Sundance’s The True History of the Traveling Wilburys cobbles together home movies and concert footage to tell the tale of the world’s greatest supergroup. Like the band’s brief career, this
Earlier this week we saw a page on the Grateful Dead’s website that we probably weren’t supposed to see. The post announced the release of Road Trips Volume 1, Number 3 featuring music from the Summer of 1971. Now they’ve taken down the post, and we can’t find any information on the release anywhere.
Luckily we saved what we saw that day, so we figured we’d share it with you. While we haven’t been thrilled with the first two Road Trip releases, this next one looks pretty fucking rad.

Whatever the reason, that summer rocked.
R.E.M., The Replacements and The Cure opened the doors for crossover hits, but the Grunge movement led every major label A&R rep to try to find the next Pearl Jam. Fifteen years later alternative has turned into indie, and many of the bands that were big in ’93 are still drawing fans by playing the songs that broke them big that summer. This week’s B List takes a look at my favorite songs from the Summer of ’93.

We thought just about every jam band besides Phish and Widespread Panic allowed fans to upload shows to the Live Music Archive, but that’s not the case. Another longtime holdout

We’ve just passed the four year anniversary of Trey Anastasio’s infamous letter to the fans declaring Phish was done, but according to a post on Rolling Stone’s blog this morning
