bax Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 (edited) I'm a big fan of these guys. A lot of people have a false impression of them from hearing radio hits like Melissa, but they are very diverse. They play everything from blues to country-rock to jazz. They are often overshadowed by the Dead as far as psychedelic bands go, but in my opinion they are much more exciting to listen to. I'm going to see them in Atlanta tomorrow and I'm sure it will be a good show. Anyone else a fan of these guys?

adnan Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Excellent band, but I really do not like their newer stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ohdistortedsmile1789 Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 People keep asking me if I'm trying to look like Gregg Allman, it's quite annoying.I saw Warren Haynes earlier this year (this is sort of related). He can play the guitar about as well as anyone.I dig the whole philosophy and all, and I'm sure the music is great, I just haven't listened to them yet.

I honestly think he is the best electric slide player alive. His playing combines delta blues with Indian ragas and it all fits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
