Has Furthur every played The Main Ten? Not calling it as an opener, just wondering if they ever play that. I really dig that jam. I would like to see a Russo drum solo! He blows my mind everytime I see him. While he does unleash the proverbial beast when he plays King Solomon's, a full-fledged solo would make me a very happy guy.
the main ten was a riff/jam that would become the basis for playin' in the band.
it actually refers to it's time signature, 10 beats per meter, like the 11
essentially everytime you hear playin' you are hearing the main ten riff
