When posting a photo or video of a band please provide the name of the band

Don't assume we know who that is. I want to know what band you're posting about. I'll give some leeway to video of good jams but photos that don't identify their subject will be removed as Low effort posts, with some leeway for memes.

While I have you here. How do you feel about memes? It's a small part of the subs content. Is that something you want from this sub?

Edit: Also whatch it on abbreviations I think we mostly know GD, WSP/WSMFP, BMFS, PPP, TAB, DMB, JRAD, and a few others. DIAP is pretty well known now

but if you come out with CATS, DDCC, KSC, MGU, even MGB etc it's probably better to explain yourself. (Can anyone guess all of these?) In general clarity is great. ( Credit u/faceback)

We want to know who's good in the scene. Don't make us guess.

I saw Daniel Donato open for the String Cheese Incident and Billy Strings open for Dead & Company this summer. There’s a lot of be excited about in the jam band scene right now. A lot of the older bands are still going strong and we have plenty of younger bands drawing big crowds. Looking forward to what the future brings.

Unknown Mortal Orchestra offering free admission to *analog* tapers

They're not a traditional jam band, but they are increasingly jammy. They're also one of my favorite bands. They're opening things up to analog tapers. I'm sure you could tape however you wanted, but they're actually offering free admission to analog tapers.

If you've never heard them, I highly recommend. Each album is pretty different.

Here are their upcoming shows: https://www.unknownmortalorchestra.com/home-1

Daniel Donato new album, Chore

20 Upvotes

Chore off the new album absolutely shreds I can’t wait to see it live. I know he’s been playing it for months now but I didn’t get hip to it until the new album dropped. About halfway through the song switches gears and goes straight prog rock. What song stands out to you on the new album?

Classic Show George Harrison's 1970 All Things Must Pass album had a bonus third LP called Apple Jam. It was mostly instrumental jams by Derek and the Dominos musicians including horn players Jim Price & Bobby Keys plus Gary Wright and Al Aronowitz. Here's "Out Of The Blue" from it.
