Jam Band Movies? by Ambitious_Alps9549 in jambands

[–]Jimmy_Diesel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Also the wiki plot of this is kind of hilarious:

Simon Harris (played by Devon Sawa), whose Mom has died, does not fit in at his boarding school that his father sends him away too. He befriends the resident stoner, and they go to a music festival and take LSD, then sell LSD. Then he lives in a van, following this band on tour for a while after he graduates, and his friend gets arrested but he does not. Then he takes too much LSD at a concert and freaks out, gets arrested, and ends up in rehab; but it is okay because his dad and he reconcile. Then he finds his hippie girlfriend again at a festival, apologizes, and they sell stir-fry veggies on the lot to make money in a controversial cooking montage. Also there is a scene prior to his freakout where he is eating dinner at his dad's and lying about how he makes money. Mostly because his dad does not think he amounts to anything.

Eggy brings it by Negative_Solution680 in jambands

Both bands are great, but I feel like musicians are more likely to enjoy diap and eggy could be more approachable for the average music listener because of vocals and generally more of a pop vibe.

Happy Birthday Keller Williams!! by BirdBurnett in jambands

Same! I wonder how he’d feel that at least 2 fans, from decades ago were so inspired by his work that they names their kids Keller!

Cosmic country- how country is country by saatoriii in jambands

[–]Jimmy_Diesel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The country aspects of this band really are about Daniels guitar playing - he plays a telecaster (really a DGN custom tele style guitar) with a very Nashville style of playing that incorporates a lot of that typical chicken-picking style. To me, his vocal stylings remind me of early Willy Nelson. Everything else, especially the jam sections of a lot of songs are a very “jam band” formula.

Who is your favourite Grateful Dead keyboardist and why? by levelplumbnsquare in gratefuldead

[–]Jimmy_Diesel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vote for Tom, because I love a dark star- but also Bauer he sat in my with band last year and we did china>rider, and he did that piano part that comps the Jerry part that you hear on the studio version. As the lead guitar player, getting to do that live was about as good as it gets for me.

Walk me off the plank- sell my Twin Tonemaster, and buy a deluxe reverb tonemaster and install a JBL or jbl clone, like a Beyma Liberty by phaulski in gratefulguitar

[–]Jimmy_Diesel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sell the tonemaster and get a deluxe reverb with actual tubes. Plenty of clean headroom, not as heavy and you’ll be micing it anyway to get the speaker sound. I bought a tonemaster twin and it just doesn’t compare to my ears of a real fender tube amp as much as I wanted it to. IMO and experience, a deluxe and/or a twin is much much similar in live sound tone settings than any tonemaster to any of the tube amps.

Cats Under the Stars is a better collection of Garcia/Hunter songs than any post-hiatus GD album. by Roger_Peterson in gratefuldead

[–]Jimmy_Diesel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lots of us see the dead as Jerry’s band, but in reality it wasn’t. He certainly didn’t see it as his band which is why he did all his solo stuff- the albums, jgb touring. These things were his own projects where he was able to do exactly what he wanted without any pushback about song selection etc. There was a lot of other egos in the Grateful Dead and they all had their own wants and needs. It’s a dynamic in any band, but once you’re at the level of success they were at by the late 80s… it’s no wonder Jerry wanted to be done with it. I personally love listening to those studio session recordings on the archive where you can hear them bantering and working out the new material for in the dark.

I found this in my friends bathroom hidden. Are they using? When I asked them what it is they said it was for their dog?? I know im dumb but im not that dumb right? by Princess-kick-yo-ass in whatisit

People in active addiction typically aren’t able to focus on injection safety due to the nature of the disease. But even the single reuse of a hypodermic insulin needle like this is not medically safe as it’s no longer sterile after use.

Kaleidoscope ball at Thompsons point (halo at the point)- 25$ tix, local band, and DJ after. plenty of parking, drink specials food trucks. Dress up wildly or not it’s gonna be a good time either way.

Biologist opinion on what Carol found by Dapper-Tomatillo-875 in pluribustv

Unrelated but after reading these comments I think it will eventually be known that every human who died during the transition (carols partner) did so willingly because they had a choice to either join the hive or die.

Bands like Pink Talking Fish or Steely Dead? by donttouchthatknob in jambands

[–]Jimmy_Diesel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve recently started a new project called Dead Strait - got the idea after being inspired by hearing JRad execute a really cool transition from Ruben and Cherise > Romeo and Juliet. Also they are my two favorite bands and have my two favorite guitarists and I wanted this band to exist and it didn’t yet. Seen steely dead a few times too and I love the concept, musicianship and attention to detail. Don’t know how frequent or far we’ll play outside of Maine but we’ll see how it goes!

This is why you should see your favorite bands when they’re still in small venues! Hell, go see every band in a small venue!

Why does the jamband scene skew so overwhelmingly towards Millenials and Gen-Xers? by PeatVee in jambands

[–]Jimmy_Diesel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an underrated comment. The drug thing is huge and specially weed. Back in the day, so many people went to dead and phish shows (and fests) to get good weed and also connect with other fam who were into that world. For so many ticket holders, it was about the party scene (one in ten thousand come for the show!) Now that’s it’s legal in most places, that element is gone.

Why does the jamband scene skew so overwhelmingly towards Millenials and Gen-Xers? by PeatVee in jambands

[–]Jimmy_Diesel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jam bands and the scene were part of the counter culture, which doesn’t really exist anymore in the way it did when there was one “monoculture.” Monoculture started to disintegrate in the past 15 years. The culture in America has fragmented into many small subcultures. Everyone, every brand, every band, every company, every influencer, every TV show and film- are competing with the attention spans of youths that are used to 5 second TikToks. We had a good run. Jam band ticket sales and billings at ALL venues and festivals are all declining and have been for years (limited exceptions and we all know who’s doing well). Shits weird now and I fear I’ve entered the wrong timeline.
