If absence makes the heart grow fonder, I was about ready to send an entire rose garden to the four members of Phish out of affection and love for the music they’ve made, the feelings they’ve given me throughout the years and the unforgettable memories of shows past. But, alas, it had been nearly five [...]

Wanee Music Festival 2009 Recap, Review and Torrents
Wanee Festival 2009 finally came and then went too fast as always. It was a great weekend that was completely filled with the joy of music and some great bands really put on memorable shows. For the most part the event went on without mother nature infringing too much like in 2007. The rain was [...]
Buddy Guy Wants To Wanee
After joining the Allman Brothers Band during their legendary 15-night residency at the Beacon Theatre, blues guitar master and global icon Buddy Guy has been added to the already-stacked Wanee Festival lineup. Along with his own set (hopefully on the Mushroom stage!), you can bet your bottom dollar that Guy will make an appearance (or [...]
Gainesville Jazz Festival @ Savannah Grande Review
A lot of people have been reading this post about the Gainesville Jazz Festival put on by the Gainesville Friends of Jazz so I am guessing it has good interest in town. I think someone who appreciates good music can’t help but enjoy two nights of jazz in Gainesville. This was my first event and [...]

You would think that after seeing SO much amazing live music here, I’d get spoiled with it, take it for granted, and eventually lose interest.

Wanna Wanee?
I’m hesitant to write this review for fear of exposing our gem of a secret. At least, that’s what the little devil on my right shoulder is telling me. Then that pesky angel appears on my left shoulder to remind me that this is precisely what music is all about. After all, everyone deserves music…

Audience Recordings of Phish 3/6/09 Hampton Reunion Show
Now you might ask, why you would want an audience taper recording vs. the soundboard mp3s that you can download for free (ending soon)? The simple reason is with the soundboard recording you miss out on how amazingly loud and accurate the audience was. In this version, you can hear what it was like to [...]
Hampton – March 8, 2009 Setlist
Set One
Sanity – This was great! Trey singing “I lost my mind just a couple of times,” followed by him staring at the crowd and saying “Yes I did!” You can’t beat that honesty. A great song to start a great night.
Wilson
