Throwback Thursday | A Historical Look At H.O.R.D.E.
By Andy Kahn Jul 9, 2015 • 12:00 pm PDT
Tomorrow night the Horizons Of Rock Developing Everywhere (H.O.R.D.E.) tour will be resurrected for one night at DTE Energy Music Theatre in Clarkston, Michigan. H.O.R.D.E. co-founders Blues Traveler along with 311 and Big Head Todd and The Monsters make up the scarce 2015 edition of the seminal jam band touring festival. The historical significance of the original early 1990s H.O.R.D.E. tours was immense as it related to the growth of the jam band community between 1992 and 1998, and with tomorrow’s one-off event we thought we’d look back at a few memorable moments from H.O.R.D.E. Tours past.
Back in 1995 The Black Crowes welcomed members of Wilco along with Blues Traveler’s John Popper on stage to assist on a cover of Little Feat’s “Willin’.” Watch footage of a shirtless Chris Robinson leading the rousing rendition of the Lowell George classic:
Phish participated in a few stops of the 1993 H.O.R.D.E. Tour along with the likes of Aquarium Rescue Unit, Big Head Todd & the Monsters, Blues Traveler, The Samples and Widespread Panic.
