Jam Bands

[Kryptik]

I was wondering if any of you guys know of any good blues/rock jam bands. Something along the lines of the Lemon Song or a band like Ten Years After. Something where the band is basically jamming out for half the album.

Phil Lesh & Freinds, Govt Mule, Allman Bros, Grateful Dead, Phish, Bela Fleck & The Flecktones, Pink Floyd, Blue Floyd, Bruce Hornsby's live stuff (medleys of hot jams--- I saw Bruce last fall and the entire band was focused on his every move the entire night. He changes gears in a split-second--- from a fullout Goin' Down to Blackberry Blossam and back again or into any number of other stuff. The guy is a walking musical encyclopedia!)

Check out Government Mule, one of the few blues/rock jam bands I recomend. Deffinately well worth the time, especially their live album.

You would probably like Widespread Panic.

widespread panic, and Govt. Mule ...really like the old WSP and GM just seem to always get better

I'm a big fan of that genre, so let me make so must have suggestions:

Gov't Mule, Deepest End
The Allman Brothers, Live at the Fillmore East
Pearl Jam, Live on Two Legs
Robert Randolph and the Family Band, Live at the Wetlands
Dave Matthews Band, The Central Park Concert
Sonny Landreth, Grant Street Live

Thats about 12 hours of music, should be enough to get you started.

I forgot to mention Temple of the Dog.

They had some good blues based jams on the one album they did.

Take notes to Reach Down, 4 walled World...basically everything but Hunger Strike at some exceptional playing from Mike McCready, who is quite underrated IMHO.
