RIP Neal. Adam MacDougall is one of the most underrated keyboardists ever!

R.I.P. Neal you are going to be missed tremendously.

MAN! That bass player, Dan Horne. His bass tone is incredible!!!. His timing is right on.. Bass Goals!!

The bass player and the drummer work beautifully together.

Depression sucks the life out of so many. Even those who have everything to live for.

The Rabbit hole was totally WORTH IT!!!! Cause I found....THIS!?!? Holy shit.......Fantastic!! And RIP Mr. Casal.

Neal's passing brought me here. It is what I needed.

is it just me or is the keyboard player a mad scientist / evil genius? love this band!!!!! thanks Paste!!!

Music for a better world than we have. RIP Neal.

Well, this is pure LOVE

Rest in peace brother. Love going out to hus family and friends. We lost a kind soul and fabulous musician. CATS in my opinion is the most original interesting group in the jam scene. Had hopes of seeing these guys around for a while. Godspeed Neal

this music is easy to listen to and to see the band so in the pocket is truly special. timeless.

First, RIP Neal. Huge loss. Second, I love the shots of Neal playing and you can see the drummer is having the time of his life. As a bass player, I recognize the feeling when you're laying it down with real talent. Cheers. Keep the jam alive.

Thank you, Neal. We all loved, and continue to love you. I'm in awe of the drum and bass duo.

Keys leading that whole train, I love these guys

I love the tones they all get and the overall CLEAN sound they always have.

These guys killed it at Charleston Pour House! Amazing! RIP Neal, may you forever feel the music brotha!

these old hippies are tight! Thanks for posting this

Miss u Neal. U r an inspiration 4 this life and the next. R.I.P. Brother

I'm in love with this band

Miss you Neal….miss you much, dude…. Hope your shinin, you crazy diamond….

love you neal, you will always be remembered

" you'll find yourself so far away from here don't let your smile go up in flames" Lines are from Casal's song Raining Straight Down. That gentle smile I'll keep in my heart. Of course, music will be there.

saw them in Austin last night 4/27. AWESOME show. trying to decide if they're Steely Dan with more creativity or Grateful Dead with more discipline. the real answer is neither or both. because they're incredibly unique live. one of the best concert I've ever seen.

These guys started as a project group to make music for the Dead reunion tour. There so great there still playing, I just found themselves now. So glad I did.

Why do so many ultra talented musicians have to leave our world so early? It is so sad. Jam band extraordinaire! R.I.P. Neal

Thankful that I was able to see Neal perform at Aiken Bluegrass Festival before he passed. You will be missed sir.

still can't believe neal is gone physically but his spirit and music will live on forever. i hope he found the peace he so desperately needed. rip brother until we meet again, may the universe hold you in the palm of it's hand...............peace

Sad news. Your music lives on Neal. Jam it out in eternity.

These guys pack up every bit of my favorite styles of music and serve them up as a tasty sandwich.

Love you guys. Love you Neal. Love you Spencer. Float on my brothers.

These guys are great! Puts me in mind of my Herbie Hancock Head Hunter album from the 70s ....

RIP Neal Casal Brilliant musician

Drummer is a machine. Love these guys.

As someone who struggles with debilitating depression and anxiety, Neal's death just hits too close to home. Rest easy man.

God bless this Funk.

yeah, this music is sonic gold, and we miss you Neal more and more as time flows on!

So groovy dude. Love the music. Cool dudes!!!!

Such a musical, tasteful and fully developed player. Neal, you are very much missed.

We miss you Neal. Seeing CATS at the BK Bowl and thinking of your sweet soul ❤

Holy Shnikies!!! I cannot wait to see these guys in a couple of weeks.

Peace Neal.. You're a gift.

The Black Crowes have become one of my favorite bands and it’s all because I found out Neal Casal was playing with CR. Him and Adam intertwine so beautifully here. Rock on CATS!!!

Man this was a group I was very excited about, for a minute we had Circles, Phil's terrapin bands, Dead and Co, Golden Gate Wingmen, JRAD, VoodooDead and LiveDead69 all touring/playing shows. Almost every night was a musical extravaganza! And thats just the dead related bands, phish, yonder, Jeff Austin were all going on as well then. R.i.p Robert Hunter, Buddy Cage, Neal Casal, Buddy Cage, Gloria Jones and so many more that have recently passed.

love me some library music, these guys are great

That bassest comes in real 🔥. Funky

Yes, this is great music to make a great start to the day.

...Holding Neal in a beautiful ray of love and light.

So good!! Great to hear really good fresh jambands.

OMG!!! I just got into these guys in the last couple of months! Can't believe what a beautiful talent has passed!!! I feel cheated out of listening to the jams that would have been.

Amazing band. Saw them a bunch of times. They sound even better when in the little wooden theatre in Norfolk, CT!

Nice to see a bass player with a pick destroying the naysayers, the rest of the band sound amazing as well.

You guys are tighter than a freakin clam!! Best regards from upstate New York! :-)

They find the groove every time

This reminds me of one of my top 10 shows ever....and like most of you, that's over many blessed years of shows seeing live music...it was CATS at Zoetropolis in Lancaster PA, perhaps in 6/2019?... intimate venue, 300 capacity maybe ...owner Matt Hostetter (who rages with his own bands) happened to cross paths with Neal as Neal was on the road and looking for a local recording studio ...anyhow... that night, every musician, Adam esp!, Dan, Mark, and Neal were incredibily ON and engrained an orbit that remains in my memory. Again, one of the most mind blowing, body shaking shows ever. Would love to see video or hear that show again, anyone have anything?? We were do busy losing our minds to record anything. Anyhow, love them CATS and see them everytime they're within a few hours drive but sure do miss our brother Neal...RIP.

Amazing work, I loved it. Under appareciated in the music community, and a vital backbone.

I just found these guys. A little too late, I see. What a shame. Neal was so talented. He played with so many people who will miss him terribly. Such a loss.

Amazing....!!

Magic carpet ride⚡️I surf the walls on angel dust

Watching this because of what the interviewer said about the guitarist having a giant pedalboard, in the episode where CHON was the guest

Tight sweet jams. Darn it Neal. I literally discovered these guys yesterday after listening to Goose play a bunch (Mr. KZfaq recommended CATS) after listening to a whole set I was so pumped to check them out more and jam along. So I jump in and what's the 1st thing I read. R.I.P. Neal. Never got to meet you, but have a feeling I'll learn a lot through what you left behind in music man. And I totally get it. Can be tough. If we only we could play music and get lost in it 24 hours a day. Problem is we can't And reality creeps in pretty quick after your last song jamming with the boys. That ride home is such a mix of emotions.

This sounds like a good CRB album. Good music thanks for the post!🎵🎵🎵

A great band !! this music do a lot of thing in my mind, in my body. An amazing work !

Fabulous stuff.

Serious good vibes!

Man, you sound great! Reminds me of those space-outs I had during the seventees from smoking the good stuff. Awesome tunes, man.

fucking A bro neal I love you cant stop playing both albums over and over and just appreciating it more and more

Saludos desde la Ciudad de México. Excellent, brilliant sound and great ideas, greetings from the middle land of America!!!

so, I'm watching this and wondered about the bass player who looked a whole lot like the bass player in Grateful Shred and low and behold, one and the same. Dan Horne. The Jack Casady type sunglasses were the give away. I fell for this band while listening in on the first Fare Thee Well show and in time learned that Neal is from the town I live in. It was months before I learned of his death. I only learned just now about his suicide. Tragic loss for he, his family and loved ones, and us.

How is that bass player that funky with a pick??!!!!

Mesmerizing and inspiring.

1. On My Mind 0:43 2. One for Chuck 14:31 3. Halicarnassus 25:09

they really cook from 30 mins on. DAMNNNN

Wow 👍👍👍

Grateful Dead on CBD oil,great music from these guys.

GROOVIN' ... Neil you are a badass

Love it!!!dSmooth Criminal

Kick ass sounding band!

Neal we miss you!!! ⭕️🔆

Thank you for your beautiful music

Neal will be missed for sure!

Thanks for yhe post.

Neil had a good pocket! Such a great player

This band is bad ass and great instrumental jamband. Love the keys and synths...but whole band is solid and the drummer and bass hold down the grooves

this band rocks! i really hope they make it down to new orleans soon. preferably around jazz fest!

This is great stuff

Music to float through Space on this Big Rock to.

CATS so good fusion of P-Funk, Pink Floyd and Grateful Dead. And they play so tight.

So sad I’m only discovering them now after Casal’s tragic end. I think the music community as a whole weeps for the lost of a truly great player, and great man. I feel for his family and his band mates, they lost a brother. Shredding for the angels now Neil.

Too? Our!! Dear🤗 Brother Neal😢 MAY YOU🎶🎶🎸 Rest In🕊️✌️

Mcdougall rocks those keyboards yo!!! So dope!

Gentle, True Spirit.

Play the funky music boys, Key man is a genious.

So freakin amazing

WoW, estaba deseando verlos y oírlos así! Thanx a lot Paste Magazine from Cádiz, spain!!

Rest Easy Brother

ça part tranquille, presque banal...puis on se laisse embarquer et finalement c'est très jouissif. Musicalité au top, bravo...dommage que Neal nous ait quitté, ce qu'il a apporté est important. Là il est merveilleusement accompagné.

man i miss neal. RIP

I cant believe the size of the guitarist's pedal board, its like the size of a small recording studio mixing board.

RIP brother Neil
