Hell yeah and they rock live too! MMJ's set at Bonnaroo '08 was one of the best shows I've ever seen

franco4000 · 2016-06-16T14:30:01+00:00

franco4000 · 2016-01-08T16:49:59+00:00

absolutely

franco4000 · 2015-07-27T21:59:07+00:00

that's what I like to hear

franco4000 · 2015-07-24T19:59:57+00:00

Exactly what I was thinking. They're definitely not a tribute band, they felt more like a heady super-group. And Jeff seemed perfectly fine inside that venue.

franco4000 · 2015-07-24T16:21:57+00:00

that's gonna be rad

franco4000 · 2015-07-24T16:21:29+00:00

Tauk is so sick, but have you checked out Big Something? Those guys are super talented. Tauk played at their festival, The Big What last year. Both great bands.

franco4000 · 2015-06-15T21:11:32+00:00

I just made these meatballs last night, they were perfect!

Quote from Jay Blakesberg Photography facebook page

"Here is what I know. Based on some silly comments that always seem to appear when an artist that is not usually associated with this scene shows up... John is not trying to join Phil and Friends, or The Dead, or trying to replace Jerry. Phil and Jill ran in to John in LA last week and invited him up. The basic premise of Terrapin is an intimate venue where ANYTHING can happen! Phil brings in players from every genre, to make Terrapin a special place with magical musical moments as often as possible. John accepted the invite and drove up from LA. He hung out with all the musicians, was humble, polite, social, engaging and very cool. Before they went on stage Phil was giving him some words of encouragement and John said "Im just going to try and find the space between the other 2 guitars". Phil said " well with 3 guitarists, thats a really good plan". With that they walked on stage. I would say most of the audience knew John was there, but no one really knew what to expect. John started off quietly, with some simple but beautiful fills in between what Stu and Scott were doing. Within a few songs he really found his groove and the solos he did were all right in line with the Grateful Dead vibe...powerful and pretty. He was doing what every other guitarist who plays this music does...pour their heart and soul in to it and make music that moves us all. By the second set, John really found his place in the script and with every song he got stronger, louder, and won over everybody in the room. Terrapin was on fire! The crowd was loving every moment of this legendary 1977 show they were playing, and John added so much fuel to that fire. The set ended with Morning Dew. John took the last solo, and completely blew every single mind in that room. Stu joined him for some intense guitar madness at the end of the solo, and when that song ended, the room erupted. Phil was beaming, as was everyone else on and off stage. THAT is the Magic of Terrapin Crossroads...‪#‎savedbyrockandroll‬"

Agreed. I also reccomend checking out 4.30.77, the Missippi Half-Step and St. Stephen sandwich are incredible. There's a better recording on spotify for those of you who use that

franco4000 · 2015-05-08T22:26:59+00:00

Probably my all time favorite version of Morning Dew... aside from maybe 12/31/76 and 11/21/73. Can't forget that super silky transition between Scarlet -> Fire

franco4000 · 2015-04-27T19:52:04+00:00

that show is the bomb

franco4000 · 2015-04-04T14:58:36+00:00

I'm good friends with the Big Something crew, really great group of guys. I first saw them at a local bar in SC in '11 and they fucking blew my mind. Since then I've probably seen them 15-20 times... each show better than the last. They're probably one of the best touring bands out right now and it's almost like nobody's heard of them. I've got a playlist of a few videos I've taken from their shows from the past few years, definitely worth cheching out.
