This was my third show, and it was a great/beautiful night. I saw it with my buddies Freedom and Jordan, in a sense (via texting between sets), Ellie, and, in spirit, Harry. We’d gotten there early, and of course, the boys were a bit late. So, expectations (Mine. This was Freedom and Jordan’s...

Second show for me, and it was quite the treat. It was a beautiful night in Cinci (with the exception of some rain) and it fit the show perfectly. Song by song breakdown: Set I: AC/DC Bag: Typical opener, full of high energy though. Punch: I was surprised to see this one as the second song....

Dear Trey Mike Page and Fish Some very special things happened last night; we know that. I think some of the younger members of our scene felt it but didn't completely get it. I'm writing this for them too. You know we like to predict what you are going to play. I was a freakin' prophet...

"Fee: ... After the final chorus, I saw Trey mouth something to Mike, and they started playing this pretty and ethereal melody. I was stunned. Combined with the sunset, I'm pretty sure that this was one of the prettiest moments I've ever witnessed." No question about it: this jam is one of the...

Why does every review given have thumbs down at the end? It's literally every review from every show. Why ruin someones fun they had by basically telling them their review was bad? It was THEIR review.. not yours. Write your own if you want to thumbs down the setlist/show.

TWIST JAM timings from LP Starts up out of the haze, with some nice Rhodes action by Page. Composed section is pretty standard, fairly tight but nothing of note. 2:34 solo break, Trey is laid back in the groove here giving space to Mike and Page 3:20 some nice staccato runs by Trey,...

I thought this was a special night. The crowd was having fun, loving what was given. A great ride for sure. Sun set prior to second set and the energy kept taking off from there. Having Fishman start so many tunes in a row and the easy joking between the band showed that they are already...

What a show to end the 3 day run with. I was really pumped for this show, other than it being at Riverbend, which is not one of my favorite venue's at all. I did like the fact that it's only a hour drive for me though. Started off with a good AC DC Bag, and it just got better and better from...

The first set is pretty flub heavy, some of them humorous and fun (lyric flubs in Wolfman's and Jim, false starts on Poor Heart and Moma), some of them just sloppy (Peaches, Wilson). The Wolfman's jam makes for a solid start to the show, though, with a funky Manteca-ish breakdown and some nice...

The second set of this show saved our three-day run. My wife and I were the old hippies involved in the four-car crash on I-275 just south of the venue that held up traffic for everyone coming in that way. After four hours of hell getting our destroyed rental replaced, we made to the venue to...

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

2012-06-22 • Twist (14:13) Set 2 Noteworthy
At 6:15, the jam breaks from "Twist," taking on a haunting, spectral tone that grows increasingly powerful. The jam settles briefly, then gains energy and gets more upbeat, launching into a "Heaven On Their Minds" jam (from Jesus Christ Superstar), before winding down and > to "Halley's Comet."
2000-09-20 • It's Ice (14:32) Set 2 Noteworthy
Extended jam that is markedly different from the typical Page-led jam. A spacey, rambling jam, but worth a listen. Unfinished.
2000-09-20 • Gotta Jibboo (11:19) Set 1 Noteworthy
Pure, unadulterated, straight-on HOSE!!! This one is for fans of the standard "Gotta Jibboo" vamp-based jamming, that just continues to peak with swirling intensity.
Includes an eerie outro full of creepy effects that sounds like it was taken right out of the IT festival and transitions (>) to an equally menacing "Twist."
2011-06-05 • Fee (7:18) Set 1
A serene outro, similar to 7/29/03. > into "Backwards Down the Number Line."
Extended release, almost a groove-based hose jam emerges from the post-funk section. Good '00 sounds near the end.
