The Great Outdoors Jam

You tube asked me if I was still listening. I wasn't.

The great thing about the user generated list is that nothing bad will happen if I don't listen to the whole album before I die. I was therefore able to listen to a bit, skip forward some, and repeat until it became clear that, although these may be talented musicians, a 75 minute live record of improvised psychedelic funk just isn't my jam (fnar, fnar).

Maybe they should have kept it with playing ping pong. This is just annoying.

3/10. It's not that it's really bad or anything, but I don't really need to hear hour-plus jam band albums before I die. And the Wikipedia article called these guys a funk jam band, but they just didn't feel that funky to me, a bit sterile even. I'm sure it'd be fun live. Having a Ghostbusters cover is fun for the first 5 minutes or so.

OK, jam bands aren't normally my thing, but I dug this. Really talented and I bet these guys are a blast to see live. Cool stuff.

Jam bands seem very masturbatory. The people involved seem to be very talented, but I don't think anyone needed an extended vamp on the Ghostbusters theme song, among other things.
