doubleB Posted January 29, 2002 Report Share Posted January 29, 2002 These guys contacted me a few weeks ago.. they wanted to come play in Ottawa.I asked for a CD... buddy was supposed to send it... I still haven't got it. These guys are from Collingwood... north of Toronto.They expected some serious coin so I don't know if I will ever be able to get them to Ottawa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AD Posted January 29, 2002 Report Share Posted January 29, 2002 Illuminati (Joe Gallant's version) is a seventeen-piece orchestra that performs music of the Dead arranged by Gallant, as well as Gallant's own compositions. Check out page 134 of Dean Budnick's book "Jambands" for more info. You should also try and find some of this stuff on tape. It's very very good and interesting stuff.ad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gentlemonkey Posted January 29, 2002 Report Share Posted January 29, 2002 they certainly aren't worth 'a pretty penny' if not a single person on this board has heard of them. I guess they are using the ole, 'go in high' plan.. there are so many versions of that plan, for almost every situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted January 30, 2002 Report Share Posted January 30, 2002 You know AD, that is who I thought they were talking about until I read that this band is from Collingwood......That Joe Gallant shit is the shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
