Greensky Bluegrass

[Undermind]

I figured this was a good way to start a Greensky thread on here, and also wish I could go!!!!

While I enjoy bluegrass, I did not enjoy the Phish Vegas After Party at the Bowl this past fall. I should probably give them another chance, but I found their sound quite abrasive. Needed some low tones.

try this one out...Also, I personally have a tough time adjusting to any music other then Phish after a Phish show.

listening to a show now that I d/l from bt last night.
The recording is mediocre, but the music is pretty good.

If you like these guys check out the Infamous Stringdusters and Cabinet, if you haven' already

This is just me but I've grown so tired of the hype that comes whenever a "jam" group does GD covers. It's almost just gimmicky at this point. Doesn't help that I don't particularly care for these guys either. Ever since Yonder disbanded I've been trying to find my new favorite jamgrass group and these guys just didn't do it for me when I saw them live.

They played Eyes when I saw them in September and killed it imo.
I loved the stripped down version and they jammed it out for awhile.

Psyched to see these guys tonight and Saturday. 3 night run in Portland. Best in their genre right now and it's not close IMO. Yonder is still the bigger name but GSBG is taking over.

[Caravan2001]

I  might go.  My friend is their manager, so it would be nice to see him, but I'll probably bail in the end lol.

completely agree.... I saw the Stringdusters for the first time last Sunday, and while I enjoyed them alot I came away wanting to see Greensky LOL.   They bring the jams.  I feel bad for EdBanky...

Me too.

Grateful Dead is the core canon for bands that jam. It is important when those bands touch on that material. It's not as if they are booking tours based on it like some other groups. And honestly, even if they were, big fucking deal. Truth is, most groups don't have the chops to write material half as good as that stuff. A good song is more than just some hot picking.

I'm with EdBanky, it's almost as if people are getting to the point where they don't know how to throw down and party unless there is a GD soundtrack. 

The GD50 this summer was cool, but stop humping the carcass already.

I really don't think Greensky should be dissed for playing one set of GD out of like 150 shows this year.  This was to reward fans that showed up for an undersold Wednesday show.  Also I think they should get some credit for taking the huge diss they got earlier this year in stride, when they were prepared to play Eyes of the World to the biggest audience of their career and shitty bands like bisco got to play 2 songs.

Yeah I don't really know shit about Greensky, I was more talking about how I think there is a general trend of more and more GD tribute acts out there.  Personally I'd like to see more original music rather than yet another rehash, but it seems that this is what people want.
