Yonder Mountain String Band | Fillmore | Denver, CO | 12/30/09

Catching hometown jamgrass legends Yonder Mountain String Band has become a Denver holiday tradition, as the band has performed New Year’s Eve concerts here every year for the better part of the last decade.  From electric performances at the Paramount Theater, a supporting/collaborative effort last year with Widespread Panic at the Pepsi Center, to multiple… Continue reading Yonder Mountain String Band | Fillmore | Denver, CO | 12/30/09

Phish | 2009>2010 | Miami, Florida | New Years Run

The Grateful Web has been working our butts off to get videos up from the big four night Phish run down in Miami.  Many of the videos up are up now… and more will be coming soon.

10 Notable Albums of the Past 10 Years

There have been a number of fantastic albums over the past decade. Take this list at face value. The title sums it up perfectly. Here are simply 10 of the many albums I have enjoyed over the past 10 years. I have not bothered to number them. That would be foolish. I hate sources that… Continue reading 10 Notable Albums of the Past 10 Years

Furthur: From Blindness to Light | NYC

For the entire first set of Furthur at the horribly oversold Hammerstein Ballroom on Wednesday night December 9th, I could not see the band at all. Lucky me. While it might seem counter-intuitive at first, being “ears only” allows for true liberation to experience and liberation by experience. This blindness led to the lightness of… Continue reading Furthur: From Blindness to Light | NYC

Greg's Favorites of 2009

Ah yes it is that time of year again. It is the time of year when critics put out their best of lists. There will be more lists this year with the new decade thing going on (shameless plug for my next article).  Here is what I came up with for this year, enjoy.  … Continue reading Greg's Favorites of 2009

Toubab Krewe | The Jefferson Theatre | Review

While Phish was ending its musically-epic fall tour at John Paul Jones Arena, in Charlottesville, and while the world was being introduced to The Naked Guy, a new music venue prepared to greet guests for the ‘Official Phish Aftershow, with Toubab Krewe.” The Jefferson Theatre played host to the event, and also the night’s charity… Continue reading Toubab Krewe | The Jefferson Theatre | Review

The Seldom Scene | Paramount Theatre | 11/19/09 | Review

Thanksgiving is a glorious time, here in Central Virginia.  The tourist-laden leaf season is over, yet plenty of post-peak autumnal glory hangs around to be enjoyed, for a little while longer.  Days can still be quite warm, and nights are deliciously cool and refreshing. Thanksgiving, football, and the coming Christmas season beckon.  And suddenly there… Continue reading The Seldom Scene | Paramount Theatre | 11/19/09 | Review

Obama, Busted Bass Amp, and a Naked Guy: Phish Charlottesville, Va. 12/5/09

2009 has been one helluva year, hasn’t it? We all started out in January, with the electric energy of a pending Inauguration of Barack Obama as President of the United States.  And we also had the knowledge that Phish was gonna tour again.  I for one, recall standing outside on NYE, and holding my hands… Continue reading Obama, Busted Bass Amp, and a Naked Guy: Phish Charlottesville, Va. 12/5/09

Davy Knowles & the Back Door Slam | Stubbs | Austin, TX | Review

Is this guy for real!  I only ask such a silly question because this talented Davy Knowles is ripping some nasty good blues that threaten to blow your head off. This sexy young Brit was at Stubb’s in Austin for his national tour with the Back Door Slam, December 6th.  Following the release of their… Continue reading Davy Knowles & the Back Door Slam | Stubbs | Austin, TX | Review
