We wanted to do this tour since we played with the Dead in '95. They wanted us to keep touring with them, but we had already promised the Horde. This tour is the closest to doing that. We actually called them up over the winter and asked them to do the tour. This tour is more laid back than the Horde, it's not so business like.
Every show has jam sets with anyone who is on the bill.
Each night, someone goes to each band with three songs and asks if anyone knows any of the songs. If you do, you're elected to play. It's a blast. One can only wonder how a band keeps its sanity with all this touring. You got to give in, you can't fight it.
