Nothing wrong with a Yonder Mountain String Band kind of break .... or if you want to stray but yet saty somewhat close to home go to brentmydland.net and check out some of the other artists stuff ... Yonder plays Jerry, there is even some Go Ahead, Brent and Billy's solo project of sorts ... who I have been listening to alot lately is Railroad Earth, give them a listen

Yeah, you do need a break. Sometimes I don't think I can endure yet another version of "One More Saturday Night."

Currently am listening to phish and wondering whether I want to 'access' the bass lines.

Both phish and the dead covered a lot of material from other artists. One fun show of the phish is their entire cover of the Beatles white album (available at gdlive.com; sorry, I don't remember the date). Lots of positive energy there.

10-31-94, great effin' show. Remarkable musicians. And if I were you, I WOULD access those bass lines, lots of neat stuff you'll find there.

Also, as a reference, check out these 2 tab sites (the 2nd one also has a seldomly used talk forum...I wished more people would use that in regards to Phish as folks use this one in regards to the Dead!):

http://www.strangedesign.org/

ps - strangedesign is under construction right now but I'd expect it to be up & running soon - lot os Phish bass tabs there, too.

Hey thanks shakedown,

Just took a look at emil's tabs and there's some great reference material.

Phish songs seem kind of 'ethereal' (except for Possum, Moma Dance and some others), so I'm starting to wrap my head around some of their tunes.

There are a lot of fun, easier ones to learn at first. Try:

Mike's Song
Birds of a Feather
Bathtub Gin
AC/DC Bag
Funky Bitch (cover by Son Seals)
Wolfman's Brother
Suzy Greenberg

I could make this list a mile long, but I'll stop. Let me know if you need any help.

Two of my favorites with SCI and Dylan. Surprised no one has mentioned 13th Floor Elevators. Not too much live stuff out there (if any), but... wow. SCI's studio material seems like a waste of time.

SCI is something that must be experienced live or listen to the show recordings

i usually use strange design for tablature. wikis don't work well for hosting tabs, imo.
