We’re about to hit the 15th anniversary of the first H.O.R.D.E. tour, so we wanted to celebrate the occasion with a B List.
The Horizons of Rock Developing Everywhere festival was started in 1992 by Widespread Panic, the Spin Doctors, Phish, ARU and Blues Traveler as a way to present a new style of music to the masses. Each of the bands on that inaugural tour had big followings, but not big enough for them to break into the sheds for a summer tour. John Popper and Blues Traveler manager Dave Frey took the H.O.R.D.E. ball and ran with it for seven consecutive summers, offering different lineups each year. Many big artists rocked the festival, as well as many small acts that have grown into major players.
This week’s B List looks at the best bands to ever play at the H.O.R.D.E. during the traveling festival’s seven-year run. We’re going to assume you know all about these bands — so we’ll give you some background on their participation in the H.O.R.D.E. tour and tell you where they are now:
10. Bela Fleck and the Flecktones: The Flecktones joined the inaugural H.O.R.D.E. tour at a time when both the band and the festival didn’t have much name recognition. Phish was unable to play the second leg of dates on that first tour, so festival organizers called upon Bela to take their spot. The band played a brief four night-four show run that exposed the H.O.R.D.E. festival to the south. Fourteen years later the band is still going strong with the 2006 release of the Grammy-winning, The Hidden Land. Bela Fleck and The Flecktones kick off a full summer tour in a few weeks.
Read on after the jump for the remaining nine bands on this week’s B List…

It’ll take an excess of positive mojo to erase the debacle of a certain Vermont music festival, but that state’s second most famous rock foursome is itchin’ to try.
