NoSaint Posted May 19, 2017 Posted May 19, 2017 Not in buffalo but you're a fool if you are and you don't do Gary Clark and Robert Randolph
WhoTom Posted May 20, 2017 Posted May 20, 2017 Last year we saw Funktional Flow (Buffalo band) at the Great Blue Heron Music Festival. I highly recommend seeing them. http://www.funktionalflow.com/tour-dates/ http://www.funktionalflow.com/news/flow-fest/ They play mostly original music with occasional covers.
Chef Jim Posted May 21, 2017 Posted May 21, 2017 Dark Star Orchestra is very, very good. For a cover band.
gomper Posted May 21, 2017 Posted May 21, 2017 Being a Deadhead, DSO is has too much of a necrophiliac vibe to me. Oh, their going to play Cornell 77? Yeah, I already heard it done right the first time.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted May 21, 2017 Posted May 21, 2017 You guys are crazy. DSO is a very solid band. Yeah, they're not the GD, but they're very sound and entertaining musicians. For a $5 show...that's pretty solid value. Snobs.

The Poojer Posted May 21, 2017 Posted May 21, 2017 What are your thoughts on Dead and Company Being a Deadhead, DSO is has too much of a necrophiliac vibe to me. Oh, their going to play Cornell 77? Yeah, I already heard it done right the first time.
gomper Posted May 22, 2017 Posted May 22, 2017 What are your thoughts on Dead and Company I actually think it's their the best incarnation post Jerry. Does room for growth exist? Of course. Some hate Mayer but I don't. I think he comes correct. Seeing Mickey and Billy rip it up is worth the $40 alone.
Best Player Available Posted May 22, 2017 Posted May 22, 2017 Would like too see Gary Clark jr. And Robert Randolph play a double bill. And to make it perfect. Play it in a dump in Clarksdale.
boyst Posted May 22, 2017 Posted May 22, 2017 No idea who Gary clark Jr was before I saw him. Still don't know him. But a great show.

Chef Jim Posted May 22, 2017 Posted May 22, 2017 What are your thoughts on Dead and Company Someone posted on FB that John Mayer was God with regard to his work with D&C. My reply was if he was really a God re his musical ability wouldn't he be raking in the dough playing his own music vs playing Jerry's riffs?

My reply was if he was really a God re his musical ability wouldn't he be raking in the dough playing his own music vs playing Jerry's riffs? I wouldn't call John Mayer a god, but he is an excellent guitarist. His own music is a bit too "pop" for me, but I was really impressed with him when I saw D&C. He and Oteil were playing off of each other all through the show. Their chemistry with the rest of the band was great. And he's not playing Jerry's riffs - Bob Weir specifically said that they didn't want an imitator; they wanted someone who knew how to jam. That's why they picked Trey Anastasio for Fare Thee Well, and why they went with Mayer for D&C.
