Subject: nice

NJPG - not bashing these guys at all, but I totally hear you. I have been questing for exactly what you describe: bands that follow the Dead's tradition of writing really good tunes but also opening up and improvising (i.e., not groove and not electronica - that's a different beast). There's an NYC band called Small Craft Warning that I think does this really well. They have a bunch of shows up on archive. Moonalice is good, and Max Creex is one of my favorites. Haven't found too many others going down this path.

That being said, this is a nice recording and I am not knocking some diversity! Worth a listen.

Subject: Not my thing.

If you like things that are normally called "songs", "tunes", etc., this might not be for you. I'm not qualified to rate it. These textural, soundscapey things go right over my head. Maybe I'm too old. The cool thing about the Dead was that you could dance to their jams, yeah, but you could also listen to the songs, which I find missing from a lot of 21st Century jam music. I came up listening to the Beatles & my mom & dad's old folk records. To each his own, sure, but I wish talented jam bands would move slightly away from the textures and more into tunes. It's the difference between wallpaper and a painting.

This is a real jam. I really dug it. Pretty good sound. Thanks tapers.

Subject: Down right insane!

I know this can be a touchy subject among certain heads, but has anyone noticed that the first two cd's are 100% seamless transitions. Yeah, thats right- seamless. From the first track: That's the call people > Cars. This show goes everywhere and continually lands on it's feet. What an amazing bunch of musicians.
But realize there are no vocals, if you want to add another GFunk show to your portfolio with vocals then 1-06-6 is a must.
BTW Kit is a jam on the theme to Knight Rider- how fun is that!
Peace and much groove!

Subject: music is alive and well

its always refreshing to hear musicians get together and make music. non of this pre canned bullshit, but music. the idea of living in the moment. the pretense is stripped away. music takes a step back from that which we have come to know as a commodity, and once again fulfills its humanist function . . .a function that enables community to respond in a rich and multifaceted manner removed one step, perhaps two, or perhaps simultaneously existing with complete awareness of the other, yet the other is treated with indifference not hostility . . . it is yours to destroy and we will go on as we are. i refuse to believe that music should be treated as commodity, removed from the creators and the event . . . the participation in re-creation. there are moments throughout this show when everything crumbles in front of you, the reminder of flux, and the denial of invariance, yet. . . it is within that which crumbles, that which provides change through the intiation of the transitory that we are constantly reminded of the ephemeral, of the absurdity of circumstance, and the importance of flow. . .
i would like to thank all of you involved with this performance for a moment of MUSIC.

This show is the very loose, yet very entertaining late night show from the second night of the Bobolink Music Festival. Many special guests throughout (in fact, by the end of the set it's more of a Delta Nove set than a Global Funk set...but that's the beauty of the show). The monsoon-like rains earlier in the day had taken down the PA system, so this set is done all instrumental on the band's instrument amps. No microphones in this one kids.

This one's a little different, but a keeper for sure.
