Songs Of Their Own - #28 "Playing In The Band" Max Creek

[@richkunkiewicz1357]

Some of my favorite Creek shows were at the Agora Ballroom in Hartford. Some serious freaking good times !!!! God Bless Max Creek and the Grateful Dead 👍👍

[@genesiegel2884]

Yeah! Rock it!!❤

[@JoshDone]

This is incredible.

[@larrytomenga1312]

Awesome performance. Great fun. Thanks Jambase & Telefunken!

[@ChunderDTD]

One of two songs from the series that I come back to over and over and over again. These guys are absolute masters of “space.” The singing may be a little rough around the edges but who listens to jam bands for the perfect singing (see The Grateful Dead and Phish for example). What a superb rendition of a Dead workhorse!

[@guywoodhouse4684]

au contraire...the GD have great vocals...phish just sucks and should never be mentioned in the same breath as GD. phish copied these guys.

[@brianthompson3165]

This is awesome. Three old heads and two kids. Love it

[@kwyjibo2112]

2 of the best bands ever! Creek and the Dead!!

[@muskratflats]

Creek never disappoints! Stellar.

[@markkindermannart4028]

I used to see Max Creek a lot in Boston in the early 80s... such good shows and great fun!

[@rowemiller7590]

Very nicely done

[@rowemiller7590]

9min in....goddamn, so sweet

[@loredebois]

Perfect for my evening unwind.

[@MrJoshDoty]

Excellent!

[@JonathanReisbaum]

5 Stars. Scott has been playing Grateful Dead for 40+ years - amnd he's damn good at it. Kudos to Scott and the guys for keeping the jam alive!

[@gpclay]

+Jonathan Reisbaum Not surprising that they were one of the acts that totally brought the Dead jam vibe into this project! Love all of the original acts but also love the reference to a total Dead show jam! Well done!

[@bobertramirez6456]

The percussionist adds so much depth.

[@dave21286]

On fire!

[@cornfedz]

Solid! GREAT jam, good singing. Thanks!

[@Drumma75]

Creek has been laying down Dead tunes proper for decades. One of my favorites was the free show they did a day or two after Jerry passed. So healing!

[@spamjam6298]

in new britain ct. the shrooms where strong that day

[@gagaface26]

That percussion during space was fucking insanity. At one point he was just spinning a squeaky cymbal...slowly. Mesmerizing.

[@tunedintv545]

Awesome! Love me some Creek!

[@Squirrelconga]

So very good! Oh my gosh

[@Booche]

This is effin' fantastic

[@1kroz1]

Fantastic.

[@jgwilson5]

very nice indeed. Love it!

[@tonymasiellovids]

Very nice!

[@ErnestLemmingway]

holy smokes boys i felt this one. i'm a fan now for sure

[@mikecarter8764]

Very cool!

[@bluenote335]

For the two people that thumbed down this jam, just what the fuck where you expecting?

[@Skeets37]

Awesome!! :)

[@dennisbrooks8566]

Memories of Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel .

[@widead1840]

Sweet.

[@tonybero]

this is a pretty fucking great jam. hallelujah. holy shit.

[@eliyahuberkowitz2812]

Wow! They even got space right! It wasn't just noise.

[@wingman5724]

lol

[@hoooboooy]

Great Jam! 1st saw these guys long ago as a youngster sneaking into the Shaboo Inn. They still bring it ;)

[@Uniquemand]

I love these guys. Wondering if anyone has a link to the album "Windows". Can't find it on youtube or vimeo! I have a physical copy of the album, but I want to share the sound with distant friends. Dying to listen to "Band from Chicago".

[@dollarrecordswithjosh795]

Max Creek are an institution and don't get nearly the credit they deserve.

[@b00mk1n]

Absolutely, people have never heard of them on the west coast and I'm kind of speechless. MC is so good!

[@markkindermannart4028]

Agree!!

[@TK-fk4po]

Is that Mike Gordon’s guitar player??

[@edmunddevillers9776]

Can you not discredit Scott like that? His band Max Creek is better than phish

[@TK-fk4po]

Edmund DeVillers Nah. They’re ok but boring.

[@tonybero]

yeah. i'm just going to say holy shit one more time. this is amazing.

[@ORDER4STU]

damn! nice!

[@almiller989]

Was that a Joker and the Thief tease in there at 14:30...? Awesome job!

[@lizrussell5362]

fucking rocks!!

[@jantinucci]

supper cool! (albeit they so need us in that room doing this. Just look at their eyes... they must be saying, "where the fuck are the Creek Freaks?!?!?"....... Just sayin' But beautiful to know that they did this.) But that night was freakin' awesome when they DID let us in. A memory to last for me....

[@buttsmcbutts5190]

The boys rock.

[@jonpavao5083]

Psst I just … well off to Foxwoods .

[@sunnyvaletrailer]

It's not made clear here, but the "Bob" referred to at the beginning of the video is not Bob Weir, but rather Bob Gosselin, Creek's first drummer.

[@scooberdoober2826]

wonder if thats an ibanez artist hes playing??? its gorgeous!

[@MrJoshDoty]

Scoober Doober woot woot ! MC350, 1982 model year, but made in 1981. About as rare as a Space Shuttle.

[@2rockergurl]

DIG IT..

[@mikemas91]

Bernie Sanders on keys

[@timlazar2821]

The music is incredible but this guy can't sing to save his life.

[@connorboushell2295]

+Tim Lazar Are you talking about the Grateful Dead? :)

[@timlazar2821]

+Connor Boushell of course not, I'm talking about the singer for Max Creek.

[@connorboushell2295]

It was a joke. Sorry. Huge Deadhead here, but I love it when people say they like covers of GD songs but hate the vocals...go back and listen to the tapes. The Dead vocals are embarrassingly bad and were frequently mocked by non (delusional) Deadheads.

[@timlazar2821]

Connor Boushell I actually liked a lot of the vocal harmonies. Uncle John's Band, for example. pathfinder55 explorer I don't play baseball, but I can still recognize a bad defensive play when I see one.

[@gagaface26]

Tim Lazar I agree, haha. I was floored by the musical ability of the guitarist, not at all impressed with the vocals. I’ve seen their keyboardist play with a band i frequent locally, Desert Rain, and it was the same story. Poor vocals but absolutely insane playing. I don’t mind all too much, it’s the music that matters.
