Note from the Editor(s):Hey guys and gals,
Wow!!! Another month of great music here in N. England has come to a close and it appears there will be no letting up for the new year (see the calendar section). I trust that many of you were ringing in the new year at many of the incredible, end of the year, shows that occurred through out N. England and beyond. Judging by the low number of reviews I've received (hint, hint), many of you are still recovering, I know I am. Well, this month Pete and I have decided to try to spur/inspire a few of you young, budding writers to send us more reviews and at the same time spread some music around. ANNOUNCING: Starting with next months issue (Feb.), Pete and I will offer to spin for B&P, any ONE (analog) show off either our lists (my dat or his analog) to the person we feel has contributed the best review. We look forward to reading your thoughts and comments on any particular show. Also, if you have any other suggestions, comments, or thoughts that you feel would make this site and even better resource to the jamband community, feel free to send us those as well. .
As always, a special thanks to this month's contributors and a belated HAPPY NEW YEAR to all!!!-Tony and Pete
REVIEWS: ALLSET: 12/12/98 - Mama Kin Music Hall, Boston, MASetlist: Jam, Jam, Jackass, Jam, Make a Break for It, Little Pimpin -> Jam, The Next Victim ->7
As some of you may know, with all the great bands that play in and around Boston, it is sometimes very difficult to get yourself to check out some *new* music that you've never heard before. This was the case for me with Allset. Many times I have seen them scheduled around town only to discover that there is some other band that I've heard or seen before that prevented me from checking them out. Well, on Dec. 12th, I finally got my chance. Allset is comprised of: Brad Slate - Electronic/Midi Violin, Chris Plachowicz - Bass, Sadeeg Holmes - Keyboards and Synthesizers, and Mark Ostrowski on Drums. They were the second band on the bill that night and I was unsure of what to expect after seeing the first band, a harmonica/blues band....can't quite recall their name. Never having heard them only added to this uncertainty. This feeling was further reinforced when I saw that they had NO guitarist, which is quite strange for most jambands. Rest assured, they do just fine without one. Just by looking at the setlist (above), you might guess that I was unfamiliar with any songs by the repeated use of "jam", while I was unfamiliar with them, the setlist above was provided by Brad (Violin player) so all those so-called "jams" were just that....highly improvisational stuff! I'd put these guys in the class of Schleigho, Jazz Mandolin Project and the Slip as far as the amount of improv that they seem to do. They seem to excel at the free form stuff, very unstructured and completely on the fly. Brad uses some very interesting MIDI effects on that Violin of his. It's down right scary when you look up there and realize it's all coming from a Violin. He even played horns (on the Violin) at some point and I kept looking around to see where the horn player was standing until I finally realized it was him. All the other musicians were excellent as well. They all got their turns to show their stuff, so to speak. At times, I thought I heard a very middle eastern flare in their sound. I must say that I will definitely be checking these guys out again. I especially recommend them to those of you out there, who have become bored with the more traditional type jambands.

SCHLEIGHO - Tammany Hall, Worcester, MA 12/26/98
One thing I can say about this band, Schleigho, from Wendell, MA is that whenever they come into town, they sure do bring a lot of folks into town with them, for sure! The Schleigho fans are easy to spot. They're the first ones on the dance floor. The ones that know every song, sing every line (though the vocals are few and far between) and cheer extra loud. They are the last ones to leave, smiling their huge smiles of satisfaction all the way to their stickered up VW's and other assorted "hippy" type rides that are waiting in the lot outside. Bands are lucky to have faithful fans like that. Seeing all those bright, smiling faces always brings a kind vibe to a venue...even before the music begins. We arrived at the Tammany (as we Locals like to call it) just moments after the music began and the 4 members of Schleigho were already right smack in the middle of some far out, acid jazz strawberry jam.
Yes!
4 heads down, swaying gently back and forth with the music, eyes closed, each wore an intense grimace of deep concentration. At times, each and every one of the members seemed to be lost in their own individual spiritual moment, yet, at the same time, they all managed to stay so extremely focused on the culminating jam at hand. It's amazing the way they this band can swim in and out of chaos so swiftly and return again so very smoothly. They jammed this way for the better part of 30 minutes straight, during which time, they seldom fell into anything resembling the traditional "song" with verses, a chorus and lyrics. They creatively managed to maintain an amazing perpetual jam that was ever changing and flowing yet somehow always returning to the jam at square one...only to immediately head out again in some other even more captivating direction. During these jams, I found myself with plenty of time to check out the band's equipment. The drummer plays a pretty normal drum kit. Nothing fancy. The keyboard (or should I say organ) player was sitting behind a beauty of an organ that was way past it's 30th birthday and still sounding strong! The bassist held onto a beautiful and very unique 5 string bass. Some crazy funkin' was coming out of those 5 strings, let me tell ya. Then looking over at the one and only guitarist at stage left, I notice he is playing a small (but not abnormally so) electric acoustic guitar. This puzzles me for a few moments because, before seeing the instrument he played, I would have sworn on my dancin' shoes that he was holding some 80's metal band member's signature electric job. It was strange to hear the jazzy, funked up slide action that you'd expect from a straight electric being created thru this tiny little acoustic guitar. But the effect was electrifying, to say the least (please pardon the pun).
There were times, I must admit, where I half-hoped they would end up playing some sort of song. One that had a beginning, a middle and an end with some sort of structure in the middle. The random and, at times, entirely too frequent time changes started making me dizzy and left me standing still wondering how I should be dancing to it. But usually by the time the thought of sitting down was fully formed in my head, the guys would be sailing off again on some funky jam that got me moving and grooving all over again.
I would have loved to hear more vocals, though. The singer had a soft yet contrastingly full and powerful voice that would have worked well with some of their more structured, song-like jams. It was a shame that we only caught a line or two here and there. Some powerful lyrics kinda stuck in the middle of a soft jam for good measure. To be honest, I didn't sense a whole lot of structure in their sets, if I am allowed to say that. It seemed as if sometimes, they were never gonna come back from a jam. And often, they never did. They just went off into some other wild jam...completely abandoning the one before and just moving on. Aaarrrgggghh. Not that I'm complaining, of course! The band LOVES to jam and the crowd doesn't mind one bit. They all dance together in some erratic form of unity, all dancing to their own inner beat yet unified still, if only by the music pumping out of the sound system. The way a good show should be.
I enjoyed myself tremendously tonight. I'm especially glad I got the chance to thank the band personally for the smiles. I would definitely recommend a night of Schleigho to anyone who wants to hear some all out, funky/jammy jazz cuz these guys deliver the goods. Enjoy.

MAX CREEK - NYE's Festoon 12/31/98
Since 1971 the band known as Max Creek has been playing music for their ravenous fans, and for just as long their fans have been coming out to see them. This past New Year was no exception. Billed as "Max Creek's New Year's Eve Festoon," the band provided music for six hours for the low, low price of just twenty dollars. The show was entirely self-produced and took place at the Connecticut Expo Center in Hartford, CT. I can tell you one thing, the place was rockin'!!
I arrived a bit late to the show and only caught about ten minutes of Sassagrass, the opening band, but they set the pace for a great New Year's celebration. Sassagrass hails from Boone, NC and is a four- piece bluegrass outfit. They have played with The Creek on numerous occasions, most notably this past summer at a three day festival called Camp Creek. After they went off I muscled my way towards the bar and bought a bunch of beers because there was quite a line. I talked to a few friends and even made some new ones, but everyone was anxious to hear the band.
Max Creek took the stage to an eruption of applause, hoots, hollars, cat-calls, whoops, Tarzan yells, and every other imaginable noise that can be made with the human mouth. They wasted no time and busted right into the Rolling Stone's "Jumpin' Jack Flash" which turned into a patented Max Creek jam that flowed into a song called "Fire and Brimstone" and then into a song "Wild Side." This one really gets the crowd going and everyone in the room had a smile from ear to ear.
I returned to the bar and missed one of my favorite songs, "Carrie," but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. The second set ended with the Neville Bros. "Yellow Moon" into "Something is Forming" and I was exhausted from boogeying down. A drum circle formed towards the back of the place during set break but quickly broke up when the band took the stage again, we knew more music was coming.
The second set began with a song called "Mother" that Scott Murawski played by himself with just an electric guitar. After that the rest of the band took the stage and broke into "Tangled up in Blue." Then two of this Creekaholic's favorite Max Creek originals, "Gypsy Blue," sung by bassist John Rider and then a smokin' "Louisiana Sun." Out of that came a jam with a saxophone player named Jenn Avery which flowed into Stevie Wonder's "Boogie on Reggae Woman" with keyboard player Mark Mercier taking the reigns. Next came the drum solo with drummer Scott Allshouse and percussionist extrordinare Rob Freid beating rhythms that quite possibly could have hurt a few people. More jamming after this, then the opening licks to "St. Stephen" came out of that which turned into the whole song. The set closed with a song called "You Let Me Down Again."
The stage was empty for a few minutes and the band again returned to play "99 Years" and then a "Werewolves of London" that left the whole place howling at the moon. After the show another drum circle took shape, and I even got a security dude to beat on the skins for a while. That's Creek for ya'.
All in all it was a great show, with splendid lights that made me wish I still took those mind-altering things. If you have never seen Max Creek I beg of you to check out a show, it will be a good time. As far as I can gather it's just about having a good time with great music. They haven't been playing this long for nothing...

Being a huge moe. fan it's needless to say that I had been looking forward to this show since I heard about it back in the fall. The fact, that I found out fairly recently, that Dana and Todd would be opening for a few of the gigs only added to my anticipation. Mother Nature was nice enough to send a few inches of the white stuff our way on this night, which made for probably a smaller or at least more of a late arriving crowd. Anyhow, on to the show....
THE HOLIDAY RAMBLERS:
Holiday Ramblers Theme, Bong Hits and Porn->Schizophrenic Rain ->BH & Porn, Holiday Ramblers Theme, Don't think of Me at All*, Last Dance w/ Mary Jane#, Holiday Ramblers Theme, Have a Cigar##, Lighthouse, Holiday Ramblers Theme
*new song
#Tom Petty
##Pink FloydThe place was pretty empty as Dana and Todd took the stage. There were a few hard-core Seapods fans in attendance, which made up for their lack of numbers. The Holiday Ramblers Theme pretty much set the stage for the rest of the night, as far as I was concerned. "Cuz we're the Holiday Ramblers and we got some drinking to do!" It was nice to hear many familiar OSP tunes done acoustically as well as get a preview of some of them with their new guitarist, Todd Pasternack. The BH&P->Schizo->BH&P was probably the highlight for me. The place gradually filled in through out their 45 min (or so) set. One Fell Swoop was next. Seemed like some of the crowd was pretty into them, but *I* didn't find them particularly interesting so I decided to go chat with Dana, Todd and Ted and catch up on some of that drinking! For the record I had seen One Fell Swoop before and I still encourage people to judge for themselves, as music tends to be highly personal. The place was about 3/4 full or so it seemed by the time Al and company took the stage. I did manage to make a request of Al before the show....Guitar, which I has seen on the setlist for the last two nights. He didn't give me the impression one way or another that he'd play it, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask. As some background, moe. has been doing this kind of mini-tour, semi-annually for the last year and a half. Well, not necessarily moe., but at least one of their members. Previously they were doing it under the name of "The Merry Danksters". This year it was Al's show. The Transamericans consisted of: Ted Merotta (seapods), Jim Loughlin (moe., yolk), Kirk (freebeer&chicken), Rolf Witt (danksters & others). The Setlist was as follows:
St. Augustine, Mexico(no Badges, or anything), Jambalaya, Bring You Down*, Me & My Uncle, Guitar, Lay Down Sally**, We'll Last A While#, Time Again, Love is a Rose, Queen Of the Rodeo, Dead Flowers
E: Waiting For the Punchline
*w/Dana Monteith (Seapods) on guitar
**w/ Todd Pasternack (Seapods) on guitar
# Out take from Tin Cans and Car TiresThe setlist was a mix of some, well chosen covers, and various moe. tunes. It was quite nice to hear these different takes on material (moe.) that has become very familiar to me over the last few years. The addition of the fiddle (Rolf), keyboards, Harmonica and Banjo (Kirk played all 3 at various times) added a very interesting and welcome flavor to some of the moe. tunes and the covers as well. It was also nice to hear Jim on bass and Ted on drums and even vocals. Ted's style is quite different than Vinnie's (moe.'s regular drummer) so it once again provided a new twist on them. I must confess that I probably enjoyed the show more than a few of the moe. shows I attended. This was partially due to the atmosphere, which was fun, laid back and the not very crowded with plenty of dancing space for all. I won't go into a song by song review because my memory was quite foggy. BYD had Dana joining in, and it was nice to add one of my favorite guitarists to the already rich mix. The only song that I'd particularly like to mention is GUITAR!!! Words cannot not convey the joy I felt at finally hearing this song once again. You see, it had been approximately 40 moe. shows since I last heard this song live so you'll excuse me for being over-enthusiastic for this one. The song is pretty simple and far from being the best or my favorite moe. tune, but I've always wondered if I'd ever hear it again, so this one made my night. After the show, I managed to grab the setlist from the stage and noticed that Guitar had been flip-flopped with St. Augustine. I'm completely guessing here.... I don't know if Al was just being cruel and teasing me or if he'd possibly moved it back so the rest of the night wouldn't be anti-climatic for me, but in any event it's all good! Thanks Al for bringing this one back, even if it is short lived and thanks to all the musicians for a wonderful night. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone in one form or another in the coming weeks/year.

Here's additional AL & THE TRANSAMERICANS review, taken with permission, from a post on moe-l by a friend of mine...Sharon.
Hi all,
Just a quick review of AL & Transams at the Middle East :St. Augustine was the opener. It was very solid. The great thing was that Al and the keys man (name?) traded licks back and forth during the jam. Mexico was one of the best I've heard. The jam was packed with energy. For those of you who didn't get to see this line up, it's amazing what the fiddle can bring to a song. The fiddle player wailed, stepping up to the plate without missing a beat. Coming back into the end of the song after the jam was tight; everyone was right on. There was no "badges" pause.
Jambalaya- std N'Oleans, knee slapping version. Made me want to "Suck the head, Squeeze the tip". Bring You Down was another song that contained a monster jam. One of the seapods sat in, but unfortunately his jam could hardly be heard due to the loser house mixer @ the Middle East. The jam built steadily with Al bringing it right into a full fledged "Fire On the Mt" jam. It was sweet!
Following up Bring You Down was a good version of Me & My Uncle- Bobby eat your heart out! Next was Guitar, which made Tony very happy. Lay Down Sally followed with the other Seapod sitting in. This time the mixer got the mix right, and his solo was great. Everyone had their chance to build into the jam. The only thing that turned me off was the singing. Al was on, but whoever else sang with him was off tune.
We'll Last Awhile is a great tune. Al said it was written for TC & CT, but it didn't make it on. Too bad. The song was pretty with the std Al/country flair. Time Again followed, a song that I usually go to the bathroom during, but stuck around to hear the Fiddle player wail on the Mandolin. Also, the ending was had no "Really...Really...Really.......Big!" and was much more enjoyable. Love is Rose (Neil Young) was next and then Queen of the Rodeo which both were well done.
Dead Flowers closed the set. Rob thought they "Country Honk" would have been a better fit since they it features the fiddle. Either way, it's always nice to hear a Stone's cover, and the Transams didn't let anyone down.
E: Punchline. I like the old version better, but the jam at the end was good.
Overall, the show was fun. The crowd was decent sized and there was a lot of "Yee-Hahing" going on. The Keyboard player was the MVP, playing the keys, the Harp- (Amazing harp solos) AND the Banjo. Everyone should try to get a copy of the show. The tape came out great! Although, we are lucky that it exists based on 1 minor brain fart. See you all soon.
