Here’s a show from the Jammin Jed Luckless “Roll Over” Tour, which featured eleven dates at different venues across Secondlife in January and February of 2015 and highlighted original music off Jed’s forthcoming “Roll Over” CD.

This show took place at a new venue in SL, focused around a race track and racing community, but with an amazing stage reminiscent of Red Rocks, thus the name “Rock and Race” for this special stop on the tour. In addition to a beautiful stage and surroundings, the show featured a particle light show by Sky Fire. A great crowd came out for the concert, and the result was a high energy show full of great tunes, hot jams and good times.

Set I goes from zero to sixty with a “Maserati” opener followed by a turbo charged version of “The Race is On.” The tour’s title track “Roll Over” is next, with another couple Jed originals following it. A lengthy cover of the Grateful Dead’s “Eyes Of The World” features a jam tribute to Tangerine Dream, and leads to the set closing original (and JLB favorite) “Far Gone Blues.”

The second set isn’t quite as jammy, but features some great suprises and solid rockers, including several Jed originals, covers of the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin, and the set’s centerpiece, the Phish song “Twist” mashed up with The Monkees’ “Steeping Stone” and “Daydream Believer.”

Also included here is the soundcheck jam which featured synths and an abridged version of Phish’s CDT. Enjoy!

Here’s a very special show from the Jed Luckless archives, featuring a two set tribute to Dave Nolan, a friend, supporter and beloved personality in the scene who passed away at too young an age.

Jed opens the show without alot of talk, bursting right into an improv intro jam typical of the time period (when Jed was using a rhythm box during his “warm up” jams before sliding into the opener). The real opener is “The Music Never Stopped,” which perfectly kicks off the thematic tribute. First set features a lengthy “Sugaree,” nice mid-set renditions of “Mr. Charlie” and “Box Of Rain” and a powerful climax with a “Not Fade Away” > “Truckin” combo.

Second set starts out with a tribute to Dave Nolan as Jed tells us a little about the man and his impact on the scene, followed with a poignant version of “Standing On The Moon.” The centerpiece of the set is the “Samson And Delilah” paired with Drums & Space and the melancholy “Black Muddy River.” Jed keeps it going and wraps up the show with “Foolish Heart” and a nice long jammy “Bird Song” send off.

This is one of those shows with a special energy, and as always lots of grate tunes and jams from Jammin Jed. Enjoy!

Note: The encore at this show was a “Bertha” > “Ripple” combination that was unfortunately not recorded. Included here instead is an epic “Ripple” encore from June 2, 2010 at the same venue and a “Bertha” set closer from November 23, 2009 at The Merry Prankster.
