No. It was the same appeal to punk bands or the rave culture. It's the scene. I don't think that's a bad thing at all. But jam bands foster a sense of belonging in the fan base. If anything, that's a positive thing.

but I can see why you're so defensive about not being special. No one likes their clique to be analyzed.

A couple of us have already proved this theory of yours wrong. I have never been to a grateful dead show and they're one of my favorite bands. I'm certainly not in it for the "tribe".

I've seen Widespread Panic tons of times but I don't identify with most of the people that go to those shows. I'm not a wookie yet I've traveled all over the country to see that band without ever becoming a member of the "tribe"
