just wanted to get out there and let the people know a new group has taken the title. after the absolute destruction of the Joy Theater this weekend i am now a true believer. "I" "got" "IT".

if you are not aware of JRAD and the music they play you should take the time to educate yourself

it is the dawn of a new era on the MB, and in music in general. The JRAD Age

While I think that JRAD are amazing and would probably go see them before I'd go see Phish right now... I'm not sure that a cover band can really represent a paradigm shift.

Definitely Tier 1 Cover Band, though.

So a fricking cover band is "the official band of the MB?"

Sadly, that sounds about right.

sure they cover GD songs but thats such a small part of it

the amount of actual GD material to original improv was like 30-70

they're at mid 90s Phish level with some of the stuff they're putting out there on stage right now. it's truly fricking impressive.

The cover band argument is so dumb and tired.

It comes down to the improv. And right now JRAD is the best at that. Period.

What a fricking weekend

I like jrad and all, but you mean it's the official band of you and your 3 or 4 other buddys.

also, yall's official band is a cover band? c'mon now. yeah, they jam and all. whatever, not worth arguing.

Regardless of who originally wrote the songs, there isn't a group producing better music right now than Hammy, Russo, Dreiwitz, Benevento, and Metzger.

They sound like they have been playing this show together for 30 years. It really is remarkable.

Thanks for the heads-up.

Question: Do i have to actually listen to JRAD, or can I just buy the sleeveless hoodie and wear it?

When I saw them at Hulaween compared to Saturday night, they have improved tremendously. It also may have had something to do with them closing out the festival. But, they fricking brought it Saturday.
