Barber was clearly on another level this evening. His playing is so precise and articulate, every solo thoughtful and well played, shit's great.

[@BootsORiley]

well said.

[@Peter-em7wl]

Clean super clean . You can tell he is good then! No effects to hide behind . Really tasty phrasing and dynamic , smooth rhythm playing too

Sammy showed up at Bisco and played last year wit them it was so fire

[@briancullen9575]

My second tDB show and my first with Marc. This was the night I found a new favorite band for a few years. I miss Sammy.

[@nestanesta9366]

Was there, taping, smoking everyone up with the Sniffa!. Insane. So fun!

[@BootsORiley]

nice!

[@brycepunk1]

My first show, though I only heard them from the campgrounds. Blew me the fuck away. Became addicted to the bisco-crack for years after this moment. Can't believe there's such a high quality video of my first show that I never actually saw. Thank you!

[@jodyroberts1008]

Gotta love the OL'School shows with Sammy!! What a beast on the drums. I have not seen this, thank you!! More 2001 is always nice to see if you have more.

[@jeffreywatkins8770]

Was at this festival... Vibe Tribe 2001! I remember Les came on right before the Biscuits. First time I saw him, wow!

Jeez this whole time I thought claypool played after them. I was spun off those spideys

Claypool did come on after

Barber is one of the greatest guitar players. #barbershreds

[@BootsORiley]

wholeheartedly agreed. certainly one of the most unique players to ever pick up the instrument

[@uberhandle42]

@@Poppityy No and no. I mean, saying he is one of the greatest guitar players is just...I don't know, please go listen to more music. He is not the greatest of all time by any stretch. Sorry, dude. Although he's not even among the top with regards to technical skill, is he my favorite guitar player? Yeah, Probably. Why? Incredibly creative, and smart on the ax. He compliments his band members very well and his playing is inspiring and evokes tons of emotion.

[@uberhandle42]

@@Poppityy lol, nothing new here...I have heard these criticisms for years and years...and they're not wrong. The thing with Barber is that he's inconsistent, sometimes (or often) he just goes way left. That is when you will find more of the flubby noodling and errant timing. That being said, there are times that barber doesnt go left...times where he perfectly accentuates what the other three are doing. He's not missing cues, he sits back and is patient and calculated in his approach. His tone has sucked at times - I much prefer his sound on the gibson - sorry so long

[@FuxkyouU-j3n]

uberhandle42 9/9/16 is on KZbin. On set 2, the morph Dusseldorf jam into above the waves is a great example of barber being an awesome guitar player

[@uberhandle42]

@@FuxkyouU-j3n I am not very familiar with any biscuits stuff after 2010...stopped seeing them that year (personal reasons) That beuing said, I can proudly spew off 50 moments where barber absolutely shredded my world apart from previous years...some of said moments are over 20 years old and I still havent forgotten them

[@briancullen9575]

My first show was Triscuits. I thought they were good but clearly missing something that took them to another level. This show slayed me. Easily the best set of the festival.

[@TheQBandNY]

Yessssss!!! My first biscuits show. So awesome.

[@mikebennett7201]

Thanks for posting this. My first show from my favorite band. All i remember from this weekend is Biscuits, spiderman acid and rain. I knew 4 songs and they played all of them Waves,munchkin,7 11 and basis. Saw 18 shows in 2002 and now over 145 total. Cant wait for Portland next month

[@mikehadden8509]

those Portland shows were great huh

[@HGZMO]

The most important band..... relex article? ...or something I read off net the same year about the band during a break. Been trying to find this article and it is not exactly the easiest thing to fund. Talks about E and the early days etc. Compared dead sid test to tdb earliest days

We're so excited for tomorrow night's collaboration of The Disco Biscuits with Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann, that we dug up this never before seen video of The Disco Biscuits performing live, back on the farm (Red Hook, NY) in 2001. What songs would you include in your dream set list… Let us know, comment below and tag your friends! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWjZZmRpg7Nlhrc

That guy Barber got the stuffing beat out him by those drummers 5th rate guitar work When is that guy going to play a lead

[@BootsORiley]

thanks for finding this in the archives and upping it for the fans. 5 years later, and we're still giving it many plays

[@Gumbo72203]

Holy shit, that 7-11 -> Basis Ending was fucking HEAT!!!! They totally cut that peak super short, though. When Barber goes for that Trey-esque bent note peak moment, right before he pulls the Basis jam-end lick out, that section could have totally been pushed another 4-8 measures or so for extra juicing.

[@jimreplicant]

Crazy how many people first saw bisco at this show, I was one of them. Me and my girl went to see les claypool and had no idea we’d be leaving huge fans of these guys! I miss those days we’d both just look at eachother and say “the tent” and she’d run to our tent and i’d chase her🤣

[@plawp69]

The bends at 22:18 are pure expression. He's singing. Young Barber was the goat.

[@vkmetz]

There's so little of 2001 that's not worthwhile...just listen to this rapturous Waves jam in the 13:00 - 17:00 margin...there was truly an "easter egg" within the center of the individual songs or bridging themes in that era

[@slump_nuggie]

You can still hear glimpses of this time still to this day in 2022. I actually think this summers tour was one of their best in years. I just can't stand when they go into that repetitive house trance vibe for like 10+ minutes at a time. It all sounds the same and it's derivative asf. They just need to stick to the jams. They have the chops. I don't know why they decided to go so far into the house techno shit. It feels like they are going back to their roots some this year at least. More jam less techno.
