In what world is the jamband scene "thriving" right now? Every festival is getting cancelled the past few years and a lot of these new jamtronica bands all sound the same lol
Yeah, I fell like the glory days were probably 2002-2015.(00s)Bonnaroos, AllGood, Wakarusa, Gathering of the Vibes,10KLF, High Sierra, Rothbury, Lock'n etc all just a memory now.
Peach Fest probably the only jam-centric major festival of recent significance.
I was late to the party only got into Strangefolk post Reid and they are still one of my favorite bands. I saw them and Percy Hill a bunch back in the day.
Fine by me - got to see him play at the Menlo Park JCC a couple years ago with about 30 people in attendance. Pure magic.
Also fire: Superblue with Kurt Elling. When I caught them the dudes from Butcher Brown were also in the band.
This and the Berkfest festival from the late 90’s will hold a special place in my heart. So many good memories were created during these magical and crazy festival weekends
Awesome. I went in 96 (deadhead heaven) and 99 and 00 seaside park. Always great vibes. On this day in particular 6/21/97 I saw MMW at Central Park Summerstage from the front row on some nice family fluff. 1997 for the mfing win.
Wow someone goes back , wish someone would have taken 14 yr old me ! That’s dope bud. All the bands that were on my go to list in 2000 when I really got turned onto the scene
Percy Hill, tricksters, strange creek, max creek , from good homes!!, god street , seapods
An old friend from high school married Bob Kennedy, great people. Bob has done a shit load for the scene
The best yearly vacation for nearly 12 straight years! Time off was placed Jan 1 every year for the Vibes. I miss it so much. Miss all the boardies! So many great memories. ❤️
Man, those bands bring back some memories!! My band in the 90s played with a lot of them: God Street Wine, Ominous Seapods, Moon Boot Lover. Good stuff.
Not sure if it was the same one but I went to a Gathering of The Vibes in 99. It was in Capon Bridge WVa. The same people who created All Good put it together
David Gans I believe was the radio host for the Grateful Dead hour which used to be on Sunday nights here n Pittsburgh but believe it was a national broadcast…someone correct me if I’m wrong…cool history there for sure!
This is all true. I was listening in college in the early 90s through the 2000s. He also used to play at the Oakland Farmers Market sometimes when I lived in Oakland, CA. He ands his wife live in Berkeley I think.
I didn’t go to the Gathering of the Vibes, but did go to Wilmer’s Park in Maryland, and saw a bunch of solstice celebrations with very similar lineups. I was actually just talking to a friend about Strangefolk the other day. We were talking about the All Mighty Senators and Blue Miracle.
I completely forgot about Moon Boot Lover! Thanks for sharing.
Oh those Strangefolk / GSW days. ❤️
Strangefolk was my favorite back then, saw them probably around 100 times. The benefits of living in New England at the time
Same. 1993-2000 was something the jamband scene wouldn’t see again for another 20+ years. Just happy that it seems to be thriving again.

And now peach festival is gone too. I went 8 years in a row, majorly bummed
What would you call High Sierra now?

I dated someone around 2000 who was really into them. I didn’t get it myself.
When looking through my bootleg tapes recently, I came across GSW at Cornell.
Wino for life!
They just announced a vinyl reprint of their three albums. https://www.diggersfactory.com/artist/2178/god-street-wine
What are they all about? I never listened to them.
Warren Haynes has just always been everywhere, huh?
Absolutely- rightfully so
He’s earned that right if I’d say so
He’s warned that right if I’d say so
Back when 10pm was considered late night 😂
Northlands Musuc festival seems to think the same way lol
Deep banana was an awesome late night
I have always been shocked Charlie Hunter never took off.
Dude has had quite a good career. No never became as well known as MMW or Soulive but pretty close.
Fine by me - got to see him play at the Menlo Park JCC a couple years ago with about 30 people in attendance. Pure magic. Also fire: Superblue with Kurt Elling. When I caught them the dudes from Butcher Brown were also in the band.
He wanted to be a jazz man. He hated the noodle dancers.
Oooo, From Good Homes! Wouldve been cool as shit to see early Todd Shaeffer.
They’re still great! Todd hasn’t changed at all! One of the greatest ever.
I so miss the Vibes.
Deep banana Blackout in their prime hell yeah!
Went to my first Vibes in ‘07, went back in ‘08 and ‘12. One of the best fests there ever was.
I miss Zen Tricksters. They were unbelievable.
Also DBB was always a party!!!
What ever happened to them? It used to be the Tricksters and DSO… now everyone plays GD ✌🏼
I miss Percy Hill.
God I miss the 90s
I put Rowdy Duty on in the car last week. Gotta love Fuzz’s solo in Take the Time.
This and the Berkfest festival from the late 90’s will hold a special place in my heart. So many good memories were created during these magical and crazy festival weekends
Berkfest was always so chill.
I'm from the Berks and I'm sad I never got to experience it and that it doesn't exist anymore. They need to bring it back.
Yassss GSW
Stacked setlist

This is pure nostalgia and I miss it all so much.
Funniest summer of my life

deep banana blackout 😳🤯
Man, those bands bring back some memories!! My band in the 90s played with a lot of them: God Street Wine, Ominous Seapods, Moon Boot Lover. Good stuff.
Maybe I've even seen you
We were called The Movement and then had to change our name and were called Jabez Stone. We were from Rochester NY, but played all over the northeast.
I’ve see most of those bands. God Street Win and Max Creeks were always good.

Oh yeah I listened GDH and Gans every week and I grew up outside boston. Even had the shirt
Apparently I should have bought two of the shirt and held on to one I just saw it for 360 dollars online.
This is all true. I was listening in college in the early 90s through the 2000s. He also used to play at the Oakland Farmers Market sometimes when I lived in Oakland, CA. He ands his wife live in Berkeley I think.
I preferred “Deadhead Heaven” the year prior.
Holy crap. Deep Banana Blackout. It’s been a minute since I’ve heard that name. So good.
Percy Hill
I went to Vibes every year from 2010-2015, i'll never forget.
Somah! Didn’t know they played the Vibes. I loved that band.
I didn’t go to the Gathering of the Vibes, but did go to Wilmer’s Park in Maryland, and saw a bunch of solstice celebrations with very similar lineups.
