Read "Phish at Madison Square Garden" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

Phish Madison Square Garden New York, NY December 31, 2013 Above and beyond the secret language of their community, Phish have long been masters at making statements without coming right out and saying what they mean, largely because of the mutual faith long ago instituted between the band and their fans. ...

Read "Moondance Expanded" reviewed by Doug Collette

The Rides: Can't Get Enough

Read "Can't Get Enough" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

Originally the result of a creative spark generated between guitarist/vocalist/composer Stephen Stills and keyboardist/vocalist/composer Barry Goldberg, who already shared some history as collaborators on the famous Super Session album (Columbia, 1968) the dynamic solidified dramatically with the introduction of guitarist/vocalist/composer Kenny Wayne Shepherd into the mix.
