moe. Throws Down With Guests In Jamaica

Upstate New York jam stalwarts moe. are in the middle of this year’s Tropical Throe.down event in Negril, Jamaica; where they’ve been treating devoted fans to sets filled with heavy hitters, bust outs and guest spots since its start on Friday.

Friday’s opening two sets, which took place on guitarist Al Schnier’s birthday, featured the Conehead Buddha’s horns helping ut on “Annihilation Blues,” “Nebraska,” “Tenth Avenue Freeze Out,” “Akimbo” and “Late In The Evening.” On Saturday, the horns returned for a number of tunes including covers of “Spanish Moon” and “The Wizard.” Yesterday, moe. played a rare acoustic set that saw the return of “That Country Tune” and “One Way Out.” Last night’s action came to a close with two beefy electric sets that featured Terry Lynch lending a hand on a lengthy “Time Ed.”
