Matt wrote this post when he was in the hospital in CCU on a vent.  It was still in draft format but he told me that he was going to post it.  The end was a bit muffled but I left it as is. I wish I had gotten to this a lot sooner than [...]

After a fun, banjo filled, bass thumping, rain pouring, mud stomping, and just a straight up hoe down weekend, I was forced into going to see some no named band called Phish. Honestly, I was not planning on going to see any Phish shows this summer. I am kind of over the whole Phishing thing [...]

Over the past two weeks I have gone to see the band Furthur five different times. I have seen them in New York four times at two different venues and one time in Philadelphia. Furthur consists of two original members of the Grateful Dead, Phil Lesh and Bob Weir, and they re-live the Grateful Dead [...]

What can I say, I absolutely LOVE Grateful Dead music. I cannot get enough of it.  I am constantly searching for more music to hear.  I think I will always need a fix of live Dead music every two weeks of my life.  I read about the new reincarnation of the Dead when I was [...]

Todd Sheaffer and Friends @ The Fountain House 02.13.2010 I have been back in the states for a month and two weeks.  I have been itching to go to a show.  My first show was going to be very important to me because I was just diagnosed with cancer.  I haven’t really done much since [...]

I knew that these were the last two shows I was going to see in the United States for a year. I had to make these two count the most. June 25th and the 26th. I would be going on a little mini tour of one of my favorite bands the Yonder Mountain String Band. [...]

I have been jonesing for some bluegrass since my Del Fest cut short and thank the lord that the Hot Buttered Rum boys booked a date close by in Jersey.  As soon as I saw that they announced this show I immediately purchased myself a ticket.  I saw these guys on the most recent NYE [...]

Thank god my friend Dan had an extra ticket to this show.  Thank god I got to see Phish more than once in 2009.  I wanted to go to those other 2 Jones Beach shows, but just could not make it.  So I took my friends extra ticket to the Camden show and I am [...]

I have had a  bittersweet feeling about Phish reuniting again ever since I heard the news of them getting back together.  Sweet because I will now again be able to see one of my favorite live bands of all time.  I will be able to go to the large venues that I miss because no [...]
