From www.galacticfunk.com:


Galactic
We wanted to let everyone know that Rich Vogel (keys) is now out of the hospital. He came down with a severe throat infection in New York which caused him to have to be hospitalized for five days. Once again we are sorry that we had to cancel the dates and for any inconvenience caused, but we are happy that Rich is on his way to a full recovery. The tour schedule will proceed as planned beginning in Birmingham on February 15.


SHOWS THROUGH 2/14 ARE CANCELLED

We regret to announce that due to a continued illness Galactic has been forced to cancel a few more shows on this tour. The band currently plans to pick up the touring schedule in Birmingham, Alabama on February 15 and continue onto Mobile before the Mardi Gras shows at Tipitina's in New Orleans. We apologize for any inconvenience and the band hopes to make it back to all of these areas as soon as scheduling will allow. All refunds for tickets will be made at the point of purchase.

I wouldn't be suprised if Ellman is the one who is sick and can't play. Last Saturday's show at irving plaza was money, but he deferred to Rich on a lot of the extended solos and Skerik was also on stage playing a ton. Probably just a cold or something, I saw him after the show in a huge black parka that would keep you warm during a nuclear winter.

yeah, kllrfn, why expend your energy posting a negative message to a list that you have no interest in? I'm continually dumbfounded that people like you get some kind of joy out of harshing on others. what's your point, really? jackass.

this was really disappointing. i didn't check jambase all day, drove down to boston to meet my buddy, and saw the show was cancelled. lucky, peter prince was playing right next door, so we saw him, good show.

for any haters out there, Galactic Rock. That's all i have to say. They sound like no other and they do their own thing. They just jam! Long live Galactic and Long live New Orleans. Peace.

I've seen them and I couldn't care less. With so many GOOD bands out there why do people listen to this crap. I just group them together with cheese & panic and stay the hell away.

Oh...and another thing...not that I'm that into Rush but, when will Umphree's stop ripping them off and play something original? They seem like they have talent but, I've heard it all before.

^why do people just stir the pot? if you don't like it fine. you are allowed to state your opinion, but why bring all the negativity for no reason. if its obvious that someone really likes something, why bring them down, tell someone else, so we can all enjoy in peace.

Thanks Badphish419, your comments are really helpful to all of us. I'm not really sure how I can call the sick feeling you get from seeing others feel bad 'joy', but I'll try my best here. Badphish419, could you go spread your joy somewhere else? I'm trying to think of what would be a good, hateful place for you. Perhaps you should go to people's funerals and tell the family what a terrible life the deceased led, and bring up all the negative points of their life. I think that's right up your alley @$$hole.

This is obviously a case of rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu. I was there Friday and Saturday at Irving and I think I caught it too. But I went to the family doctor and he said all I really need is good lovin'. So here's sending some of that good lovin' down Galactic's way. See you at Langerado.

Galactic played one of my top 3 shows of all time at Bonnaroo in 2005 with the Krewe de Karnivale; if any of you haters were there I guarantee you wouldn't have one bad thing to say except that they kept you up dancin way past your bedtime.

your right forumjibber, that bonnaroo set was disgusting. One of the highlights of the festival for sure. I cant wait to catch them in Ohio, its gonna be sick. To the a-holes spittin hate, if you dont have anything nice to say then blow it out your ass. go post your negativity somewhere else

Any word on when they'll cancel the rest of the tour. Just wondering because their "music" makes me ill.

Hey kllrfn why dont you and jambandsSuck get together and explore your shared negativity.......maybe then u can figure out what it means to "care"!!! but in the meantime do US ALL a favor and engage in your cynical affair SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!!

Get Well Galactic!

My favorite was Bonnaroo 2002...the late night set. Unreal, people just walking up on stage at all times to guest, basically a long ass funkedified super jam. They played till almost 5am. What a night.

Get well soon which ever band member it is....lets hope this brief break will not put a dent in the emergence of Jeff Raines.

And if you really don't care, why are you reading/posting comments on an article called "Galactic Cancels Gigs". Find another hobby.

Hopefully I'll get to see them live sometime when they get well. :) I finally find out what the fuss is all about thanks to the miracle of OnDemand, and have to work both nights of Atlanta. So I feel the pain. Hope they get well soon!
