I'm a huge Spafford fan. I've seen Phish 200+ times and I still think Trey (and Phish) created a ton of composed music that I had thought was mostly lost in the death of Prog Rock and Zappa level compositions. Spafford (as a team) creates as exciting of compositions that I have ever heard and when they go into Jams, their ability to "hook up" or get into a true "in the zone" groove is amazing. Spafford is way more than a jam band. They write very very cool music, and instrumentals, and deep tracks, and drop great covers. Everyone should see Spafford when they are in town if you love great musicians.

Cam IS way better than Nick. Cam is one hell of a drummer. I'm pretty sure Brian wanted Cam gone because started getting more attention than him, and Cam wouldn't play worse so Brian could be the center of attention again. That's why Brain would lose his shit at Cam on stage... Brian felt like he was being upstaged by Cam.

First and foremost was the importance of how they were represented sonically in the room and recording, they are very particular about their sound for sure and it shows. Spafford certainly opened my eyes to the world of Jam music and I am thankful! Beautiful music and solid dudes. Try and see them live when they hit the road again after all this craziness.

Mike, Thanks for bringing to light groups and musicians that are reminiscent of the heyday of music. Mid late 60's thru early 80's. Beastie Boys in my opinion ushered in the end of music and lyrics. Just turned 63, my kids are discovering the magic contained within the analog of vinyl. Just passed along my collection to my daughter who can't believe what's she's been missing from digital versions like those from Fleetwood Mac. Thanks again.
