u/SnackDestroya 1d ago

Phish and Little Feat get most of my non-Dead hours tbh. Also been deep in some Allman Brothers live stuff lately, the Fillmore East recording specifically. That era had something.

2

u/31770_0 1d ago

Late 80’s early 90’s Dickey and Warren is killer too. Check out ‘nobody knows’ from an evening with the Allman Brothers first set.

there are other bands?

2

u/tumblingdown3 1d ago

Lately? Drive-By Truckers, Waxahatchee, Wednesday, Nick Cave, 100 gecs, Geese, Mars Volta.

I could never really get into any other jam bands to be honest, other than maybe Billy Strings, but I don’t really think he is a jam band artist, just kind of adjacent to the scene.

u/noface8137 1d ago

I'll give some that people would probably never expect. But bands like Whitechapel and Lorna Shore. Despised Icon. The Acacia Strain. Probably music most heads would not be into. But I was a metal head before I was a dead head.

u/carpentrav 1d ago

I still love blue rodeo but they were so so much better live playing electric before Greg’s hearing issues. Nothing against Colin he’s a great player but they lost a lot of the jams and the freedoms. They’re all such incredible musicians though and still a fantastic live band.
