe. that controlled intensity that releases into a climax that just makes the entire crowd go nuts. anyone know of any other bands like this?
here are some bands that i love seeing live. disco biscuits particle widespread panic moe the new deal sound tribe sector9 check those bands out! soulive has some pretty heady jams too
I 2nd Bisco. I listen to their boots from the summer tour with a shit eating grin, think about seeing them live!
for now i want to know if you are talking about medeski martin and wood... i will compile a list later, but many have already been mentioned...franti and spearhead live UNBELIEVABLE
i listened some some franti and spearhead on youtube not too long ago and it was too howie day ish for my tastes. still gotta check out the rest though.
Jazz mandolin project. So many different styles of music from this band. and they can definitely build and layer a jam to climax. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Hp5rJGohtE&feature=related - '3minutes' of nice jam building https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qav2CtRXNtw&feature=related - '21seconds' closer to climax Benevento Russo Duo A piano genius and a percussion genius. They can get the crowd moving through out the whole show and they can construct a jam like no other. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MJsAANu6X8&feature=related '5minutes' of jam building to climax. Unfortunately neither of these bands are touring right now.
seeing them live man is a RUSH, its a work out, and just god damn i've seen them probably 5 times, and man i love that man and his band!!! i don't see how he is howie dayish at all to be honest ima find some good shit for you dreanged
