"What's it all about?" "It" being the whole jam band thing, I guess. Here's as good a place to start as any. A primer for a friend looking for an "in," perhaps. And though I could certainly do a few more lists like these to get everyone in I feel should be represented, I'm calling this JAM BAND 101. Enjoy (^_^)

Because it’s always fun – ALL COVERS!!! Phish’s “Exile On Main Street” Halloween Masquerade from 10/31/09 was the original inspiration, then Jimmy Fallon announced Rolling Stones week.
