Moments Later Youtube was fired up and being searched hard.

I made up a play-list of a random selection of video’s by the artists & bands (I could find) that are playing.

Finding Les’s work was easy thanks to youtube’s Vevo service so there are a few Primus Video’s and some of his own as well. The other artists (Umphrey’s McGee, Yonder mountain string band, The new Mastersounds & Josh Phillips Folk Festival) seem to only have live recording’s available (on youtube anyway) so I’m going to have to dig a bit further for more on them and the others listed for the show.

One thing I did notice looking through all the search results is that all the bands seem to have one thing in common, they seem to be fond of guest appearances and jamming live. I wonder will there be much of that? here’s hoping anyway :)

In the meantime here is the playlist I built…

If anyone reading this is planning on making the trip, or has been to a previous Jam in the Dam, leave a comment below.
