Trust me, I barely listen to jamband music as it is, and I worked for one for a couple of years . If Im listening to a jamband it needs to be something with some balls or at least somewhat original sounding. Ive seen enough of them (and over a long enough period of time) to know I dont like them.
Do you mean the change up from Monroe's Lonesome Wind Blues to Arrested Development's send-up of Everyday People is too much of a shift for your gearbox?
Well, I can appreciate that.
I was weaned on Art Rock, so if it doesn't make spastic meter, timing and feel changes, it's not music to me
(now just where did I put those Focus, PFM, Yes, ELP, and G.G. albums?)
Anyhow, it's a great show and a dang decent audience recording.
SCI was tight and right, and the Fabulous Fox wasn't sounding too bad at all.
If the mood and spirit move you, you could spend your time worse.
Of course, there is always the "Christmas with the Rat Pack" CD....
And if you haven't heard the Leonard Bernstein/ Aaron Copeland El Salon Mexico, do yourself a huge sonic favor
