Hey Tyler! Not exactly, though I eventually hope to write something along the lines "An Indie Rock Fan's Guide to Jam Bands" or "What Indie Rock Bands Can Learn From Jam Bands."
Ah this is great. I always had a hard time connecting with the Dead and Phish but have been a huge fan of KGATLW and also really enjoy Goose so now I'm kind of moving in reverse. I will have to dig into those articles! Thank you!
It’s definitely a genre where the more you put into it, the more you get out of it. If there’s a song on one of the playlists you dig, rip a whole show. I bet it’ll click. Also, the Long Stranger Trip doc is a solid primer on Deadworld
Don’t consider myself a jam band fan, but I am a subscriber and I always find plenty of new tunes
I was at Saturday and Sunday in Chicago. No better place to be than at a Phish show. Glad you’re enjoying it. It never gets old.
Curious if you have ever done an intro to Grateful Dead (or jam bands) etc.
Thanks for the newsletter! Enjoy checking it out since I've found it!

My first essay on Sphere gets into a lot of the Grateful Dead's history and includes a playlist on some of my favorite live cuts available on streaming. https://www.noexpectations.fyi/p/dead-and-company-sphere-review-vegas-grateful
My Goose essay doesn't have a playlist of just their music, but it does explain their whole deal. https://www.noexpectations.fyi/p/seeing-goose-for-the-first-time-intro-jam
Also, while I wouldn't call them a "jam band" in the same way as Phish or Goose, my Deep Dive on King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard explains why they have clear-cut jam band tendencies and approach. https://www.noexpectations.fyi/p/king-gizzard-and-the-lizard-wizard-albums-ranked
Feel free to email or DM if you need guidance starting with any of them.
