	California Jam Revisited - Part 1: A History Lesson
		This was ultimately accomplished at the expense of the rich, unconstrained, natural improvisations that had made past festivals exciting for the festival goers and the media and precariously unstable for the promoters, the local townsfolk, and the police.
		The financial achievements of Cal Jam necessitated a sequel to the event; thus another Cal Jam was held in March of 1978.
		Cal Jam I and II were hybrid forms of the old rock festival phenomenon.

		The rise of "jam bands" -- loosely defined as bands that focus more on playing than on the personalities of the players or even the songs -- is an ever-growing yet under-the-radar phenomenon.
		It is also a welcome relief in a rock scene grown increasingly corporate on the one hand, and less and less interested in musical prowess on the other.
		While jam bands tend to be lumped together as some sort of sad echo of their spiritual forefathers, the Grateful Dead, three recent DVDs -- by the Allman Brothers Band, Gov't Mule and the String Cheese Incident -- show there's quite a lot of variation among jam bands.

	Looking back on the days of daring rock rebellion
		The festival, which started in 1991, is no longer groundbreaking, and it has a lot of competitors for its old cachet.
		Rock is full of mostly petty personal complaints, not the existential rage of the early 1990s; many rockers are looking inward.
		Two of the festival's most ferocious sets came from reunited bands formed in the 1980s: the Pixies, who have been touring steadily for a year, and the newly regrouped Dinosaur Jr.

	TIME.com: Rock and Radiohead in Tennessee -- Page 1
		California's Coachella, which was launched in 1999, has carved a niche as a haven for alternative and progressive artists with acts such as The Cure, The Crystal Method, Zero 7 and The Flaming Lips.
		Nabbing Radiohead for its only U.S. festival appearance was a coup for Bonnaroo, demonstrating that the festival, previously regarded as a backwoods Mecca for roots rock and hippie-tinged "jam bands,"has managed to shift its image and dent Coachella's reputation as the nation's coolest summer rock happening.
		In fact, both festivals, in addition to carryingWoodstock's counterculture DNA, share a vision of the rock festival as a 21st century tribal gathering that fills a gap left by other social institutions.

		Amazingly, the Triple Rock brewing system is now, 12 years later, considered "bronze-age" technology compared to what's now available, but it still produces clean, consistent and top quality beer (it's just a little more work for the brewers than those new-fangled "push button" brewing systems).
		When Triple Rock started it only had enough tankage to be able to serve a pale ale, a red ale and a porter, and sometimes a fourth specialty brew.
		It's amazing to think now, but the Rock was one of the first pubs in the US to offer beer in the now standard pint "mixing" glass.

	Great Performances . Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival . Guitar Evolution \| PBS
		In Nashville, Shot Jackson and Buddy Emmons, two lap steel guitarists, became frustrated with having to switch between necks to play their solos and installed a series of levers and cams to precisely stretch or loosen the strings on a single neck, thereby devising their own pedal steel guitar, the Sho-Bud.
		And in California, Les Paul, a guitarist who liked to tinker, found a way to harness the annoying tendency of electric guitars to feed back and make squealing noises by developing one with a solid body and pickups that fattened the instrument's sound, which made it even louder.
		A couple of these traditions made it into the Crossroads Guitar Festival, but to try to incorporate all of them would probably have extended the festival to the present and beyond.
