For the Grateful Dead, New Year’s Eve concerts were often lavish, yet begrudgingly approached affairs. Jerry Garcia reportedly lamented the added pressure of performing on 12/31, despite having played twenty-two New Year’s Eve shows with the Dead, including sixteen in-a-row from 1976-1991. Musically speaking, the shows themselves were generally underwhelming, especially when juxtaposed with the […]

 moe. finished up their run of drive-in performances this past Saturday (11/7/20) at Showtime At The Drive-In in Frederick, Maryland with a rousing pair of celebratory sets that repeatedly referenced the historic presidential election which had (thankfully) been called in favor of Democratic nominee Joe Biden earlier that afternoon.  The overwhelming feeling of relief and […]

The latest installment of Phish’s now monthly archival livestream series Dinner And A Movie will deliver a special Halloween-themed treat for fans as the band will air three of their legendary “musical costume” sets from previous Halloween performances.
