The music sounds incredible. They raise the bar for themselves consistently and Corey has brought some new and interesting sounds to their jams for sure. It seems like this tour they're going for a more minimal vibe? The rooms are mostly super small and often out of the way. 3 nights in Cave Junction, OR has to be the most bizarre run I can imagine for a jam band. I wonder if they have a friend in that hood or something. It seems on the streams like they aren't bringing a light rig even. Anybody know if Jason Goers will be joining them later in the tour or for NYE?

@uconnwes Big shoes (and vocal chords) to fill indeed. I thought Corey sounded good during his run of shows. Obvi takes some time to learn the catalogue and build the chemistry, but seems like he likes to take chances and get weird... which comes in handy. Spaff on!

PS See you in Fairfield later this month?

Great Musette tease in the Diesel Driver from last night's show (11/3/22)

Well produced and listenable! Love it. I love the ambient exploration in the last two tracks and that was great live, too. I wonder if those two will always be paired up?

It’s very good. I like it A LOT

Well I was wrong about one thing, 10/26 and 10/29 are both sick too. They took a few more listens to appreciate. The electro jam in the middle of Comfortable is pure Spaff groove.

I just have to gush about this band... this run of 5 shows where they only played 3 or 4 songs each night is absolutely incredible. It frankly defies imagination... I know plenty of bands jam, and plenty of bands jam well, but IMO this string of shows was just on another level.

10/27 they hit their groove, with some really good bits in the back half of It's a Bunch. America is super high energy with some awesome electro funk bits.

10/28 Ain't That Wrong is just flabbergasting. It vies with 10/19/17 Bee Jam and 1/28/20 Bee Jam for Spafford's best hour of improv IMO.

10/26 and 10/29 are slightly less inspired to me but both have many good segments. 10/30 feels like a victory lap. The second "set" is just mind boggling.

So jealous of those that got to experience this live. Hopefully Spaff announces a fat west coast tour this winter!

Not a "tease" but 50:00 or so into the second set Jam on 10/30/21 is a Remedy jam straight up.

10/28/21 ATW has a Simpson's tease at 42:18. Teasing their Halloween theme!
