Grateful Phish-mas with Dead Ahead Ohio/Powerful Pills

If there’s one thing I’ve learned, nothing clears the mental detritus of a long day spent with extended family more effectively than a 20-minute “Tweezer.” Blessedly, this year, we’ll get the chance to catch one live. Grateful Phish-mas pairs two of Cleveland’s tributes to jam band giants for a night of heady space and cow funk. If you know, you know. But if you haven’t jumped on the bus, tonight is a terrific way to get into the greats and cap a fine, fine Christmas among good friends. Bring leftover cookies from your grandma’s house, avoid the brown acid and have a hell of a good time. Who’s got my extra? (Eric Sandy)
