The last time I was due up for Friday Mix Tape I put together a list of rock tunes written in 5. Well, let’s add two more beats to the

A couple of weeks ago when I just featured longer segments from less bands, I saw the download count for the “Pocast” go up a little bit, so I’m going to start doing that more often. I’ll still have editions where I feature five different bands, but for today – just three bands, and leading off we’ve got a 30-minute segment spanning just two tunes.

the Disco Biscuits have just wrapped up their big summer tour and from I can tell from fans of the band, it went very well. I personally went and checked out both shows in Massachusetts this past weekend and thought the band sounded great and they looked even better with the addition of the lasers. tDB are off until their Halloween run starts on October 27th in Baltimore, but Conspirator (featuring Marc Brownstein and Aaron Magner) plays tonight at Cervante’s in Denver, CO.

Feeling Twisted, the encore from the following night’s tour closer in Boston:

There were a couple of festivals this Labor Day weekend. One of them was moe.down in Mohawk, NY and you’ll be hearing plenty of recordings from that below. The other one was the North Coast Music Festival in Chicago and while we’ve seen plenty of video pop-up, it’s been pretty light to non-existent on the audio recordings.

The Black Keys – Next Girl, Chop and Change, Howlin’ For You, Tighten Up

moe.down always does a great job of bringing in a few non-jambands to round out their talent. This segment of songs features a little extra help from the baking musicians whereas the video embedded below is during the portion of their set that was stricly duo-style. The Black Keys play tomorrow at the Virginia Beach Amphitheater.

Judging by The Raw Totals over at ZZYZX’s website, Phish has played 736 different songs in the 1298 shows that we know about and have setlists for. 310 of those were one-timers, that number may seem high but remember that includes things like: Che Hun Ta Mo, Dickie Scotland, Merry Pranksters Jam, Metal Bagel Death – you get the idea. As Phish continues to dig deeper into their massive catalog of songs, I thought I’d take a look at a few songs that have been played exactly once that I think might be worthy of at least a second performance, if not a third and fourth.

There’s something about Star Lake in Burgettstown, they always seem to get at least one major bust out and often many more than that. In ’98 it was Trenchtown Rock and Time Loves A Hero, ’99 you’re going to see later in this list, 2000 saw the first performance of Shafty in almost 150 shows, 2003 was basically one bust out after another, and even 2009 which appears a bit standard on paper featured the first Walk Away in almost nine years. Amoreena has been the only Phish foray into the repertoire of Elton John, which is surprising because it seems right in Page’s wheelhouse.

No digital cameras in 1997 to show you video of Amoreena, but here is the Chairman Of The Boards performing Tiny Dancer solo at the High Sierra Music Festival in 2006.
