Joe Russo’s Almost Dead (JRAD) isn’t your typical Grateful Dead cover band. The setlists might appear similar, but the music is interpreted with a renewed, high-energy take on the beloved catalogue. The songs have a familiar feel, but the expression is something far beyond the norm. The supergroup of musicians made up of Joe Russo […]

There was magic in the air of San Francisco over the last three days, with a high concentration centered in Golden Gate Park. Sixty years ago, a band beyond description was born that would forever alter the course of music history, in no particular way but their own. Celebrating 60 years of the Grateful Dead, […]

Anticipation was shattered the second song of set two last night. The highly hoped for notes of “Tweezer” were not simply teased as they were during the first set “Gumbo” but sent in a rather wild manner, catapulting the sold-out Bill Graham Civic Center into a frenzy that only “Tweezer” can bring. But that was […]

King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard returned to Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado on September 8th, the night before they would play two shows on Monday, September 9th at Red Rocks. On the backend of the first leg of a blistering U.S. tour, Gizz has been leaving its mark on each tour stop. At […]

Phish wasted no time last night (August 1st) at Madison Square Garden (MSG), stepping to the venerable stage for the 76th time and launching into a fiery “Ghost” that set the tone for a memorable Tuesday show in New York City. Continuing their seven-show MSG residency to cap Summer tour 2023, “Ghost” foreshadowed the night’s […]

There’s something to be said about going out on top. Of course, it’s natural to wonder why stop now, what really happened, how did we get to the final show? Regardless, after last night’s finale for Dead & Company the band reached a pinnacle. Playing as a cohesive unit throughout the night, the arc of […]

If you happened to be lucky enough to be in attendance for Monday’s show on 4/17/23, there is no explanation for why the Greek in Berkeley is so special, to so many is needed. What a night. After a singular historic show back in 1993, and a surprise run of three in 2010, this current […]

Bob Weir recently celebrated his 75th birthday, but there’s no sign of the legendary musician slowing down his long strange trip of sharing live music with the world. Bobby wasted little time upon taking the stage Wednesday, October 19th at the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno, NV

Some shows have IT. Hanging out near section 104 last night (4/21/22), preshow, watching original Phish artist Jim Pollock sign various pieces of his work, raising money for the Waterwheel Foundation (Insert link), one couldn’t help but feel the vibes were tuned up for a special night. As it goes, when you walk into the […]

Night after night, throughout the whole of Fall tour 21’, Phish has been on fire. If you chat with anyone who’s attended shows or been listening in on streams, they will most certainly agree. Reaching yet another new high watermark, the band that has been playing live music together for over 30 years has longtime […]

“And we’re glad, glad, glad, that you’re alive.” If you were fortunate enough to make it to Shoreline Amphitheater last night in Mountain View, CA you were more than glad to be alive. But seriously, what a lyrical choice by guitarist Trey Anastasio to kick off the show, a show that wasn’t meant to be. […]

What a feeling to be back at the Gorge! The Gorge is one of the most beautiful, special music venues in the country, and for Phish and their fans, it’s nothing short of hallowed ground. Simply put, it’s a must-visit. Last night (August 27th) kicked off the first of three shows with a heartfelt nod […]

It has been far too long since my last share/review for Glide. As we continue to weather the many storms currently happening across the globe, and morn the live music experience we all miss so much, I have another issue to share with you. But that issue is supported with a beautiful collection of songs […]

After a month-and-a-half break from touring, Phish returned to Dick’s Sporting Good Park in Commerce City, CO this past weekend for their annual three night run. It was the band’s ninth visit to what’s become a beloved 3.0 tradition to close out the summer in style. With no shortage of Prairie Dogs and Plague references […]

Let’s just call it like it is. Phish’s doubleheader at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CT have been the two most anticipated shows since the band’s Summer 2019 tour dates were announced. And it makes sense. A random New England locale, with an indoor venue holding less than 10k people, in the middle of a […]

The long strange trip continued this past weekend as Dead & Company kicked off their Summer 2019 tour at the venerable Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, CA. This venue was quite literally built for the Grateful Dead, and the excitement was palpable throughout the weekend as evidenced by the gigantic, vibrant Shakedown lot scene. People […]

“This is the place, where everybody finds out, who they are. This is the year, where everybody finds out, who they are.” The words cut deeply into the first few hours of 2019. Singer/songwriter Jerry Joseph led the tune backed by an accentuated version of his group the Jackmormons to cap an energetic three-night run […]

Last night IT was in the building.  Late Fall. A gradually ramping tour that has dropped multiple highlights each night. An indoor arena in the middle of the country not sold out.  Is there a better recipe out there for mind-blowing Phish? Coming out of the gates…technical difficulties? I was in the pit with the other […]

“You’re one of the greatest songwriters I’ve ever heard, but no one knows who the fuck you are. You’re the guy that took all the advanced classes, and none of the beginner ones.” – John Perry Barlow introducing Jerry Joseph as he took the stage in New Orleans a few years back. “I’m gonna put […]

Bob Weir kicked off the first show of a lengthy fall tour billed as Bob Weir & Wolf Bros at the Grand Sierra Theatre in Reno, NV on October 16th. Joined by Ratdog drummer Jay Lane, and acclaimed upright bassist Don Was, the trio offered a stripped down sound covering tunes from Bob’s solo work, […]
