The most popular reviews in /r/jambands:
I read "Skydog: The Duane Allman Story" last Spring and coincidentally drove home through Macon on my way home from Florida. I highly recommend reading that book. So many amazing moments in Duane's short life. It's great reading while having Spotify available to bring up tracks he played on while a session guy (check out the fucking JAM with Wilson Pickett and Duane on the end of this Hey Jude). The Big House (the ABB museum) in Macon is really, really well done as well. You can stop there and they give you a map to Macon that shows where everyone is buried and memorialized. Greg was just put in the ground when I was there, he's next to Duane and Berry
This is VERY true. As a dead head and someone who loves The Doors, this made me dislike Jerry a bit. There is actually proof on The Internet Archives of an interview with Jerry where he completely trashes Jim Morrison for stupid reasons. I'll link it later when I'm on my laptop.
UPDATE: Here's the interview archive https://archive.org/post/157591/why-jerry-hated-the-doors
I've been listening to The Mantras a bunch lately and personally I think they're the next Umphreys. They improvise and bend genres in a pretty similar fashion, and are the only band I've seen that can pull off an Umph cover (Hurt Bird Bath!).
Look up their 4/19-4/20 2014 shows from Columbus, OH. The SBDs are free on Archive and those are the shows that sold me on them. I'll edit with a link when I get home.
Twiddle's gaining a lot of popularity lately, and for good reason.
They're streaming tonight. Right now in fact. Went on stage like 9 minutes ago. Here's a link if you wanna check it out.
e/ There's a bunch of other stuff streaming too. You can find links over in my sub /r/StreamingNow.
We also have a lot of shows up on Archive

enjoy :)
From around 99-02 ish they were at points the best band on the planet. at other points, just another aimless druggie jamband
The RV set is quintessential Tea Leaf Green. 05-06 TLG is the best live music I have ever heard, they could do no wrong.
Another favorite is the show from San Geronimo, Zoom Zoom is nuts... https://archive.org/details/tlg2006-07-22.flac16
My all time favorite TLG show is without a doubt 10-28-2006 at the Mystic Theatre... https://archive.org/details/tlg2006-10-28.flac16
EDIT x3: Formatting - Reddit sucks
This show is one of the earliest Umphrey's Shows and has them covering Phish's "Mike's Song" and Moe.'s "Rebubula"...it's also a SBD albeit from a casette source. Really cool to see what the band sounded like at the beginning.
I use DBPowerAmp to convert my FLACS to ALAC rather than converting to MP3. ALAC is otherwise known as apple lossless so your conversion will still be lossless and it will work on Itunes and your IPod.
If you want to take this to the next level consider using IFTTT integration with a REDDIT > TWITTER recipe.

do they have a wedding set on archive.org? ... https://archive.org/details/Spafford2012-08-24 yup just did some google detective work, this is an amazing upload, and I love how deep in the groove they get...at a wedding. I always visualize the grandparents and people just like "wtf is going on right now" as they totally noodle on stage and do their thing
Can't go wrong with an Omega Moo's show. 1/3 UM + 2/3 New Deal = 80s dirty dance party.
This was my favorite Umphrey's show for a long time. Triple Wide > Led Zepp Medley is insta-sploosh.
this is probably the best hour and a half of live music I've ever seen:
https://archive.org/details/tlg2005-06-17.shnf
and is unfortunately one of the few TLG sets I've seen that I didn't personally tape.
In the world of the grateful dead, Rob Bertrando recordings from the 70s and Charlie Miller's. Charlie Miller Mix
EDIT: Here is an interview with Charlie
Though not quite as long as the ones you mentioned, I feel like Rare Earth's 1969 Get Ready deserves an honorable mention. It was the only song on side B, and at 21:30 it left no room for anything else.
Pretty sweet jam for an album.
I came here totally intending to make helpful recommendations but ohhhh noooooo all I can do is post Papadosio's set from last year's Waka ^oh ^^noooooo
https://archive.org/details/papadosio2013-06-01.akg391b.flac16
So I went down to Jazzfest last weekend for my bachelor party and had an absolute blast. That place is just magical. Top to bottom some of the best music I've seen.
Friday we saw Karl Denson, Foundations of Funk, and Santana at the Fairgrounds. Let me tell you, even in their 70s George Porter Jr. and Santana can still bring the heat. Afterwards we saw one of the best JRAD shows I've seen yet. From there we went to the M&Ms (John Medeski, Stanton Moore, Papa Mali, and Robert Mercurio) at Tipitina's which was another awesome show at a legendary venue. We finished the weekend with another JRAD show that was just as good as the night before. I've been searching for the recordings and finally was able to find a stream for them here if anyone is interested.
Man I miss New Orleans and am super jealous of anyone that's there this weekend!
We can only hope! I think my best chance thus far is that they get added to Summercamp Festival in Illinois.
Other than that, they use their mixlr account often and live steam sound board quality audio from many shows. They streamed their entire NYE run
It's called a controlled feature rollout, it's a common way of testing new features with a small subset of the users before updating the version everyone gets. This will happen for everyone if nobody speaks up against it, which is why I made this post. Hopefully if enough like minded people signal boost this, they will understand how important it is and will let it be.
And their support resources are bullshit, part of what made this so confusing is that nothing on their website pertained to the build I had.
That may be sturdy enough, but yeah that first one you posted will definitely have the wheels break so idk if this has a sturdier connection there. The ones I’ve seen there that look like they’ll always hold up are those heavy duty metal ones like these https://www.amazon.com/TEKRITE-Garden-Utility-Removable-Capacity/dp/B01M69QZLE Might be overkill for you though
The main thing that messed our wagon up was going through the gravel lot I think
Kung Fu Live at Toad's Place on 2014-12-19 is one in recent memory. First time I've listened to them. (Yeah, that 2nd set covering Steely Dan's "The Royal Scam" album got my attention.)
I have multiple. All prints in perfect condition for years

I got these and lost one in the mosh at Gizz show. I thought they were great. I kept taking them out to check the difference and quickly put them back in because so much more enjoyable. Going to order another 2 pack, I suppose. They seem a little pricey
Taper's Section is about the best one I've found for Android.
FYI, both Relisten and TS are just front-ends for the Live Music Archive (archive.org), so their catalogs should be pretty much the same.
https://www.amazon.com/Grateful-Dead-Illustrated-Robert-Hunter/dp/0789499630
this is good for a broad look at everything Dead.
I'll second archive.org. I usually just hit the random button in my app to roll the dice, though.
Found this Flat Nose Diesel Bus show with it a while ago.

Gotta say it's the G-Nome Project, I can't stop listening to this show. Onflict->Run like Hell-> Onflict, and Shakedown ->2001 are both killer!
not sure what your into but here if you need something to listen to here is Lotus on 11/30/2012 in Philly. Show was one of the better I've seen in while

At higher ground, I think October 27 in 07, the breakfast covered phishs lawn boy in its entirety, flawlessly, and I dare say better than phish .. It's on archive.org
Edit : https://archive.org/details/breakfast2007-10-27.483.flac16 There's two recordings, one is better than the other, but I'm on a phone and can't tell you if that link is the better recording or not.. It's on YouTube, too
Live Cheese streams all of their shows as long as they have the bandwidth and there isn't any paid streaming for that show. Nice free sound board streams form the sound guys.
He writes songs that sound 80 years old, plays like lightning and is one of the most put together dudes I’ve ever met. All four of them are great players and great people. Andy & Ally run the show and are some of the nicest folks I've met in the industry too. Every show is SBD streamed at http://mixlr.com/billy-streams/ for free, new album coming next month and they’ve played close to 200 shows last year and this year, they are doing things right.

That looks pretty awesome, I gotta say. It's funny to think how many times I've sat in my Coleman chair, knowing it can be improved, but never thought about how. Looks like a great design.
Yes, I think they're one of the most underrated up-and-coming acts out there.
Check out the soundboards on their Bandcamp page https://papadosio.bandcamp.com/album/2013-11-1-toads-place-new-haven-ct

Check this show I recorded last Memorial Day in Charlotte at the National Whitewater Center. The weather wasn’t the only thing hot that day! 🔥

Etymotic Research
I have tried most, including eargasm, and these were the best (and cheapest if i recall correctly)
Etymotic Research ER20XS High-Fidelity Earplugs (Concerts, Musicians, Airplanes, Motorcycles, Sensitivity and Universal Hearing Protection) - Standard, Clear Stem https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RM6Q9XW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_BY4K82NJNET0X3VW1F9F
EarPeace is what I use and cannot recommend enough EarPeace Concert Ear Plugs - Reusable High Fidelity Earplugs - Hearing Protection for Music Festivals, DJs, Musicians, Motorcycles, Raves, Work & Airplane Noise Reduction (Black Case - Standard Plugs) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076VVP6CX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_JCHQG2PQ7XYA6K3CEV74
https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07517LG4J/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_K3157NN1KNBFQ8NFCA5G?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 this is the one I bought but I see it's unavailable now. There is a version with a bigger tank for only $10 more. I think your dometic is more than likely better in every way, but for those on a tight budget I've found that this one works great. I considered the bucket and bag models but decided it would be easier to dump a waste container in vault toilets.
How about this one? 300lb capacity, “all terrain” , 5 stars for sturdiness on amazon.
I hate buying a second wagon but don’t want trouble.
MacSports XL Heavy Duty Collapsible Outdoor Folding Wagon Camping Gear Grocery Cart Portable Lightweight Utility Cart Adjustable Rolling Cart All Terrain Sports Wagon Beach Wagon with Cargo Net https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089Q4369D/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_A7RHXRF2GJGATD90N02R?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I’m not sure what the next level is up from there. I see all metal ones that do not fold which I really cannot fit in my apartment. But the reviews actually rank them lower on sturdiness. Though who knows what people are hauling in those things.
I used these on Jam Cruise a couple of weeks ago and had no complaints. They sound great and are pretty comfortable. I lost them on the last night though, that sucked.
I have an ear appointment scheduled and will be getting a ear test and custom molded etymotic plugs for ~$175. I can't wait to goto shows with them
