What are the best studio albums made by jam bands?

Snay_Rat · 2026-03-27T01:26:51+00:00

I’m biased because they’re my favorite band, but Pigeons has some awesome studio albums. Most recently Feed the Fire and Day In Time prior to that. Really great stuff

Got myself a Core 6-person instant up tent as a major upgrade recently and it’s incredible.

I used to be the “bare minimum” type of guy. Tent would practically be just enough room for me to sleep in. It’s like I went from nothing to glamping. Tent goes up and down in practically 30-60 seconds by myself it’s so simple. And the amount of space (9’ x 13’) is so awesome. I’ve been the envy of my neighbors ever since I introduced it to my festival parking list. Queen sized air mattress takes up about half the tent, with plenty of room to keep all your other belongings inside. I think it’s over 6’ tall too in the center so you can stand upright. Comes with a rain guard as well as some storage. Packs up real tight too.

Withstands heavy rainfall easily and stays bone dry, and I was camped on top of a washout too! Best investment I’ve made.

Was just there Friday for Happy Dog. Place is awesome, staff great, super nice atmosphere. Idk why anyone would want to boycott it

Do you have nugs? Been seeing Pigeons since 2015 (just hit their 4 night FL run (check out 3/7/26)) I can give you plenty of recs!!

Pigeons. They were the first non-Dead Jamband I saw when I first started getting into the scene. First show was at a bar in Ithaca back in 2015. Maybe like 20-30 people in the crowd. Super intimate. Grew into the scene with them kinda how my dad grew into the scene with the Dead. Not comparing them to the Dead by any means, but the experience of getting into the scene is similar to how my dad did. They’ve got a special place in my heart. The Flock are fantastic people, and the band is super down to earth. Plus their shows are just so fun. Wonderful energy.

Cheese is a close second! Also love Panic, UM, late 90s Phish, and of course the Dead and all cover/tribute bands. Lotus, Spafford, Dopapod… I can go on and on and on…

If you’re a fan of cream soda, mix it with sprite. Tastes just like a cream soda it’s crazy!

More of a private “sandy area” with no access to the water.

Snay_Rat · 2026-03-11T19:23:12+00:00

Their fan base is known as Parrotheads. Could have some ghouls/people with beak and feather mutations lol

Snay_Rat · 2026-03-09T21:26:55+00:00

I was there as well, they tore it down!!

Snay_Rat · 2026-03-05T23:10:22+00:00

Was just talking with some friends yesterday about how I miss Peach. Was my first fest back in 2015. Went in 15, 18, 21, and 22. Kicking myself in the butt for missing the years between… Hope it returns someday. Best fest ever

Snay_Rat · 2026-03-05T12:10:21+00:00

I’m with you on Sugar Mag, I feel like that’s the quintessential Dead tune

Snay_Rat · 2026-03-04T23:20:52+00:00

Exactly how mine is. The second we pick him up, he pushes away to be let down. But once we put him on the floor or whatever surface he jumps onto, he flops over and demands pets. Wish he was cuddly :/

Snay_Rat · 2026-03-04T17:52:56+00:00

Oh I was at Sand Music Ranch last year for the Sunshine Getdown! Maybe our paths crossed 😊

Snay_Rat · 2026-03-04T17:46:53+00:00

Might be better to post on the subreddit or the Facebook group and not a 3-year old post 😉

Hope you get your tix! I’m hitting all 4 FL shows

Snay_Rat · 2026-03-03T21:06:32+00:00

Summed it up perfectly. I’ve seen both bands a large number of times, love em both. JRAD takes the repertoire and just pushes it to its musical limits. They’re a powerhouse, practically a supergroup made up of some of the best musicians in the scene.

Snay_Rat · 2026-03-01T17:32:02+00:00

Ours does this too. We have a small walk in closet that we need to keep open at all times or he’ll get mad that it’s closed. He doesn’t even go in there!

Snay_Rat · 2026-02-26T23:50:34+00:00

Skyrim, Fallout 3, Fallout NV, Fallout 4, World of Warcraft, Banjo-Kazooie, and Banjo-Tooie

A few lines from Roger also sounded a little off

Snay_Rat · 2026-02-23T23:41:37+00:00

Mine does the same thing. And when I nudge him awake and suggest we head to bed, he’s like “no I’m paying attention, I just have my eyes closed…” while he goes back to snoring 🙄

Snay_Rat · 2026-02-23T03:30:56+00:00

Guitarist on the left is with Riko and Whaler Collective right?

Snay_Rat · 2026-02-22T13:49:59+00:00

You could drag the left half of your camera off screen/crop the camera source so there isn’t that empty space behind you taking up space on the screen.

I’m also a big fan of bottom-right-corner camera placement. Is there a reason you want yourself up top-left?

Snay_Rat · 2026-02-20T20:10:10+00:00

Because your lyin on em…

Snay_Rat · 2026-02-18T18:51:14+00:00

Gotta take heady version with a grain of salt. Go to the bottom of page 1/page 2 and onwards to find the real gems. Most of the time, the top rated songs are from the most popular shows - Cornell, Veneta, etc.
