I have seen the Phish hot dog from New Year’s Eve 1994 in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame but I had no expectation that I would ever see it anywhere else. The triumphant return of the Dog at MSG in 2010 left ths vegeterian altogether satisfied.

My NYE was spent with Furthur and after three sets of music, a New Year’s Eve parade, the tallest Father Time on record (Bill Walton) and memorable musical moments aplenty, I was spent…

I traveled to Nashville to see Old Crow Medicine Show at the Ryman Auditorium for NYE. It was amazing! Not anything like the large arena New Years i’ve grown accustomed to seeing Phish and Panic, but rather the most intimate of shows at America’s oldest music temple. Old Crow made it a special night by playing a vast amount of new material yet to be heard by anyone for their triumphant return to the states after a long European run. It was also a nostalgic night, as the band brought back their old buddy and original member Critter for most of the show. You couldn’t help but feel the musical gods smiling down upon you!

Met up with the Toast team in Chicago for 3 amazing nights with Umphreys McGee. The High Fives were free & flowing all run long…Couldn’t have asked for a better time. Riviera was a classic old theater filled with plenty of satisfied Rock N Roll customers. The band capped what was an amazing 2010 for them with 3 top notch performances that really displayed the bands uncanny range of music/tunes & the amazing talents of all its members. Maralize Leguana 2011!!

We spent our 5th NYE with Gov’t Mule. As always, the guys rocked. We heard the best version of Thorazine Shuffle so far, and I almost cartwheeled down the stairs when they broke out into ‘Yer Blues.’ Met some cool peeps and high fived throughout. Also ate the best pizza ever at 3:30 am. Happy Mule Year! Toast!
