Northeast Regional Report From the Editors: Tony Oliveira & Pete Sahlin
Greetings!It's been a great fall for live music here in New England and there's lots more to come this month. I hope everyone has gotten to a bunch of shows and will keep on coming out this month.
Keep the reviews coming in, folks. I know I certainly enjoy hearing other folks' thoughts on shows I also attended on on shows I had to miss. We've gotten more with each issue, so let's keep that trend going.
Guess that's it. Happy jamming!
Cheers,
Tony and Pete

Conehead Buddha
October 9, 1998
Harper's Ferry, Allston, MA
By Steve WilcoxConehead is a ska-ish band based out of Albany, NY. Their lead singer is multi-talented, playing guitar and bongos, they have a pretty solid bassist, a small set drummer, another guitar, and a horn section consisting of trumpet, sax, and trombone. They are a pretty young crew and have a lot of energy. I think they have 2 cd's and 1 live cd. Now that you have the background, on to the show.
It was pouring rain and still there was a decent turnout. I first caught Buddha at Lemonwheel this summer, and I was impressed enough to check them out again. They have a lot of energy and the crowd is always grooving. The sound is ska-ish I would say, but their songs extend into the jamming category. They mix in a little rap style and latino flavor as well. All in all a good sound to groove too. They are on the rise as I saw many people singing along and jamming with them. If you get a chance to check them out I highly suggest it. They tend to follow some Phish shows for after-show gigs so be on the lookout.

String Cheese Incident
October 15, 1998
Pearl St., Northampton, MA
By Pete SahlinCall me an idiot, but I somehow spaced the start time of this show, arriving just before 9:30 and just as SCI finished their first set. Oops! Fortunately, the second set (and the very hot jam I caught at the end of first set) was well worth the price of admission.
The second set kicked off with Lester (an old friend of the band, I believe) reading a lengthy poem about birds. The audience was impressively respectful during this reading, though I sensed some antsiness towards the end. From what I could catch of the poem, it was well-written with a nice use of language and literary reference. I'd like to read it sometime.
The band then took the stage, leading off with Lester Had a Coconut in an acoustic rendition. The drummer (name escapes me; sorry!) didn't use his full kit for these first few tunes, playing instead on a single hand drum. They continued in the acoustic vein with a nice rendition of Minor Swing: swinging indeed. A bouncy version of the classic Sittin' On Top of the World followed and included a magnificently ecstatic jam in the middle. Very hot (as was the club; thank god someone cracked open a window around this point).
The highlight of the show for me was the next song, Shine. I hadn't heard this song before and at first thought its chord structure a bit too simple, but soon I was completely sucked in. The lyrics, from what I can remember, were very pretty, and the jam was huge. Kyle absolutely raged during this song, building it to a dizzying height. The energy from the stage coursed through the crowd, eliciting gleeful roars of approval. This was GREAT music.
The rest of the set kept up the momentum and included That's What Love Will Make You Do and the set-closing Restless Wind, a personal favorite. They encored with a hyperdrive reading of the Allman Brothers' Ramblin' Man, sending me home a very satisfied customer.

Encore: Panama Red, Elvis's Wild Ride
(* 1st "sweet Home Alabama" - complete version, with Keith on lead vocals)Hey folks,
Just a quick little review. I think this was like my 7th? SCI show and I'm still not nearly familiar enough with song titles and versions to write a real review of them. Suffice it to say that they have pretty much gotten better everytime I've seen them. The Stone Coast is a nice little venue. A brew pub with a restaurant underneath, pool tables, and several TV's (which were occupied with the Yankees win over San Diego for much of the show :). The thing that has always impressed me about SCI is the way they are able to transfer so much of their energy to the audience and vice versa; this show was no different. The "Impressions>Black Clouds" really got me into the show, but the highlights for me were mainly in the 2nd set as I was able to stop myself from looking over at the TV's and just watch them tear it up. After "Jellyfish" the set really began to take off (Jellyfish actually reminds me of a GSW tune - Molly). "Another Night"and "Shine" were both quite nice as were both songs of the encore. Gotta keep this short so I will say that if you haven't seen SCI yet, get yourself to a show in the near future because these guys might not be playing bars/clubs for much longer. -Tony

Bela Fleck and the Flecktones/String Cheese Incident October 25, 1998
Orpheum Theatre, Boston, MA
By Chris DembroThis was my second incident (first was at HooDoo Bash) and I had only been able to see Bela when playing with DMB. I can tell you that it was a great show. It was my first time hearing most of the songs from both bands but, in the true art of improvisation, it really didn't matter.
String Cheese played for about 75 minutes and the Flecktones played somewhere along the lines of 105-120 minutes.
Bela and Co. played with Jeff Coffin (Last name???) on the Saxophone and Flute.
Going to the show, I was really curious to see what type of people the crowd would be made-up of. I knew it would be a great crowd to have fun with, which it was, but I wasn't sure on the age group. I only say this because Bela can be appreciated by all ages and musical sophistication levels.
String Cheese was fun (and eventually shoeless) and they played songs that were mostly from the new CD. They really let the new pianist (name???) show his skill, and the chemistry and respect was visible.
Bela played a great solo, but it ended the same way that "Live Art" ended. Vic played a mean bass solo... of course! Damn that guy is fast! Future Man played his solo with some lyrics that were played from some purple synthesizer, a wooden box with a hole in it, a large bongo, and a two piece drum kit with two cymbals (I wonder what SCIs drummer thinks of Futch).
Oh yah, Bela and Co. played WWW.STINKY'SBLUES.COM, a Jeff Coffin tune, and it was really really good. Jeff played with an Alto and Tenor Sax at the same time.
That's All!!!

Uncle Sammy
November 1, 1998
Promised Land, Harvard Square
by Dean BudnickOn Sunday November 1, Uncle Sammy played a stripped down, hour-long in-store set at Cambridge's Promised Land. The Boston-based group, with strong Berklee College of Music ties, is rapidly gaining an area following. The quartet is one of a rising crop of talented jam bands that freely draws from many genres- a style of sound which for want of a better term can be characterized as "jamalgam." The band's original compositions reference funk, jazz, latin, reggae and rock. The group also freely draws from all of these realms when it offers a select cover or two (a personal favorite is Uncle Sammy's incendiary take on Steely Dan's "Bodhisattva").
At Promised Land the group performed a range of instrumentals with a particular emphasis on jazz standards. This format highlighted the band's instrumental prowess while de-emphasizing the one area that still warrants some improvement, its vocals. The results were eminently satisfying. In this intimate setting drummer Thomas Arey was a particular revelation as he quite literally colored the palette with brushes (Arey's talents have been recognized by the Berklee faculty- he has toured with instructor Jim Stinnette- a name recognizable to Phish fans as he was Mike Gordon's original bass teacher and later performed with Phish at the Worcester Centrum on 12/29/95). Guitarist Max Delaney, supplied his own tasteful, tasty expressions, in particular stepping it up during the Uncle Sammy original "Zapatos." Both "Autumn Leaves" and "Blues For Alice" were brightened by the keyboard flourishes of Walter Sasser. Meanwhile, Brian O'Connell rose to the fore with some resonant bass space during the band's cover of Miles Davis's "All Blues." Another strong selection was the quartet's version of the Medeski Martin & Wood composition "Think." All in all, the group's winning performance in such a small room, bodes well for Uncle Sammy as it brings its spirited jamalgam to larger venues in the Boston area and beyond.
Uncle Sammy will enter the web soon at www.unclesammy.com. Until then the band's hotline is 617 266-1018. The group has an upcoming bi-weekly Thursday residency at Paddy Burke's in Boston (617 367-8370)..

November 4, 1998
The Music Hall, Portsmouth, NH
by Donny GriecoEditors note: I was also at this show so I've added my comments "**" to Donny's review
I: Moth>>Big World, STF, It, St Augustine, Hi & Lo, BYD>>Moth 1:05
II: Rebubula tease>>*Fast Eddie Jam>>Rebubula>>Jam>>Lyle Lovett, Threw it all Away, The Faker, Head E: Fire II+E 1:45
* After Rebubula tease they jam out into some lyrics Rob made up about his New son Edward's early arrival.
Ok, the traffic wasn't as bad as I thought and I made it to the Rusty Hammer at 6:10 for a beer and dinner with Tony, Eric and a few other non-listers. The first set began at about 7:30. The Music Hall was very uncrowded. I'd say it was less than half way full and it holds 850. When they hit the stage everyone in the front congratulated Rob on his newborn baby. Rob later asked if anyone drove to Burlington not knowing it was cancelled. A group in the front pointed to their friend. Rob apologized but said it was out of his control. The show started out great with a long ass Moth and went on for over 15 minutes with a nice segue into Big World. Al was teasing BW for about five minutes before the whole band followed. The next 4 songs (STF, It, St. Aug, Hi&Lo) were very standard and it got pretty boring for a while.
***I'd have to concur with Donny on most of his comments. The show started off hot, but kind of went down hill from Big World on. The 3 songs that followed are all *slide* songs; meaning Chuck plays slide on them and Al plays pedal steel on "It". They tend to have the same feel to them (does not exactly mean they sound the same). Hi & Lo is a nice little song, but it's better placed between some rocking tunes.***
They then whip out a monster Bring You Down, the best I've heard since 5/16/96 I wasn't timing the set but it was at least 15 minutes long and then finished off with the moth reprise to save the set. I would give this set a 5 out of 10. Great start and finish, weak mid set.
***Yep...Bring You Down was great! They slowed it down a bit and Chuck didn't seem to use so much of the screeching slide guitar that this song has kind of developed. Definitely one of the best versions I've seen or heard. The segue back into moth was seamless and kind of a treat.***
What can I say about the second set. It was hot! Definitely the best set I've seen all year (this is my 6th show of the year), continuing that Jazz Odyssey that they've been working on since Nantucket. Let's see, they teased the Rebubula intro but then completely started jamming on an unnamed tune after about 10 minutes. Then Rob began singing something about Fast Eddie. He made the lyrics up on the spot about his new son's fast arrival.
***Having the benefit of the tapes I can add that this intro was actually "Rebubula" just done a bit different. The "Fast Eddie" jam went something like "Fast Eddie, your my son. Fast Eddie 8 am, Fast Eddie the man with the plan." Don't expect to see this one again, but it was cool to hear. FYI Fast Eddie is what Rob's parents nicknamed Edward because of his premature birth.***
Then 20 minutes into the set, Al stated going off into his own world while the rest hold the Rebubula intro rhythm down. Finally they go into the verse and chorus. They did that spacey jam that has gotten some complaints, but it was so different, completely improvised. After about 50 minutes, they continue jamming after the final chorus when it usually ends. The jam gets real quiet and almost breaks down with a rough segue into my first Lyle Lovett since sometime in early 97. When it was all said and done, my watch said 55-60 minutes! Have fun fitting that on an analog without a cut. Anyway, Threw it all away was my first since 9/10/97, a welcome return. The faker was a first for me. It starts off as a slow ballad type song and then goes into a nice jam with a bunch of Head teases. I even heard a Battle of Benny Hill tease somewhere too. Then a millisecond stop and into an average head to end the set. The encore was way too short as they were out of time, Chuck couldn't remember the lyrics to the first verse so he sang the second verse twice. I would give the second set and encore a 9.5 out of 10. Get this set! The first set minus the encore should fit on 1 100-min tape. -Donny

E: MEAT!
# First time played. Elephant Walk tease> Antelope Jam/Run, Run, Run (verses)Put in my 8 hrs of work and was pretty exhausted from last night's show, but still looking fwd to seeing them in my backyard (I'm a Somerville resident). Met a few friends for pre-show beers and went on in shortly before moe. took the stage. I kept saying to others and thinking to myself that I didn't think they would be able to top the previous nights last 2 songs of the 1st set and the whole 2nd set. I've always felt moe. plays much better in front of a smaller audience. The place was packed and SOLD OUT so they'd have to prove me wrong. Well, on this night, they did just that! They kicked it off with 32 things which brought the energy in the place way up. An above average version all around. Next was Nebraska which isn't much in the way of jamming, but a very well written tune and one that pretty much everyone loves. No complaints from me. Y.O.Y. was up next. Again pretty standard, but still nice to hear because a) it's a very good song and b) played infrequently. The crowd was a little more subdued now, but not for long. Dr G. was up next and away we went. Excellent version of this song with the prerequisite Rob (bass) solo to boot. This segued into Havah Negilah. The segue was cool...very slow and it took me a few moments to figure it out. I don't particularly care for this song, but again, it isn't played that often so I don't mind it. Kind of goes on to long when they do the "harder, faster..." and they just keep playing it, well, harder and faster. I decided to visit the little boys room until people were done banging their heads to this one. Up next...BRAIN TUBA! My first time hearing the re-worked version (live). This song was debuted back on 1/21/97 and was retired later on that year. The boys decided to re-work it and it's been getting some much deserved time in the rotation now. The re-working actually makes this song better than the original version. Anyhow this one smoked and got many people boogying even though, I'm sure most people in there had no clue what song this was. Brain went into Rech Chem. The segue was sweet. I called it very quickly because the bass line is a dead giveaway. Took a few minutes before they finally got to it and then it just took off for a while. A 1 hour & 41 minute first set! Probably the longest 1st set I've ever had the pleasure of seeing them play. Wow, I couldn't believe they exceeded last night's 2nd set. Quickly scurried across the street for a cold one during set-break.
2nd Set:
Kicked it off with SOMP. This song is pretty standard most of the time. No matter, the crowd loves it...me I don't mind it now and again. Up next...Time Again. Sorry, but I've heard this tune way too many times. It's better with Al on mandolin (which he played), but still *I'm* tired of this tune, but again, the crowd still digs it. Spine was next and quickly I felt myself getting a bit bored. Again this one is overplayed and up until this summer went nowhere -jam wise. Well, guess what? Like the summer versions...this one did! At the point where they usually come back to the last chorus they started jamming. I think it was the "Elephant Walk" tease that they do from time to time. This slowly changed into something that sounded very familiar to me. NO way, can't be! Holy Shit...it was! They started doing "Run Like an Antelope" and people were going nuts. It didn't go on for very long and they started the "run, run, run, run...part a few times around and then wrapped it up and segued into Water. Water was nice and jammed out. This is another semi-reworked tune. They lost the little jam that was in the original, but it seems they've brought some of it back. I'll have to listen to the tapes to see just how much. Spaz followed. This tune straddles the line between overplayed and enjoyable for me. Yeah, I hear it too often, but I still like it most of the time.
On tap...Mexico. Always a crowd favorite and I was really into this one as was everyone else in the place. Man, was I exhausted after this. moe. left the stage and I wasn't sure what *I* wanted to hear. I knew I was going to NYC (the next night) and NoHo (on Sat.) so I really didn't care what they played because I figured they could save something for the next two shows. They didn't....MEAT! Yeah, it was about fucken time. I rarely ever yell out for songs, but at Halloween I was screaming for Meat after they teased it repeatedly. 5 nights later I get one. This wasn't an epic Meat. Ran about 18 mins and it was faster at times then I would have liked...mainly after the meat chorus they played at lightning speed for the head banger's enjoyment.
Still, I will take an average Meat over a good version of lots of their songs. All in all, a great show. I will have to give her repeated listenings when I get the tapes to verify this, but I felt it was the best of the 5 shows I saw in a row (from Ween -> on). I said my goodbyes and got the details on the next day's departure time. Very exhausted - I headed back for a night cap with a couple of friends with thoughts of the next night in my head :) -Tony
Foreword:
For those unitiated in the world of the Ominous Seapods, what you will read below is a typical "review" on the Pod-net. I assure you they did play music, but sometimes the mutants are having a bit too much fun to remember any of it the next day ;)ROADTRIP/ OMINOUS REVIEW
October 9th, 1998
Higher Ground:
by KimI swear, I should have known things were heading for ugliness when, while waiting to fly stand-by in Newark Airport, I recieved a sign. I raided the complimentary Continental magazine rack and although I have never seen "Swing" magazine before, it was the first I one picked up. As I'm leafing through the pages to make sure this is what I want, I catch a huge photo of the Old TP on some random page in the middle. My thumb was over his face but I recognized the flinging hair. There's a 3 page article about Jam bands by Richard Gher that focuses almost completely on those Seapod bastards. Now that's some serious fore shadowing for a freaky night!!!
...I'd post the article but the boys were all passing it around and it's probably still at the Higher Ground iin Burlington, VT. I plan to grab the stack when I get back to the airport tomorrow. Next thing you know, they'll be playing the Seapods for boarding music, video and all. (Well, we actually HAVE played the Pods for boarding music once but it wasn't a company sanctioned act...Nothing I care to lose my job over by repeating.)
Another cosmic clue of the mutancy to come was the woman in Burlington across from me on the bus. She looked homeless but her collections must have been profitable that day. She was pulling a bunch of brand new movies from a plastic bag, intently poring over the jackets of "Children of the Corn II", "Pet Semetary", and "Scream." It's too bad she didn't buy a brush....Maybe she can borrow TP's since it seems he's found his...:) Ah, my first impression of Burlington was a beautiful thang.
Bourbon suggested killing time at the mall before we met at Nectar's so that's where I went. I'm thinking this was yet anoher sign. The Halloween store in the far corner had exactly what I needed to complete my secret weapon for Vegas...Heh heh ahhh heh...(<--evil laugh)
Last but not least, when you get to the bar and spill your first drink without taking a sip, you know you're in deep shit. Especially with a cowboy as a witness who won't let you forget it...
Of course there's belly bucking in this story... The WBBF history book has a new chapter, and I have yet another victim...Must have been all that bourbon fueling my strength. Oh wait, it WAS Bourbon...as in the Cowboy!! Sadly, Jesse was more prone to finding the "lower ground" for two consecutive matches. (We may just have to rematch in Vegas. ???) Even more sadly, my downfall was soon to follow when, not much later, I was defeated by some chick ...who won't even be in Vegas. (She knows it could never happen twice.) Well, ya can't always be a winner. Too much booze and bucking for one night, I guess. I even have the bruised knee to prove it... Battle scars worn with pride.
To my advantage, I've learned some valuable lessons on skill. Shit, I need some more falafels, a little less JD, my lucky shirt, and from now on I'll be wearing my shoes... I can't tell you the rest of my findings or everyone would be a winner...
I'm sure Jesse will be writing a full blown review so I'll let him tell "the rest of the story." Unfortunately, I just got in and have to head back out. I have to get back to work for some retraining in a far away land where falafels abound...I hear there's a psychological expert I should seek out as well...
It was awesome to hang with Jesse, Mrs. Bourbon (who so kindly held my shoes), and the Gupster! Thanks for the dinner company and the ride!!! Oh, and those bastards were a hell of a lot of fun too...
Watch for some new toys on the scene..Mrs. Bourbon brought some prezzies for our boys! One more thing...Gravy fries at Nectar's RULE, but only when you have Lynn Guppy there to pour on the pepper...
