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.

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.

Jam Cruise 9 will set sail from Ft. Lauderdale on January 4th filled to the brim with amazing artists and the band fans who love them. Today, we present another Jam Cruise Files column which profiles a band or musician scheduled to rock the MSC Poesia between January 4 & 9. This installment of JC Files features a musician who has played on every Jam Cruise to date – drummer Stanton Moore who will perform with Galactic, Garage A Trois and Anders Osborne over the course of this year’s trip.

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.
