It&#8217;s basically like, 20% of the length of the playlist. But it&#8217;s worth it. <strong>Garcia Peoples<\/strong> is really turning heads out in the New York City jamband scene, so I haven&#8217;t gotten a chance to see them live yet. But when I drove into their latest LP, it seemed pretty clear as to why the band is getting some new attention.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;One Step Behind&#8221;\u00a0takes you on multiple journeys, with lyrics in places there should be and jams in other places there should be and everything unfolds nicely as the song progresses. It&#8217;s like 10 songs in one, and none of them need stand on their own. In short, it&#8217;s wildly impressive, and the payoff you get at minute 26:00 is some of the best guitar riff rock ever recorded if you ask me. Don&#8217;t just skip right there, you need it to build first.<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 42px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=4047907330\/size=small\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http:\/\/garciapeoplesbbib.bandcamp.com\/album\/one-step-behind\">One Step Behind by Garcia Peoples<\/a><\/iframe><br \/>\n<span id=\"21\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Amon Tobin &#8211; &#8220;One Shy Morning&#8221;<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-252084\" src=\"https:\/\/media.livemusicblog.com\/livemusicblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/amon-tobin-toplist-header-728x410.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"728\" height=\"410\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.livemusicblog.com\/livemusicblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/amon-tobin-toplist-header-728x410.png 728w, https:\/\/media.livemusicblog.com\/livemusicblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/amon-tobin-toplist-header-200x113.png 200w, https:\/\/media.livemusicblog.com\/livemusicblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/amon-tobin-toplist-header-696x392.png 696w, https:\/\/media.livemusicblog.com\/livemusicblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/amon-tobin-toplist-header-747x420.png 747w, https:\/\/media.livemusicblog.com\/livemusicblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/amon-tobin-toplist-header.png 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Not a lot of people talked about the return of <strong>Amon Tobin<\/strong> this year, maybe because it&#8217;s a tough gig to follow up the hugely ambitious <em>ISAM 2.0 <\/em>project that was the last time a national audience stood up a take notice.

I won&#8217;t give really anything else away about it, but the performance they show of <strong>Bob Dylan<\/strong> doing &#8220;Isis&#8221; really just stuck with me. I kept listening and listening to this version you&#8217;ll hear on the Spotify playlist, as the video below is not the same one (but close).<\/p>\n<p>As for the version in the film, here&#8217;s what someone else wrote about it and it perfectly captures what I may have tried to say: <span style=\"background-color: #ffff99;\">&#8220;It might be the single greatest <strong>Dylan<\/strong> performance ever captured on film, astonishing and electrifying.

Born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, Ward created the site as a personal outlet to explore music beyond his favorite band, Phish, following their announced breakup that year. What began as a modest blog evolved into a widely respected source for live music coverage, featuring concert reviews, festival news, and artist spotlights across genres like jam bands, indie rock, electronic, jazz, and more. Ward's passion for live music and his commitment to capturing the energy of performances helped establish a dedicated community of readers and contributors. Even after the site's acquisition by On Tap Publishing in 2025, Ward's influence remains evident in its continued focus on the live music experience and LMB's devotion to delivering high-quality articles and news to its readers.

Hard to top this band right now, and catch them while you have a chance before they're starting to play big theaters.\r\n\r\n<strong>Mark Speer<\/strong> - guitar\r\n<strong>Laura Lee<\/strong> - bass\r\n<strong>Donald \"DJ\" Johnson<\/strong> - drums\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.airkhruang.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.airkhruang.com\/<\/a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/khruangbin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Khruangbin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/khruangbin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/2mVVjNmdjXZZDvhgQWiakk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spotify<\/a>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/artist\/khruangbin\/478520598\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iTunes<\/a>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2Xdg7gv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>\r\n\r\n<em>The seeds of Khruangbin were sown when Mark and Laura were invited to tour with Ninja Tune's YPPAH supporting Bonobo across his 2010 American tour. The tour galvanised the two to start making music together more seriously, with DJ - he and Mark have played in the same gospel band for years - the natural choice for drums. Sharing their first recordings, Bonobo included Khruangbin's \u2018A Calf Born In Winter\u2019 on his 2013 Late Night Tales compilation. Subsequently signed to Late Night Tales offshoot Night Time Stories, \u2018A Calf Born In Winter\u2019 was released as a single in May 2014 and saw support from DJs Zane Lowe, Cerys Matthews, Tom Ravenscroft, Gideon Coe, Don Letts and magazines as musically diverse as i-D, The 405, Clash, Ransom Note, Test Pressing and For Folk\u2019s Sake. Four track EP \u2018The Infamous Bill\u2019 followed in October, with covers EP \u2018History Of Flight\u2019 on Record Store Day 2015. The band\u2019s debut album \u2018The Universe Smiles Upon You\u2019 was released in November 2015 to widespread acclaim. <\/em>\r\n\r\nCheck out all of our previous coverage of the band below...","parent":0,"count":57,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":11937,"name":"Lil Nas X","slug":"lil-nas-x","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":11966,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":18,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":10590,"name":"Lizzo","slug":"lizzo","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":10619,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":15,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":7968,"name":"Maribou State","slug":"maribou-state","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":8006,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":4,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":8001,"name":"Martin Scorsese","slug":"martin-scorsese","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":8039,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":5,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":8705,"name":"Moses Sumney","slug":"moses-sumney","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":8742,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":9,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":2264,"name":"Panda Bear","slug":"panda-bear","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":2284,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":50,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":1527,"name":"Phish","slug":"phish","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":1530,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":1350,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":3585,"name":"Skrillex","slug":"skrillex","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":3617,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":107,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":7185,"name":"Solange","slug":"solange","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":7223,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":22,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":7598,"name":"steve gunn","slug":"steve-gunn","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":7636,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":5,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":9049,"name":"Sturgill Simpson","slug":"sturgill-simpson","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":9086,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":19,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":2420,"name":"Thom Yorke","slug":"thom-yorke","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":2441,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":55,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":9601,"name":"Travis Scott","slug":"travis-scott","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":9630,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":16,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":1503,"name":"Trey Anastasio","slug":"trey-anastasio","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":1505,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":285,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":11861,"name":"Troyboi","slug":"troyboi","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":11890,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":5,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":8306,"name":"Tyler the Creator","slug":"tyler-the-creator","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":8344,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":16,"filter":"raw"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/livemusicblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/251892","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/livemusicblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/livemusicblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livemusicblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livemusicblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=251892"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/livemusicblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/251892\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livemusicblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/252176"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/livemusicblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=251892"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livemusicblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=251892"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livemusicblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=251892"},{"taxonomy":"department","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livemusicblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/department?post=251892"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
