Lion said: Nice dude! You should def. check them out. This may be sacrilegious, but a couple of their songs have had subtle instrumental things that reminded me of the Dead, and I think their lead vocalist sometimes channels Jerry a little bit in his style.
they did an amazingly beautiful verssion of terrapin station on jerrys birthday a few years back
they def give a nod to the dead every now and then

Same with HBR. some of my favorites of the top of my head though? Dawns Early Light, Snow On the Pines, King Ebenezer, Holding, 2hits, Out of the Blue. Actually they performed out of the blue on craig ferguson a month ago.

I'm drawing a blank on who HBR is.

lol, they are on fire right now and playing tighter than they ever have. Cabin Fever tour has been sick so far from what I can tell. Totally making up for last year when adams girl was sick. Ben and Adam switched places in the lineup. Something about Adam not being able to hear himself over the banjo sometimes. I like how effortless he makes slaying the guitar look too. He closes his eyes most of the time...

oh yeah? I enjoy Railroad Earth, but I fancy HBR much more.
They don't sound as refined as Railroad Earth.

ok I just read some of the posts here.
I just wanna say after hearing a fuck-ton of live performances that bands have their "on" days and their "off" days.
so don't do this rre<yonder mountain. That's complete crap because while that may be true for the limitedly few times you saw them under some particular circumstances, it is definitely not true all the time.
Disco Biscuits is a band that I heard a bunch of time and I really believed they sucked ass. One day they blew my mind. The next time they blew it again. Same with Galactic, idk what the fuck they were doing before but I just wasn't listening to the same thing they were playing now.
I've heard bands that I follow have shitty nights too. I've accepted that people, just like bands, can have their down times.
Bottom line, stop the music smugness and come back to earth. If you have a sample size of 1 (n=1), then that is not enough. collect more data before you make a conclusion.

Apples and oranges really... RRE is just too girly for me, sorry I hurt your feelings and all ok? I didn't mean to get anyone all bent out of shape. Disco Biscuits are pretty good. Not really though. Unless you are watching from the moon. Which is always fun, no matter where you are.

yeah its all good music (not counting the biscuts )
and everyone has there own tastes
i def see what you maen about RRE being more girly. they are a much more earthy and spiritualy inclined bamd than yonder. wh is much more about straight up good time drunkin hoedowns.
i would say yonder may be a bit over manly for me
yonder just does not hit the same musical peaks. tho they can get pretty spacy and what not. its kinda jus tliek they are vamping around with some effects on. nothing really surprising
i will say that RRE has put on some soso shows that iv been to where nothign really erupts into any eic momentum
but shit when they start soaring its unreal.
i find it interesting that most all of RRE songs are wrighten down by oe of there managers, durring jam sessions, tod, the guitar dude. just kinda freestyles them out and commits none of them to memory. and over time, there manager wrights down what she "thinks" the lyrics are and the solidify it into a song for an album or whuthave you. some of RRE songs change drasticly over the course of the years. from lyrics to the song title. thats why alot of RRE earth lyrics cant be found anywhere
