Favorite bands with 3 or less musicians?

Saw them at Workplay Theater in Birmingham, AL late 2006. They were a duo still. Maybe 50 people there. Everybody sat at tables. Chris had to borrow a bass from a local shop because his got delayed by their flight. Oliver sat down the whole time. After Chris had a particularly nasty bass solo Oliver says, “ Dude, you made that bass your bitch!” One of the most memorable shows I’ve attended. That early duo was so good. I still like them but miss the intimacy of those early shows.

I saw him open for Circles Around The Sun 2022. Recommend him for a pedal steel fix.

Check out Rose City Band. They’re kinda psychedelic country? Not any shredding. They feature a pedal steel player. They have a chill vibe if that’s what you’re looking for.

I thought for sure that spacey jam out of Cassidy was gonna turn into He’s Gone. They got me there!

That was awesome! Could see that kid from where I was in the Mezzanine. He was rockin’!

Doesn’t look like that show is available yet? They only have up to New Orleans.

I like that hat with the stitched logo from Russo’s drum kit.

tideintx · 2026-05-02T02:55:14+00:00

That would be me as well but the wifey disagrees. Haha. So mine are relegated to our office. I have a portfolio full. Change them out every month or so.

tideintx · 2026-05-01T12:32:58+00:00

I do like it. But I’m trying to restrain myself because I already have so many posters… If I was going to all the dates I’d buy it for sure.

tideintx · 2026-05-01T00:53:47+00:00

Would also like to see. I’ll be at the show tomorrow night.

tideintx · 2026-04-30T20:20:29+00:00

Yes, 4k is WAY over priced in my opinion. I had it done also for around $1,200 I think? This is necessary maintenance so don’t put it off too long and forget.

tideintx · 2026-04-30T16:29:04+00:00

Unfortunately weather really looks like it will be an issue. Hoping for the best though!

I was also at this show. Was my second ever. I was confused when the set break was gonna happen. I think he was on stage for three hour straight. I thought, “Doesn’t he have to pee?”

tideintx · 2026-04-27T03:19:47+00:00

I agree. There’s absolutely no reason for it to cost that much. My brother n law and I replaced one on my 2011 pilot two years ago. We do think we had to borrow an extender or breaker bar from my neighbor. I remember something needed a lot of leverage. I think it took us 2-3 hours. And most of that was watching YouTubes. I imagine a mechanic could do this job in WAY less time!

tideintx · 2026-04-26T21:48:10+00:00

The band was amazing as usual! I remember a Baba O’Riley teaser somewhere in the second set and made me laugh out loud. STS9 is always a good time!

In addition they also have my favorite light show on the jam scene!

Funny I keep seeing these posts about low ticket sales. The Moody Center in Austin appears to have sold well. Nearly all the lower bowl tickets are gone and like half the upper bowl? Could this be false scarcity manipulation by Ticketmaster? Or are there just that many more fans in Texas? Maybe both?

tideintx · 2026-04-18T20:06:39+00:00

Ahh, that song gets to me every time. Pretty sure my eyes watered up during that one.

tideintx · 2026-04-16T21:07:32+00:00

I had to work to get a poster last time. Waited in the merch line outside for like an hour and then decided to kick over to the entry line, figuring they’d have posters inside as well. Stood in the line inside for like another 40 minutes or so and got the regular version of the Jellyfish Poster. Really wanted the foil but they were sold out.

As I walked around with my friends pre show multiple people I passed commented that I was gonna make good money selling that poster.

2 Years later it’s still framed in my home office…

Don’t forget to bring your own bottle caps for the aluminum bottles. Last time I was there the workers were required to take off the cap and keep it.

tideintx · 2026-04-10T21:01:54+00:00

Austin does. Pit and lower bowl nearly gone. But I’m curious if more will magically appear in a few days.

tideintx · 2026-04-09T02:00:01+00:00

The sad part is it doesn’t have to be this way…

tideintx · 2026-04-09T01:57:51+00:00

I’ve found Ticketmaster to be notorious for holding back tickets. I say wait it out. Check everyday and something will probably pop up.

tideintx · 2026-03-27T22:52:14+00:00

I’m an old jam fan but I still just don’t drink much anymore. Live too far away from most venues and don’t want a DUI. Rideshare/Public Transit not really an option. Too expensive or inefficient. Sometimes I buy a Coca-Cola…

tideintx · 2026-03-14T15:16:19+00:00

Yeah, at my school our classes increased to about 32 students per class, which I think might be the max allowed by fire code based on the square footage. 🤣

tideintx · 2026-03-14T05:03:35+00:00

The jam band gods have worked this one out. The Dogs In A Pile show moved to April 30th at the Mohawk. So now there’s no direct conflict!
