The Jam Cruise Forum

Hi Cruisers!

Hope you're doing rather well and that you had a fabulous weekend! Mine couldn't have been better! Galactic once again blew the roof off of the Crystal Bay Club! Much to my amazement Stanton had a pretty huge drum kit with 2 bass drums, roto-toms, some electronics & a few more cymbals than usual. I've never seen him play more than the basic four drums the previous 30 times!

If for some incredibly sad reason you can listen to only one show this week, this free-to-stream Ten Years After show at the SF Fillmore in 1968 (http://www.wolfgangsvault.com/ten-years ... -1968.html) ought to be it!!! Alvin Lee's guitar playing is about as phenomenal as it gets!!

I'm looking forward to the free Head for the Hills bluegrass show at the Crystal Bay Club on Saturday, Karl Denson's Tiny Universe with Anders Osborne playing the Rolling Stones' Sticky Fingers album there on April 6 and 7 and a free Tea Leaf Green show at Squaw Valley at 2 p.m. on April 7!!

Have a superb week!

Peace, love and hippieness,

Steve

Cornmeal is doing a For Whom the Bell Tolls cover these days? Guess I need to check that out.
