Tonight’s Phil’s 83rd bdayThat Phil Lesh and Friends playing the capitol tonight had some 20 minute live stream preview from Relix. Love John Medeski and saw the main guy from Goose is there.
Tonight’s Phil’s 83rd bday
Having completed the 5-day Cap run......they've risen to yet another level IMO.Always been a Spafford guy but Goose will end up being superior over the long-haul. Spafford still feels like an accessible band to go see that delivers similar musical value at half the cost. Still enjoy Goose though -- they're just a little robotic/gimmicky for me at this point after seeing them 6-7 times. I probably need to listen to their new material to get a sense for how they sound today.
Great to hear. They're going to be (deservingly) a big deal. I heard people we're a little "meh" about Jimmy Fallon's encore however, lol.Having completed the 5-day Cap run......they've risen to yet another level IMO.
Goose has become an over night sensation and deservingly so but let’s see how long it will last. Will Ric stay and devote 100% of his energy with the band, does he try solo side stuff that will take time from the band or does he decide to start a new project on his own. That is the question. The bands success is really driven by being on the road consistently.
Spafford is a band that has been around longer than most think. Brian Moss is a great guitarist and I love his work. Losing Red on the keys is huge but with a young family and 12 years on the road takes its toll. Cory is a great replacement and gives the group a slightly different sound. Can’t wait to see them in Holyoke and Hartford very soon.
Phil and Friends- I can take or leave. To be honest I miss Ratdog of all the peel off GD bands. Dark Star orchestra is a capable and highly recommended alternative. They played a great 71 Felt Forum show (not a mirror image but a mix up} this past Monday night at the Hartford Infinity.
JRAD is the best Dead offshoot band.I like all the offsho
What about JRad? I've never seen them but have wanted to.
