Now those guys push the outer limits of jam band, but c'mon. C Brown? Love that song

Leftover Salmon too.
Remember Rusted Root? I used to love them too.

I like some songs but I think my husband has dragged me to so many shows in the 16 years together that I might just be bitter/jaded.  My fav WSP song is climb to safety.

I'm with you. Hands down the best show of my life was the Ramones. It was a reunion or something? Anyway, incredible show, over in 40 minutes. Awesome!!!

I've been to exactly one "jam" concert. It was at UVA, and Trey Anastasio was playing w/ his band (not Phish). I was super drunk after wine tasting all afternoon, and they had wine at the concert. So I thought it was, like the BEST CONCERT EVER. But I listened to the CD of it afterwards when I was sober. It wasn't. I was just drunk.

The end.

[mcfelix]

Back in the day I did... Phish and Moe in particular.

It's been forever since I've been to any concert though. My youth has escaped me!!!

[kristie]

I don't think Dave counts, so no.

DH is obsessed with phish. Their music seriously makes me anxious. The songs just build and build and build and never resolve. He will have it playing in the car hoping I won't notice it is them and after ten minutes I start getting pissed and ask if it is phish.

WSP was just here for chattanoogas yearly music festival thing, it is normally a crowded festival but with all the panic fans within a 500 mile radius heading this way plus the normal crowd I avoided it like the plague.

We have such similar taste!!! My husband is seeing cheese tonight and somehow got invited to a meet and greet.  All of the member of cheese signed a shirt for our friend that had a terrible accident last month.  My husband said they were really nice too.

Oh I forgot God Street Wine. My friend and I used to go to a couple of their shows a year.

Omg my husband loves them. When they started playing shows again after being retired for years, we went to their 2 shows.  

[urbancowgirl]

The only jam band I like is the Grateful Dead. I've only been listening them for the past few years, but my DH grew up listening to them. It's the perfect background music, IMO.

[PinkSquirrel]

Yep.

The Dead used to be my favorited, but Phish has totally stolen my heart.
MGB
SCI
moe.
Mule
The Breakfast
Strangefolk will always be one of my first loves

And not jam, but if you like funk ... check out Big ol Dirty Bucket

I too am pretty meh on WSP. I don't hate them, but I certainly don't love them either.

ETA I hate the Disco Biscuits with the most firey of passions

[spellingbea]

No. Ain't nobody got time for that.

I haven't seen SCI live, but they are on my list

I do see Umphrey's and Phish a couple of times a year, I especially love that Phish does so many East coast shows! 

Do you come to come to ca for any phish shows?

[walterismydog]

Nope, not really. I've heard a few songs here and there that I like, but mostly they all sound the same to me and their songs are entirely too long.

[Jalapeñomel]

God no.

[chickadee77]

Love. My H used to be a manager, though, and we've hung out with a lot of the band members (who are mostly a lot of fun), so I'm sure that affects my opinion a bit. WSP's music has taken a weird turn over the past few years that I'm not as big of a fan, but I still enjoy their older stuff. Still love Phish and Trey, SCI, and most of the others, though I've been out of the "scene" for awhile.

I also grew up around a heavy jazz influence, so I think that lends itself to my enjoyment of jam bands. I realize they're not everyone's thing, lol.

[alzi]

Yes. If there are bongos, I'm especially happy.

lilafowler, Serenity9, AutumnRose25, and I are a jam band called Narcoleptic Donkeys. We're pretty good.

I provide the "smokey" jam band atmosphere.

AND I play a mean cardboard paper towel tube didgeridoo.
