I'm a fan of anyone who hangs with Dereck Trucks - that guy is a phenom.

Life of the Party
Saw derek at Russian river blues festival at noon as an earlier opener... late 90s. It was the time when he was more jazz than blues. The whole audience talked while my girl and I danced our asses off in the front row. Has been a favorite ever since.
Interesting to hear grow and mature over the years... and although the new group is amazing... I still prefer when Susan takes a break.
Saw Tedeski Trucks in Seattle at the Paramount about 4 years ago. I had great seats like 115 rows back. Everyone around me seemed to think that it was a Susan Tedeski show. They sat for the entire 1st set.
After set break I told everyone that I was standing for the rest of the concert. I do not know how you can hear that man play guitar and sit down.
The person behind me thanked me after the show. I was thoroughly amazed that anyone could sit. Maybe they were Paramount season ticket holders?
I saw Goose in July at Radio City Music Hall. I saw the Friday night show. Saturday was the better show, but I had a wedding and my 17 yr old did not want to stay in the City for another night. I saw that show with my 17 yr old daughter and 72 yr old immigrant MIL. Three sets of jam band magic. My MIL was awesome. Great City. Great venue. Phenomenal band.
I saw them in Seattle over the winter too. What a joy to feel music again after all of the lack of music for 2 years. The crowd there was also just super kind. It was a joyous occasion.

Rage Against the Machine at the PNC Arena in Raleigh was awesome. Was a bit concerned with an older band with no new material just mailing it in, but they still rock. Only wish Zack hadn't injured his foot earlier in the tour as he had to sit the whole concert. Voice is all that matters though and he still brings it.

You've likely seen this. This whole set with Trucks and Mr. Anastacio playing Derek and the Dominos stuff is really pleasant to my ear.
Im not a fan of John Mayer or his new guitar line
Goose is one that has gotten way better over the past year and half or so. They have most of their shows on the internet archive (if you dont know that one you should) the first of their headlining tour to now shows amazing growth.
Super solid band.
Trey and derek doing the dominoes is fantastic!
We were at the met one time looking at a earlier Italian/american immigrant luthier display... lots beautiful hand made guitars for all sorts of greats.
Heard a man telling a story about how Dwyane Allman recorded, and noticed that he was quickly ignored by his peer. It was W Haynes (apparently he has lots of stories) and the Allman bros... derek, kofi all of em.
Later, the wife surprised me with tickets to the beacon that night. Her first concert (she grew up in shanghai)... now every show is compared to Allmans at the beacon.... no sitting at that one.

I will be seeing Goose in Pt. Townsend at the Thing Festival with my wife. I hope that they are allotted enough time. Their music really scratches me where I itch.
They could easily become very succesful pop musicians. I think that is what I like most. Although they do jam a lot, the variety of music and styles within one concert keeps me constantly stimulated.
I have become a big fan.
If The Allman Bros at Beacon is the standard that your wife holds concerts too then that is a uber-high standard. That could get expensive.

An honest tune with a lingering lead
I highly recommend the album 'ashes in the wake'
Just exploded my biceps to Resurrection Man.
Bad ass.

That's the track that hooked me first on that album, they should have a live version on there too which I almost like better. Not a summer concert but...
Lamb of god is actually coming to Portland in October... I wonder if I can get my wife to go, see how much she loves me!
Goose show should be good....
Yeah... she has a refrain "it was good... but not like allman at the beacon..." I tell her "it never will be." Concert experience is so much a full package snippet of life at the time... each moment irreplaceable.
What a freakin show.
