VIDEO: Remembering Jellyfish
Hundreds of thousands of ALT-Rock fans of the early 1990s were lured into fan hood by two delicious records by Jellyfish, the most brilliant of rock derivatives in both lyric and composition.
Today, I ran across an article by Peter Lee that best pinpoints the artistic importance of Jellyfish in time and legacy better than any other article I've discovered. Read on:
Jellyfish: The legacy of power pop's golden boys
by Peter Lee
I was fortunate enough to sneak into the Denver June 1991 show as they opened for headliner rookie -- The Black Crowes. Their performance was unbelievable to hear.
And below is "The King is Half Undressed" video which started it all for me:
And below is a video from the tour... the Jellyfish harmonies join The Crowes on "Seein' Things" -- idyllic collaboration... it may take Johnny, Rich and Chris to ask Jellyfish to reform for a tour for a new generation to hear "PowerPop's Golden Boys" play live again.

Hey - just came across your blog while trying to find my article on Jellyfish. Thanks for the mention, and I'm glad you liked the article! Why groups like Jellyfish fall by the wayside while Britney et al continue to stumble along is a mystery.
You can now check out my continued rants and quest for good music at My hmphs (URL should be in my name above). I'm trying to get permission to re-run the article so future generations can continue to enjoy.
