3 bands I see Live the most (Besides Furthur/Phil/Dead)...


Phish


Umphreys McGee


Primus/Les Claypool

if you are ever in the west end vancouver bc, check out bob cat sundays at dover arms www.doverarmspub.com/events-bob_cats.php www.bobcatsband.com/

they are old farts & thus good players

lately outside of gd music the live stuff i've been digging on most is Jim page who is a local seattle folkie that writes some of the best tunes you've ever heard, as well as plays a mean guitar. baby gramps (another seattelite) a true old timey music legend. i try to see les claypool as often as possible as well as dylan and leo kottke and todd snider. oh and los lobos. i go to tons of stuff and enjoy most of it but those are some of my favs.

check out blue moon saloon 45th U dist sundays for GD stuff. kuli loach plays there & sometimes also at the old peculiar
