I agree with that. I believe the difference between old and new school
jambands are that for the former, the song came first and was a portal for
musical improvisation. There was a passion for the art of song writing.
Being a huge Deadhead, I have tried very hard in the past to "get" Phish,
thinking I would find a new source of tunes. Unfortunately, because one must
get through the endless noodling and banal lyrics to get to the good parts,
it's ultimately unlistenable. Plus it never ROCKS.
