Rez, I would really like to hear your idea of what a "good" live band does. Concidering Widespread Panic, Phish and the Grateful Dead approached each live show as being an actual significant event rather than repeat the same setlist they do everynight to promote there new album. They give there audience something new everytime they play, which is the reason why people stalk them.

Most Jambands are all about Improvisation and Musical composition which not what many musicians manage to do well. in todays music people are more reliant on studio majic to make a good record than actual musical no how.

Also using the word Jambands bugs the shit outta me because a lot of them do suck, but theres a few that are damn good. And just sounds stupid to lump them into one catagory.

FZ was mostly influenced by early R&B, and I didn't mean that he was influenced by Jerry. I was saying that bands like Phish and moe. have more of a Zappa influence than the Dead.
