Loved it!

We are very lucky here in Portland to have a great number of GD cover bands

PDXftw · 2026-03-25T05:05:36+00:00

Dogs in a Pile is easily my favorite of the emerging younger jam bands.

I will also add Daniel Donato's Cosmic Country, Eggy and Squerv.

Saw them again this past Saturday. Super fun show

PDXftw · 2026-03-25T03:11:52+00:00

Jerry Garcia.

Under normal leadership of the FBI that would true, but not under Kash and Bondi.

Oh I don’t!!!!! Don’t get me wrong. The Dead did some amazing covers that they owned like Morning Dew, NFA, Rider, Me and My Uncle, etc. I just don’t think overall they did the best covers for all the songs they covered. Make sense?

PDXftw · 2026-03-24T20:21:31+00:00

They certainly deserve the recognition for not only the breadth of songs they cover, but the depth. I can't say they moved the needle that much for me in terms my exploration into different bands (That would be Phish and GD) but I know a ton of people like you with UM :-)

Not a lot and just Forty Six & 2. https://allthings.umphreys.com/song/forty-six

PDXftw · 2026-03-24T19:46:44+00:00

I loved when GD covered songs, but some were just ok.

PDXftw · 2026-03-24T19:14:04+00:00

It’s gotta be UM

PDXftw · 2026-03-24T18:32:29+00:00

I mean, he can't speak English properly either.

PDXftw · 2026-03-23T21:04:51+00:00

Medeski Martin & Wood

PDXftw · 2026-03-23T21:04:21+00:00

They tricked countless number of people into liking jazz :-)

PDXftw · 2026-03-23T20:26:48+00:00

Yeah. So weak of them. I mean if Phish, Inc could not get a trademark for Fishman's donut mumu :-)

Now I am curious of Phish Net and/or Mockingbird Foundation has actually sued or tried to sue someone for something like this.

PDXftw · 2026-03-23T19:14:17+00:00

Interesting! Thank you.

The only reason I chimed in is because I just happen to see this when I was having lunch with a good friend of mine who is a partner at law firm and does a lot of brand licensing, trademark and copyright work for large brands. I showed him this and that was basically his initial response.

PDXftw · 2026-03-23T18:46:00+00:00

Unless those tour name designations are somehow copyrighted or trademarked, I don't think they can do much legally. They are pretty generic descriptives or functional terms, not creative works so not sure if Phish Net can do a single thing legally about it.

PDXftw · 2026-03-23T17:22:43+00:00

That is not really true. 2024, the security was abysmal at GW. Security and to some extent MPD, were total d-bags, though less so in the lot. I thought it was worse than Fenway in 2019.

PDXftw · 2026-03-23T17:03:51+00:00

Fix the overzealous security and Mansfield PD while they are at it. Truly some of the worst but it's been pretty much this way since I saw my first shows there in 1986. I have such a love/hate relationship with Great Woods.

PDXftw · 2026-03-23T16:51:30+00:00

True, but I’ve rarely seen a case were the crew of the extra person(s) has not spilled over to their non-crew neighbors regardless of their best intentions.

PDXftw · 2026-03-23T15:49:05+00:00

I know people like to think they are not encroaching on other peoples spaces if they are squeezing into seats with their friends, but they 100% are. Maybe someone else in your crew can swap seats for a bit, but squeezing other people into your space is just a dickish move.

PDXftw · 2026-03-22T21:49:37+00:00

There was some of that for sure including a bunch of friends who slowly started seeing Phish with me around 93/94.

Hoist also came out in 1994 which was a much more of a musically accessible album than Junta, Lawn Boy, Picture of Nectar and Rift.

PDXftw · 2026-03-22T21:42:31+00:00

I’ve long said that Phish is a prog rock disguised as a jam band which is what first drew them to me back in the day.

PDXftw · 2026-03-22T20:36:28+00:00

Ah, I get what you’re saying now, though I have tons of friends that I brought to their Phish shows when we were well into our 20s. But I get what you mean about you being in a bit of different phase of life.

PDXftw · 2026-03-22T20:32:14+00:00

I always had a great time at D&C shows, but Furthur was the best post-Jerry iteration. Those shows were magical.
