The rest of the band is Rob Barraco on keys, John Molo on drums, Joan Osborne singing, and another guitarist ( Mark Campbell or something like that, I don't think it's Barry Sless this time ).
Phish never did much for me, but phreaker, although I do love da Dead to death, there are LOTS of other great bands out there worthy of your time and attention. One jam band I would HIGHLY reccomend to anyone is Little Feat.
i saw the Feat at Wakarusa in 05. AMAZING set! They did covers of Dark Star and Tennessee Jed, and then jammed into Dixie Chicken. It was amazing.
I dont want to give off the impression that the ONLY music I listen to is the Dead. I do listen to them more than any other, true, but there always has to be a band to fill that position. I am very in touch with the local music scene here in Lawrence, Ks., though.
If any of you are into punk or bluegrass, Check out Split Lip Rayfield.

once you go to that site, a song should start playingm just to give you a good taste of them.
Don't know why I threw their name out there, but I have another little obsession with them. At least 15 concerts in the last year.
