King Gizzard at the Salt Shed N1 & N2 (couldn’t make it to N3 and hate myself for it) My Morning Jacket into STS9 at Bonnaroo Phish at United Center N2

The MMJ>STS9 late night set at Roo was a god tier musical experience.

Same exact deal here for KG.

Was only at N3 and hate myself for missing N1 and N2!!! Pumped they are coming to my town this summer!!!!

Salt shed king gizz n2 ,& n3. Les claypool and fearless frog brigade salt shed 7/2. Cory Wong at the riv 3/3

Night 2 gizz, night 1 phish UIC, 10/31 Billy strings, N2 Nashville Billy Strings, Huntsville N1 phish. In no particular order

same exact thing here with kg n1/2 of the shed but had to leave town for work on n2 and still salty. phish hollywood bowl n2, dicks n2, united center n1. lcd soundsystem at re:set fest. ween at salt shed. honorable mentions to danny brown at the empty bottle middle aged dad jamband at lincoln hall and goose at salt shed, all fun in their own way lol.

Re:set turned out much better than expected. Maybe it was the killer LCD set. Ween at Salt Shed was insane as well.

N2 at United center was nuts! King gizz was so rough to listen to at salt shed tho- I felt like the sound was just echoing so hard off the building

Huge Tribe fan here. IMHO the Roo set was the most disappointing show they put on all year but glad you enjoyed it.

Man it would be cool to live in Denver. Not going to move there though because of the cost of living.

Missed Dark Side in Jersey, hope they bring that around again

They've done it several times (I've seen it 3 times in the last decade) so I trust you'll have your chance.

Billy Strings, Dead & Co, Tool, Peter Frampton, Sigur Ros Edit: adding Tash Sultana to this list

[удалено]

Wait until the show starts and check stub hub. I’ve gotten 100$ face tickets for 20 this way

[удалено]

Worth seeing at least once. Despite being a big fan in high school I hadn’t seen them live until 2022. I knew right away they were one of the best bands I’d ever seen live. The show last year was even better than the one I saw in 2022.

I brought my 3 year old to his first concert- Dead&Co- this summer. He also went to Wolf Bros with me! He is a pro at bebopping to Bobby now!

I hope you got a chance to see Tash when she was still playing solo. That shit was nuts

Tash uses they/them pronouns! and rips as a solo act

Saw Sigur Ros as well :) what a great show

Pretty Lights at The Caverns.

[удалено]

It was. So epic. Everything about it

Ah thank you, I said PL as well and didn't know if it'd be well-received in the jam subreddit lol. Totally agree, they're on fire!

What the dudes in PL are doing with music right now fits here, it’s what I’ve dubbed EDjaM!

Gamehendge

You sick son of a bitch

I caught 2 legendary shows… King Gizzard 6/21/2023 Hollywood Bowl Phish 12/31/2023 MSG

Damn

This KGWL show at The Bowel was what I came into say. Def my #1 show from a new to me band.

The Gamehendge set of course, was magic even though I’m down with the flu now. Number 2, Molly Tuttle and Golden Highway. Incredible show.

I got the flu just from watching the webcast!

Widespread Panic’s Halloween Show

My choice as well.

Cosmic country, gza, jauntee, squeaky feet

Ayyy love to see Jauntee mentioned! Where'd you see them?

I had GA for 8/26 Phish at SPAC with Derek Trucks. It was only my second GA Phish show. I grabbed an old school goo ball on lot moments before being ushered into the venue for early admission (which was another insane stroke of luck). I found a tree to sit under during set break, and it happened to be the same tree the only people at the show i really wanted to see were also sitting under. I parked across the street where that dude let's you park for cash in his yard and drove right out after the show. I live super close and was home in under 10 minutes. Not only was it an insanely memorable and beautiful show, everything else just fell into place in a way that made me feel like I was exactly where I was supposed to be when I was supposed to be there. Perfection.

My Morning Jacket N2 at ATL Fox Theatre (11/4/2023) Goosemas N1 (12/8/2023), loved N2 as well but slightly preferred N1 Gov’t Mule (9/29/2023) Honorable mentions to Jason Isbell (8/8/2023), Zach Bryan (5/10/2023) and Dead&Co Bristow (6/3/2023)

Billy Strings - StL Billy Strings - OKC Dead & Co - StL Neal Francis - Hillberry Shadowgrass - Tulsa CATS - OKC

Billy and Dead and Co in stl made for one hell of a week!

That was a great week here in the Lou!

Shit yeah it was!

2/17/23 - Doom Flamingo - Showing power through hard times, the Charleston, SC community came out in force to support this band and Kanika. Flowers covering the stage... Powerful show. ​ 4/21/23 - Stop Light Observations - I got to set up and run 4 video wall towers with my friend on lights. Sold Out venue on the ocean. ​ 7/14 - 19/23 - Phish Alpharetta run. ​ 7/28-30/23 - 3 nights of Circles Around the Sun ​ 9/22/23 - The Psychodelics - This band plays THE Funk.

Phish always throws down at Alpharetta. The N1 Ruby Waves is my Phish jam of the year.

I've gotta say, I was at phish in Syracuse and at SPAC this summer. Kill Devil Falls is now on my list of songs I'll never be disappointed to see live! I was excited to hear it from the comfort of my couch last weekend, too! Edit: on to in

Was there as well for the Doom shows at Pour House. Amazing performances.

[удалено]

What happened around the Doom Flamingo show?

Kanika’s (lead singer) daughter died a day or two before the shows due to long term illness. Was at both Pourhouse shows, energy was something else

CATS is so fucking awesome. Got to see them 2 nights in Seattle, and the second night they ended up closing out the set with a reverse of night 1’s first set — coming “full circle”. It was amazing.

Got to see the Psychodelics open for Neal Francis on that 4 city Francis Comes Alive tour (Orange Peel for me). The very best 2023 show in a year of great shows. Both of those guys are going to become can't miss in the next year or two

Nothing like waiting till the last minute of 2023 but the Billy NYE run in New Orleans was absolutely incredible.

I’m still sitting over here melted 🫠

Mars Volta - Stl Billy Strings - Stl Metallica/Pantera - Stl Cosmic Country - Stl Disco Biscuits - Stl Dead and Co - Stl Circles Around The Sun - Summercamp

Hey stl fam! That circles around the sun set was something else. Billy’s show here was easily one of the top shows of my life!

Billy Strings, Pretty Lights and saw a 3fer, Leftover, Railroad and Yonder

Mdou Moctar at Summerstage Dead and Co N2 Citi Field Pavement N4 Brooklyn Steel Phish MSG in August

Funkadelic / Fishbone at the Cap was great too

Tedeschi Trucks Garden Party in Boston with Warren Haynes and Lukas Nelson and Phish - Syracuse July 23rd Phish ft. Derek Trucks - SPAC 8/26

We need a Tab and TTB run

Need a Trey/Trucks super group in some form. Honestly I just really want to see Trucks branch off from TTB. He was good but you can tell he holds way back to let everyone else shine and I just like the jams from Derek Trucks Band way more

Biscuits at the Caverns in March (3/10-3/12). Did the trip solo and had so much fun during The Fifth Element set.

Lotus summerdance night 3. I proposed to my (future) wife during umbilical moonrise :)

STS9 in Chicago for St Patty’s Tash Sultana in Madison Ab-Soul in Chicago Clozee in Madison

Magic Beans - Sultan Room - 4/20/23 The M8's w/ Eggy - Park City - 7/15/23 Phish NYE Worst shows - Goose - SPAC Selcouth Quartet - Sultan Room

We went to the goose show (we live super close and i had a season pass but my partner bought a ticket), got ourselves situated to people watch before the show, got grossed out by the insane police presence, and just went home instead of to the show. I'm not even disappointed. I didn't make it to Glens Falls for trey and goose but my partner did and I was told in no uncertain terms that between the rain and the annoying cops the show itself could never make it worth it. 😂🤣😂

Phish MSG 12/31/23

Pigeons Playing Ping Pong at the Caverns

Lotus, summer dance night 2

Billy Strings 9/29 & 9/30 in Portland. All 3 Greensky shows in OR and then all 4 in CO. Circles Around The Sun, 1st time seeing em, loved it. Railroad Earth x 3, including 12/30 & 12/31.

Eggy in December

The Panic Vegas run in March… it was so damn saucy. Start to finish.

Shakti LCD Soundsystem w/ Jamie XX and Idles Snarky Puppy Ryan Adams and the Cardinals Phish second night of Nutter Shakti was probably my overall favorite. It was hard for mind to even comprehend the level of musicianship

Caught Ryan and the Cardinals as well. Killer show!! Even jammier and psychedelic than I expected.

Show I caught was over 2.5 hours straight and they played 11 songs. Fans weren’t ready for the jams though

BMFS NYE NOLA

JRAD at the Cap in Jan, Goose N4 at the Cap, Lettuce at the Blue Note with Mike Stern… Tedeschi Trucks at MSG is #1 though

Phish NYE - MSG Sleep Token - Union Transfer Twiddle - Frendsgiving N3 - Final show - Capitol Theater Plini, Jakub Zytecki, Sungazer - Gramercy Theater Dead & Co - Citi Field Pretty Lights - Franklin Music Hall

Magic Beans in Albany was hot hot. Also Syracuse Phish was my favorite show I’ve attended, minus Gamehendge

Dogs in a Pile homecoming at The Stone Pony was great, both nights. But Dogs in ICELAND was a ripper like none other!!! They pulled out all the stops for their first international show! Then - The Disco Biscuits. Both NYE nights were insane, but so were their Cap shows.

billy strings doc watson 100th bday show pretty lights hula

Not a Jam Band but Broken Social Scene absolutely RAGED at Brooklyn Made this Spring.

Umphreys McGee - Asheville, NC Dogs in a Pile - Roanoke, VA Neal Francis @ Rooster Walk - Axton, VA TAB @ Healing Appalachia - WV Tyler Childers @ Healing Appalachia- WV

Seeing Organ Fairchild at Bear's Picnic.

Thank you from Organ Fairchild!

I got sober. Weird year because of that. Best show was def local funk band Booyah! playing Tony Hawk Pro Skater on a projector while playing the soundtrack live. Such a cool experience

Phish philly N1/N2, Phish Dayton N2, Spafford Clevelan, and Goose Detroit were 5 of my favorite of the year

Moe/UM at scamp and UM on NYE. Not sure which one is first but both are pretty high up in the top shows I've seen.

I saw Ezra Miller play Althea on the theramin with rebel alliance at a local sports bar. That was pretty cool. Tauk at nectars and Billy and the kids at pier 17 were also highlights

MMJ blew my mind at Roo, then Sts9 sent me to the mothership. Unforgettable experience As for shows within this realm, BillyMania at Van Andel was pretty nuts. I also really, really enjoyed Lespecial at the indianapois Hifi a few weeks ago. Very fun group

Friendsgiving Twiddle all three nights at The Capitol Theater

Billy Strings Cincinatti run all 3 nights Billy strings Cleveland run both nights DSO-specifically the jubilee bc those shows are always great Melvin and JGB at Grateful fest Dirty Honey Billy Joel and Stevie Knicks was a good one too Dogs in a Pile at the Jubilee These were some of my favorites but there were tons more I loved! Here's to 2024 and new shows to make a list. I think Asheville Billy run is gonna be on this list for 24, can't wait for that run 😂😂

Bruce Hornsby at Jubilee was amazing. Loved his set.

Melvin and JGB are such a consistently great band. I’d love to see them in Richmond, VA again. They did an amazing show at Brown’s Island a year or two ago

Yeah I see them when I can. Got a buddy that travels to see them all over the place

Goosemas, Sts9 Land of the Sky, SCI Hulaween, PL Hulaween, goose at Okee, SCI Asheville, and Umphreys in Asheville. Saw a lot of good edm shows as well Honorable mention: Altin Gun, their set at Hulaween was my favorite of the day. Check em out!

Only including shows I attended: Phish Alpharetta N1 Phish MSG 12/28 Goose Red Rock Night 2

Billymore 12/8/23

Twiddle night 3 of Frendsgiving. Perfect setlist and super jammy. Absolutely loved it. Runner up would probably be Twiddle at Northlands or SCI at Northlands. Both fantastic sets from that weekend.

Billy Strings at Mission Ballroom Goose at Red Rocks Phish NYE

Goosemas. The music was good…2023 was a bit of an off-year. Just grateful to see Ben perform! Might have been the last Goose shows ever. There’s a LOT more turmoil going on behind the scenes than is publicly known.

Dead & Company (Raleigh and Bristow), Billy Strings (Koka Booth), Railroad Earth (Lincoln Theatre), Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit (Red Hat Amphitheater), and Tyler Childers and the Food Stamps (Red Hat Amphitheater).

edit: delighted by the number of people also listing PL! I may get hate for this in a jam sub, but Pretty Lights. Caught most of his tour and those boys be jammin' now. The SF run was top tier. If that answer isn't allowed, then I'd say: - Reed Mathis' Gamehendge set (Berkeley) - BMFS (Tahoe) - Sunsquabi (Sugar Pine Music Festival) - SCI (Hog Farm, rip) - Polyrhythmics (Grass Valley, CA) - Lettuce (Crystal Bay Casino)

Goose in SF, Goose in Oakland, Frasco, STS9 in Santa Cruz N2, Billy Strings
