great review man! I miss that area. I lived in a little place called La Pine in the mid 90's as I evaded the Kamloops BC troupers looking to talk to me. Some of the nicest people ever and the kindest sativa I had ever smoked up to that point. I lived with a logger who enjoyed touring so thats what we did. Chillin' out at Nursery Park. Anyway, just got that Bend show and very much looking forward to hearing it. peace & nugs.

Nice review!

@dontjudgedave Bet he didn’t have to wait in line as long as I did...LOL!!!

@Johnny-Love Trash wins again.

Great review. Similar experience in Raleigh last week. Best band in the world.

Nice review. Looks like a cool room.

@Josh You have penned one of the greatest lines I have ever read in ANY review:
"After that ETS, Spafford could have played the fucking ABCs and everyone still would have a giant grin and be throwing down on the dance floor".
This my friend is an epic statement.

Awesome review, funny teenager! I laughed my ass off. That is a seriously sick Postman. Thanks for greeting the boys for tour opener in the frozen tundra land.

@Geoff Great writeup! Bummed I didn't get to meet you at the show but there will be more! Thanks for writing this up!

Amazing review, Andy. Your ability to describe the individual elements synthesizing the music is incredible and a joy to read- thanks! A great show, for sure. I loved the segue from It's A Bunch > On Fire ... it's such a change of energy but happens so smoothly as to hardly notice till it's there. And I loved Night After Night. I'll have to listen to the original debuts from the run once more (I've only half-listened to Soil so far) but I think Night After Night might be my fave and I feel like this one could grow to be an incredibly high-energy and dynamic vehicle in the days to come. So cool that this is the first of what will likely and hopefully be many epic performances of this song

I'm going to listen to this show a lot of times.

Heidi, we need to meet at a show one of these days! My girlfriend was present for this show and was amazed by it. Thanks for putting pen to paper or keystrokes to Microsoft office, loved reading the review!

Great write up Sir!

@603Brett So the nerds that made, or had a hand in the "Let Red Sing" shirts were there for their 65th show. Or so they told me.

@Johnny-Love thanks for the kind words. I’ll be in seclusion in the west wing until the next show.

Fricken a what a review by T-Rex

@FreshTracks thanks for the awesome review! I dig and appreciate the depth of analysis for each song and the band overall. This was fun and informative. And, yes, the Prog is strong with these ones. I think that is a big chunk of their appeal to my ear. That second set VBD > BDF is all that and ten some. Great show! Hope it hooked Eric to this sonic wave we are all riding high

Thanks for the review! Nola is such an awesome city and I was pissed to miss it. Nola crowds are really great and know fire when they see it! Can’t wait to see Spafford this weekend. I hope next time they play there we get a tipitinas show.

Great review man! Love the "brain needing a reboot after Ain't That Wrong" ... certainly been there!
