I’m over my wishy-washy indecision about which show to review up next for y’all. I decided that this one is best because it is one of my “desert island picks” to borrow a term from Born Again Ben’s recent post (that is, to those of you not familiar with the term, one of my top five favorite Dead… Continue reading Joby's Retro Reviews Volume IV (9/20/1970 Fillmore East)
There’s a lot of music floating around out there these days that falls under the greater umbrella of rock and roll, but doesn’t really subscribe to any specific genre therein. Bending and blending genres has almost become a genre unto its self. Not that I’m complaining, and not that it hasn’t always been this way… Continue reading Umphrey's McGee Ties One On in Boulder
I realize more and more every day since the summer of 2008 started, that a sizeable number of people have never been to the Mishawaka Amphitheater, and a good portion of those that have never visited have never even heard about it. Gasp! It is becoming unfathomable to me that people have never heard of… Continue reading Rain Down On Me: EOTO @ The Mish
Since it has been over four years that Phish has toured, it is easy to forget how exciting and inspiring it can be to watch them play. Though there has been a recent slew of delightful audio performances released, the emergence of the Walnut Creek DVD (recorded at the famed venue in North Carolina during their 1997 summer tour) finally gives… Continue reading Phish: Walnut Creek DVD

On a clear summer night under a bright moon with a cool breeze, few places are finer to be, period. It is a venue ideally suited to big sounds and bright lights, as both of these… Continue reading My Morning Jacket Lands at Red Rocks
It’s no secret that some of the best music, or at least the most outspoken, comes out of times of turmoil. The 60’s and 70’s were a heyday for such music, much of it politically righteous and fervently anti-establishment. But there was a lot to be righteous about back then, and in times when there… Continue reading State Radio | Year of the Crow | Review
One thing you can say about guitar virtuoso Greg Howe is he doesn’t always take himself seriously. His recent release, Sound Proof, sports a cover of him in the act of trashing a guitar and a speaker. The back also boasts an image of him sitting with a pair of earphones on, screaming as if… Continue reading Greg Howe Gets Real
In many ways the Grateful Dead’s music was destined from the beginning to be a symphony, much as the band itself was an orchestra with core members and a rotating cast lending a hand. When I was a kid and my father would listen to them I would immediately be able to draw similarities due… Continue reading Lee Johnson's Dead Symphony #6 Live
The Grateful Web was on-hand at last night’s Emmitt Nershi Band show at the Boulder Theater. We have some pictures and videos clips from the show. Thanks to the folks at the Theater for their warm hospitality. Enjoy, The Grateful Web
