Just noticed this thread. Have not read the 166 pages of content... but my thumbnail sketch story goes as so..

Got into Phish in the mid 90s... shows and festival scene soon followed. Saw Ratdog, Phil and JGB/Melvin, DSO and Dead related projects a bunch and came to love all that music.

My favorite jam band since 2001 or so has been Psychedelic Breakfast aka The Breakfast and I have seen something like 120 of their shows. Many of my friends come from these tours and experiences. Breakfast is hard hitting.. Tim Palmieri is a monster/genius on guitar and the other musicians are his equal. There's not much point in going on about it because they don't play many shows anymore and it was what it was and maybe will be again part-time.

Where I live in Northampton has a great music scene fortunately as I'm getting too haggard to tour anymore and I'd rather ski in the winter and only go to occasional festival in the summer.

Always a treat hearing GD or Phish playing at chair lift shacks

Love Tim Palmieri. One of my favorite guitarists and just a super down to earth guy. I've seen The Breakfast plenty myself and wish they still played as often as they used to, but for whatever reason they never were able to break through in terms of popularity like say a band like moe. You somewhat need to make it to moe.'s level of popularity to be a sustainable touring act for the long run.

At least Kung Fu plays fairly often, so I can grab my Palmieri fix a couple of times a year.

As for the Sweetwater shows, IMO those have been the best Furthur shows to date period. Straight up Fire! I really hope they shows are released on DVD. I was completely floored.

wish you guys could have seen the dead long ago, you obviously would have appreciated them. 73 at Roosevelt Stadium when they still had the wall of sound, 77 in Englishtown as nuts, and Radio City in 80 acoustic an electric was special. Ahh the good old days...Damn this makes me old!

I used to work at McIntosh Labs, I had my hands on the wall of sound! Well, probably not, it was before my time. I heard the Dead used to land their helicopter at the plant when visiting, cool.

I'm happy to be old enough to have gotten on the bus in 89. While I know in the grand scheme of GD history, I missed the boat; I certainly caught a lifetime of memories during those 6 yeas I got to see Garcia play.

I'm sure I know how it feels though to have been around during the peak years of the GD. I caught about 60 Phish shows during their peak in the mid-90s. Saw the last Gamehenge, the Halloween White Album, numerous historic shows. I've got some younger friends who are Phish fans and missed out on those years, who sometimes express to me a bit of jealousy regarding the classic shows I saw "back in the day". I remind them that you never know when it will end and even today I still get the same butterflies and excitement of anticipation when Big Red walks on stage and plugs in. So, enjoy the now.

I've got some vintage 50 yo Mac tube stuff down in my basement. My parents bought it new in '62! Amazing stuff...still sounds great and warm nothing like tubes!

My first show was in '82. I ended up getting in about 70 odd shows...kind of stopped counting at 55. Oh, I also saw at least a half dozen JGB shows. My brother saw like 7 of the 10 Radio City shows. I never really caught the Phish Kool-aid ....Don't get me wrong, I like them and I've seen them a bunch of times over the years but never really got me like the GD. Saw Phish at Skidmore College Gym back in the day....that was fun!!

That's awesome figured I'd be the only fan around here (or in most places).. I've seen Kung Fu a couple dozen times mostly when they started playing but there's not enough variation in the shows to keep my interest. Saw Tim play at Bishops in Northampton last week with Alan Evans and Beau Sasser. I enjoy his Zappa tribute band "Z3" with Beau and Bill Carbone too. they're playing at Iron Horse in a week or so.

Probably heading up to Magic Mt on February 2nd as Kung Fu is playing the tavern up there that evening. Should be a fun day all around.

Breakfast will play shows again just probably never constantly touring. RAQ is getting back together so while Stoops is doing that I think Tim Adr and Dangle are going to get up with Jordan and play some Breakfast.

FYI: Ryan Montebleau is playing Stowe on February 23rd. There are still some tix left.
