OK, Jam Band fans. Here's the poll

[WilliamPitt]

Who's the best?

[GumboYaYa]

1. I'm leaving in an hour or so

to go see Robert Randolph & Family. Woohooo...I'm psyched, those guys rock.

Good bands in the choices, but I would add Galactic to the list. IMO they are the baddest of all jam bands.

[WilliamPitt]

3. Oh MAN

Where? I am so jealous. Randolph is a God.

[GumboYaYa]

5. He is opening for Dave Matthews.

I'm more psyched to see Robert Randolph than I am to see Dave Matthews.

<ON EDIT> They are playing at UMB Pavillion in St. Louis tonight.

[WilliamPitt]

6. And well you should be

Where?

[Rabrrrrrr]

2. Where's String Cheese Incident? Galactic?

Other bands favored by the DU - I found out about them from DUers! They're no Grateful Dead, who still reigns supreme, but they're pretty good!

[WilliamPitt]

4. There in there now n/t

[phishhead]

7. Of the bands of I've seen on that list, Phish.

Very good list of bands there WillPitt. About time someone had a poll about jam music.

Of the bands of I've seen on that list though(phish, string cheese, moe, disco biscuits), Phish is my choice. They got me into the whole jamband scene to begin with.

Grateful Dead would be an obvious choice, but I've only seen the Other Ones, so I didn't get to experience them in their prime.



A band to checkout(if you're into jambands): Ekoostik Hookah.

8. I went with the Brothers

And I'd put Gov't Mule as a CLOSE second. :-)

[buddhamama]

11. whoa. that was tough

i settled on the grateful dead
but string cheese incident is real good too.

12. Got to go with the Brothers

especially after seeing them jam with Little Feat - what an amazing show that was! (unfortunately it was the early 90s - well after Lowell George)

[Maddy McCall]

13. I've never heard Widespread Panic

but a student came up to me after class on Tuesday night, and told me that she has a CD she wants me to borrow, that she studied for the Aztec portion of the midterm by listening to their song Montezuma.

She said she has been to over SEVENTY of their shows...she really adores them...I need to learn more about them, I guess.

15. Its moe., you can't for get the period.....

You left another one off the list: Govt. Mule.

[WilliamPitt]

16. I was out of spots.
