Just a heads up to anybody who saw Blackberry Smoke at Wanee and is craving some more. Chris Robinson Brotherhood is pretty good and jammy also

Thanks for the info!!! I will do Pompano

Can I see Blackberry Smoke, and leave CRB out of it?

Chris done stepped on his own dick recently. And I'm not feeling like shooting any $$ his way just now. But that's me.

Love Charlie and the rest of the BBS fellas. Great band, they did a fun set at Wanee this year.

At any rate, thanks for the heads up! I stuck it on my calendar

Just curious, what did Chris do and how hard did he step?

Why, it's all over the internet!

Two weeks ago, Chris was on the Howard Stern radio show, slagging on John Mayer, and the popularity of all the Grateful Dead tribute bands that are out there~

“The Grateful Dead has turned into this giant nipple that everyone sucks off to get money,” he continued. “I’m not a big John Mayer fan. Jerry Garcia is a hero of mine. Everything that Jerry ever talked about or stood for — John Mayer is the antithesis…. He knows all the licks, there’s nothing unusual about his playing. Jerry was one of the most unique musicians in the world. Jerry never played anyone else’s licks and now here’s John Mayer playing everyone else’s licks.”

It's especially galling, considering the fine cover of Hard to Handle put the Black Crowes on the map, and was an obvious nod to Pigpen / the Dead's version. And Chris / CRB has been involved in many Dead one-offs, including Phil & Friends last summer at Lock'n Fest. Chris sucks that very same teat, and has been doing so for over thirty years.

It's really bad form. Don't talk s#%t about your contemporaries. What's the easiest criticism ever? "Nobody else was like Jerry Garcia / Nobody will ever be Jerry!" YEAH WE KNOW. EVERYONE KNOWS THAT.

I might be considerate of that kind of view, if the fella saying such things were adding something new to jamband music. But CRB does not... it does straight 4/4 blues centered rock. Look at the P&F setlist from Lock'n (8/28/2016): Save for St. Stephen and The Wheel, it's all straight blues rock. That's what they can (erm) handle, and nothing more.

I think I see why Kate Hudson dumped his fuzzy ass.

Well that says it all, now I am in the know. Thanks for the update.

I still want to see Blackberry Smoke, and give them what they deserve!

Agreed on that!

A damn good band, and good guys as well, from what I've been told...

Since this is on a Friday night and just up the road I will be there. BBS was the headliner on a cruise I went on earlier this year, Ran into them a few times and they all seemed to be great.
