How The Pros Hit The High Note
Tue Apr 17, 2012
On the eve of releasing What Happened to the LaLas, the tenth studio album from jam band champions moe. percussionist Jim Loughlin sat down with HIGH TIMES to discuss what it’s like playing stoned during a gig, and gives a shout out to his favorite Dutch coffee shop.
Interview by Jen BernsteinPhotos by Mike HughesYour roots are in improvisational music – and moe. is well known as a jam band. Do you like to go off on tangents?
It’s weird because it’s not a freeform situation and people think it is. There is a form in which we improvise. I don’t look at it the same way as jazz. It’s rock ‘n’ roll. There are sections that are free, but surrounded by form.
We write and play songs for a year [before recording them] and they tend to get long. Really long. Parts are repeated. It …READ MORE

After a few days of exploring Amsterdam, too many coffee shops and a couple museums... we were finally treated to the music we traveled across the ocean for: five US jam bands, each taking one of two stages to rock the Melkweg for three consecutive nights as part of Jam in the Dam.
And jam they did. Lotus opened the festival on the Max Hall stage in the big room as fans filtered in and greeted one another with high-fives, hugs, and kisses on both cheeks. Electronica and deep bass waves combined with wafts of smoke openly filled the air while the relaxed and chill opening night vibes spilled out into the Melkweg café – a popular eatery attached to the venue and run by Mary Jo from Wisconsin. Plenty were already in the mood to start to groove.
Meanwhile during Lotus's set, Keller Williams took the Old Hall stage in the smaller, more intimately-sized room by …READ MORE

The Apollo Project at World Financial Center, Winter Garden
Sat Jan 7, 2012
By Jen Bernstein
The 2012 New York Guitar Festival kicked off Friday evening at the Winter Garden Atrium in the World Financial Center by celebrating 30 years of Brian Eno's album, Apollo: Atmosphere and Soundtracks. The Apollo Project featured an all-star lineup - Mike Gordon (bass) Larry Campbell (guitar) David Torn, Noveller, Jeff Parker and ambient ensemble itsnotyouitsme - playing the album LIVE for the first time ever.
A tribute to NASA's Moon landings, Eno's album imagines very ethereal, peaceful-yet-haunting, moving, and spacey (literally!) sounds and soundscapes. Eno wanted the music to induce a feeling of “weightlessness,” and so there's no way a note-for-note replication of these highly complicated tracks could be created. Though, if any band could come close …READ MORE

Seven years after their last show in Vermont, the band returns for a purpose.
By Jen BernsteinPhotos by Dave VannIn early September, Phish was wrapping up their tour in Denver, Colorado, as news broke that hundred-year-old bridges, entire towns, and highways in the Northeast were washing away in the aftermath of Hurricane Irene. Particularly hard-hit was the state of Vermont, where Phish formed back in 1983 while attending the University of Vermont.
Vermont wasn’t far from their minds as Phish opened their three-night Labor Day run on September 3rd, with an entire show of “S”-titled songs. Crafting the set list that night, the band was already deep in talks with Vermont’s Governor Peter Shumlin, friends at home, and their own production crew about the possibility of holding a benefit. Phish decided on the Essex Fairgrounds in Champlain …READ MORE

There was a huge party this past weekend in Detroit, and if you got yourself down to the warehouse at 140 Clark St. you would've danced your ass off to Mr. P-FUNK himself, George Clinton. Yeah, that's right. HIGH TIMES hosted a VIP party as part of our first-ever HIGH TIMES Medical Cannabis Cup in Detroit with George, 420 Funk Mob, and don't forget...Royce da 5'9" was headlining. Royce kicked out some mad verses on stage – which you should check out below in my vids – and don't miss the ones of Dr. Funkenstein sitting in with 420 Funk Mob.

Homegrown Phish Returns to Vermont
Thu Sep 15, 2011
HIGH TIMES Magazine represented at the PHISH Benefit for Vermont Flood Recovery in the Green Mountain State. (Note: Vermont is one of 16 states – and the District of Columbia – to have approved marijuana for medicinal use. We strongly stand behind Vermont and its legal initiatives for growers, caregivers and patients' rights to medical cannabis.) Proceeds from the concert and merchandise sales were donated directly to The WaterWheel Foundation and The Vermont Community Foundation and will be used to assist those impacted by Hurricane Irene.
While on assignment for an upcoming article about Phish for the February 2012 issue, HIGH TIMES Managing Editor Jen Bernstein captured video (see below) of Phish bassist Mike Gordon introducing Vermont Governor Peter Shumlin to the crowd of 12,000 at Champlain Valley Exposition in Essex Junction, VT.

We Roll with Dave Matthews Band
Thu Sep 1, 2011
Photos by Erick Anderson
Dave Matthews fans came to Governor’s Island last Friday expecting to party -- and got their wish with a full day of Caravan sets despite the unpredictable and impending weather of Hurricane Irene, which hit New York City over the planned festival days of Saturday and Sunday. Even with these two days cancelled, the Caravan still rocked the entire day with the help of Soulive, OAR, Citizen Cope, and the headlining act, Dave Matthews.
How did the Dave’s concert-goers prepare for the unknown scene of Irene? By persevering and packing up their double-bagged stashes and boarding the short ferry ride (which had an adequate search and didn’t allow edibles, I mean, food). A quick shout out to the DMB Caravan folks for allowing Sat/Sun ticketholders the chance to attend on Friday, and promising a rain date …READ MORE

It's been sixteen years since our community of hippies, stoners, and peace-loving pranksters lost the beloved Jerry Garcia (who passed away on August 9, 1995) – an otherworldly guitarist whose penchant for meandering, yet poignant jams wove their way into a collective heart to create a movement which we celebrate this day.
As the leader of the Bay Area-based Grateful Dead, Garcia and fellow band mates fueled and supported the new psychedelic explorations of the 1960's – embodying the against the grain mentality of the era. Even in his earliest years, busking in a Haight jug band, or “turning people on” at the Acid Tests with The Warlocks, Jerry Garcia embraced “living a simple, uncluttered life,” one that supported personal freedom. Here at HIGH TIMES we stand for the same ideal – and continue to defend the rights and protect the causes of the individual. That's how we choose to honor Jerry's spirit – and by …READ MORE

John Butler Trio, Terminal 5, New York City, NY
Mon Aug 1, 2011
With spacey guitar finger work, John Butler Trio eased the crowd in with "One Way Road" the first single off the band's most recent studio album (April Uprising, 2010) to open their second night at Terminal 5 in New York City.
Alternating between slide and his own unique style of finger-picking on his 17 and 18-stringed guitars, Butler, also the lead vocalist for the band, cruised into the anthem-like (to HIGH TIMES listeners, perhaps) tune, "Used to Get High" and offered up quick-paced pop verses, strong guitar scatting, and plenty of participation from the audience.
Butler made a point early in the set acknowledging the indigenous people and ancestral lands on which they stood - and were visiting …READ MORE
