...band closed out with the lead track from Cedars, “Almost the Same,” the only track of theirs to have a video, which the band is pleased to have seen on MTV2. They are optimistic about breaking into American music, and if this single is any sort of barometer, their chances look pretty good. Almost half the audience knew all the words to this insanely catchy tune, and the other half was no less into it. If anybody was new to Clearlake, it seemed like this song alone—at the end of this...
Trembling with genius and rich with remembrance, Trey Anastasio’s newest album bursts into uncharted territories. At just 29 minutes long, the lead singer of Phish’s brief fugue distinguishes itself from the group’s well-established jam-band essence and crafts a genre...

It could have been a lark, or it could have been the cover, one of the first of the psychedelic era, and I was fifteen. The five-man Steve Miller Band, with Moby Grape are still the only Hashbury era rock bands I can tolerate over repeated listenings. Miller broke up that band, in favor of a trio, at the musical instant when trios went totally out of fashion. He rode back into...
