One thing I’ve seen common at a lot of festival lineups, is a superjam of some sorts. I’d like to see your opinion on who you’d ensemble for a superjam in the drug band world. Maybe a better way to ask this is, who’s considered the best at what they do?

just throw all living musicians into the fray, then they just come up and down like hockey players on a line change.
musically, they just play television show theme songs

Trey, Magner, Claypool, and someone like Billy Martin would be a ton of fun

Someone ask ChatGPT
Having read my OP, I’m realizing that it’s hard to really think of this. I could come up with who I’d like to be in a superband, but it’s always going to be a clash of styles. Could Myers play with Trey? Could Jimmy Herring play with Brownie? I love both Joel and Magner, but they’re 2 totally different styles.
Lead vocals - Andy Frasco
Lead guitar - Mihali
Rhythm guitar - Scrambled Greg
Keys - Peter Goose
Bass - Ryan Stasik
Drums - Mickey Hart

I feel like a lot of the time in the jamband world you really only have a few guys who really stand out as being the creative minds and then a lot of guys who were lucky that they knew those guys
You also have a lot of very high people with bad taste

Can’t remember if this was considered Phil and Phriends but it was a fun one.
Edit: For the love of everything, bring back The Duo.

TBH, I tried to come up with a superjam that would tickle my untz/dance fancy, and I conceded that tDB is that superjam, with maybe Myers also on drums.
Real answer might be…
Guitar - @cshore
Bass - Victor Wooten
Drums - Kris Myers
Percussion - Mike Dillon
no vocals
Not sure about keys. Maybe John Medeski?
He is probably the “best”
These are the two things that come to mind when I think of drugband super jams

I have a DVD of Claypool’s Fancy band, and Dillon is doing what I can best describe as using a cloth to make squeaky sounds out of a bowl. I got to find more with him in it. He has a lot of violent energy back there.
Magz or Jamie Shields.
