Warren Haynes pre Jam caught lighting in a bottle thanks to Bob Weir and Friends

  Warren Haynes pre Jam caught lighting in a bottle thanks to Bob Weir and Friends 
 

    Tonight Warren Haynes will host the 28th annual Christmas Jam at the Cellular Center. His 18th edition of the intimate pre-jam at The Orange Peel once again instantly became a classic last night. The line up is always kept secret till showtime. Asshole like myself usual report the acts and always miss the magic. Warren played acoustic and turned in a stellar set with Mule and acts such as Tom Hamilton's American Babies stunned the audience. But Bob Weir and Friends provided the WTF of the night. He was joined on stage with Holly Bowling, Tom(The Future) Hamilton, Duane Trucks and Don Was on the Bass. What took place is better watched because I was not there. I know Warren joined the band as the house sang "We Will Survive" and thanks to evenings like this we will get by. Enjoy the video 
 
Grateful Music as Neil Peek covering the sold out 28th annual Christmas Jam tonight and a stream is available though nugs.net for the price of a taxi ride. Enjoy the video footage thanks to Jambase and Holly Bowling. 
Stay tuned. For more coverage

Joe Russo's Almost Dead Release All Three Soundboards from this Weekend's Masterpiece.

Joe Russo's Almost Dead Release All Three Soundboards from this Weekend's Masterpiece. Listen Here! 



 


       There is no denying the magic that JRAD posseses. They have transcended what I thought a cover band could accomplish. I think Tom Hamilton's addition in Bobby and Billy's new band is just more validation, but to the band's growing fanbase the verdict has been in for some time. This past weekend at the Brooklyn Bowl for "Fall Ball 2"they pulled off a three night masterpiece. From John Mayer sitting in for a complete set to the near perfect 27 minute acoustic Terrapin Station Suite, this weekend had it all. Thanks to JRAD and Live For Live Music we have the soundboards from all three nights. I know what I will be listening to on my way to work this week.
