Trey Anastasio Debuts New Band, Bob Weir at the Blue Note

To help you chill out on this spring Saturday, here are links to a couple of very fine concerts.

First, Phish guitarist, Trey Anasatio, is nothing if not prolific. As well as leading Phish, he has his own horn-driven band and a trio. Yet now he's debuting a new band, Ghosts of the Forest, and releasing an eponymous album next week.

The group played their first show last night in Portland Maine. Jambands.com has a review of the show and have thoughtfully included links to a good quality audience recording of the show. I haven't listened to all of it yet, but what I've heard, I like.

Back in March, the Grateful Dead's Bob Weir played a gig at New York's legendary jazz club with his trio, Wolf Brothers. This group has Don Was (Was Not Was and more producer credits than I can count) on bass and Jay Lane from RatDog on drums. It was webcast by nugs.tv and is also up on YouTube.
Crank up the subwoofer for this one. It's good.
