Moe."You can’t really preemptively decide the course of any jam. You need to let the music determine where you’re going."

"All gains. We got to play in front of a crowd that enjoys live music. We got to be affiliated with legends of the jamband scene. We got pretty good catering. We got exposure to a lot of fans who have heard about moe. but had never seen them. And on top of that, I want to say that the Allman Brothers Band and family treated moe. great. They treated us better than an opening act."
"We thought we were done [with the new 2006 album], but were not. Were going back into the studio to adjust a few things, and well probably end up replacing a couple songs that we were originally going to put on there ... Sometimes its hard to get enough time [between the album and touring]. What we really need is a second band."
"Sometimes it might be difficult to be in the lobby of your hotel in your underwear without your glasses on. It also might be difficult to tell the women behind the counter that you think youre in the band moe., and you dont know where your room is. - Al on October, 5, 1996."
"It comes down to being comfortable enough onstage, and confident enough with our instruments, for our personality to come through."
"[moe.] is an amalgamation of a wide variety of the history of rock, all regurgitated and recycled through the eyes, ears, hands, whatever of the guys in our band and all of that with a sense of adventure, a sense of humor, also a constant desire to push the envelope. All in this arena of taking chances, improvising live, and making things up on the spot."
