If you’ve ever searched for a live concert DVD on Amazon you’ve probably noticed how unintuitive the interface has become. We’re glad that Amazon offers 28 billion products, but sometimes we just want to find the new Iron Maiden DVD quickly. Our friends at Jamtopia just unveiled a Live Concert DVD Finder that makes the process quick and painless.

As always we’ve got a batch of links to help you over the hump:

• This year’s VH-’s Rock Honors will celebrate the music of The Who
• 311 bassist P-Nut dishes to Benji Eisen about his drug usage
• We’ve gotta disagree with Greg Kot about The Raconteurs’ new album
• Al Green reveals the details about his ?uestlove-co-produced record
• The Mirror lists the Top Ten Weirdest Rock and Roll Deaths
• First there was KVHW, then KVMW and now welcome KVMWS
• The Smashing Pumpkins are suing Virgin Records for breach-of-contract
• Danny Federici surprises Bruce Springsteen with a return to the stage

Finally, Snoop Dogg, !!!, and Lotus are among a diverse group of performers the Disco Biscuits have tapped to play at Camp Bisco VII on July 17 - 19 in Mariaville, New York. HT Contributor Nate had the line of the day when he said: “I’d love to travel back in time 15 years and tell Snoop that he’d be playing Jamband festivals in 2008. He’d probably cap my ass.” Let’s hope Snoop records his experience for Fatherhood.

We’re proud to announce that Rupert of The Ghosts of Wayne Fontes has joined Hidden Track as a full-time contributor. Let’s celebrate this glorious occasion by debuting one of his new columns…

Today marks the birthday of a new brainchild here at Hidden Track. This is the inaugural edition of Bust Outs, a recurring segment dedicated to the finest surprises thrown down by our favorite bands. The idea is to highlight some of the special moments that blow your mind in the live setting, be it a setlist rarity, a stellar cover selection or a back-from-retirement resurgence.

Phish - 2/28/2003 - Destiny Unbound

Obviously, the inaugural episode would be utterly remiss, and not nearly cliché enough for us, if it didn’t include the ‘03 Destiny Unbound bust out. The lucky Long Islanders at the Uniondale show were treated to one of the most sought-after bust outs in all of Phish history. Hearing Destiny became huge. It was THE song that had to come out of retirement. It became bigger than any old favorite, bigger than a giant black boner, bigger than even bringing back Halley’s or Boogie On. Destiny was everyone’s dream bust out. Well, they just did it one night in 2003…randomly. It was monumental, if not a little anti-climactic. Nevertheless, they busted it out and played it well, which is always the worry with a big bust out. What’s the point of packing the heat if you don’t know how to use it?

Read on for several more prized bust outs from the road…

Over the years there has been one constant in rock and roll: terrible band names.

Hell, one of my faves, Umphrey’s McGee, has one of the worst band names ever. The tie that binds this week’s Grousing entries together is the lack of an interesting moniker. Some of these bands didn’t even try and just used the name of the player(s). But while KVMW, The Ryan Montbleau Band, Apollo Sunshine, and BAD II suffer from uncreative naming, their music absolutely blows my mind.

Kimock, Vega, Molo, and White 03/17/07 (FLAC, 320kbps MP3):

Steve Kimock, Bobby Vega, Alan Hertz, and Ray White did a few tours in 1998 and 1999 as the creatively titled KVHW. The band mostly played unique versions of Kimock and Frank Zappa tunes, as well as other covers. Kimock had been playing the same songs with Zero and his own band for years, and it was really nice to see him play a slew of material that was new to him. As with all of Kimock’s bands, KVHW ended in a trainwreck when Ray White was kicked out of the band.

This past weekend KVHW reformed with “Mountain” John Molo (The Range, Phil and Friends) replacing Alan Hertz on drums. The two gigs flew far below my radar, so I was pretty shocked when I saw setlists for these gigs on Jambands.com boxscore section. I also saw that nugs.net made official recordings of both gigs available, so I took the plunge and bought 3/17/07.

Simply put, KVMW is fucking amazing. They played the most out-of-the-box versions of the Dead’s Wharf Rat, Spring Water, Zappa’s Willie The Pimp, and much more. It would be a tragedy if this band didn’t play more gigs. If this is what the first weekend of gigs sounds like, just imagine what this group would sound like with a few tours under their belt.
