Johnny Love you are one funny writer!!! Can't wait to see you again!!

great review Johny Love. I agree completely about the accessibility... can this never change please? Since i realize this is the last tour with this level of intimacy most likely, I pleaded and got the OK from the wifey to hit State College next week with her (thought i was done for the year, woohoo). This will be her first, she was supposed to come to Foundry with me but couldnt:(

@PhillySpaffnerd cya there, the venue looks awesome

@Johnny-Love you had me busting up. Love the verbal color you've provided between the lines. It made me feel like I was there for the show that it broke my heart to miss. And I couldn't agree more about On Fire. It was an early favorite. I remember walking @Mustard up our old hill and listening to it on a chilly autumn evening. Slip and Squander is truly something special as well and there is a deep connection spiritually to People.
You're spot on too with the notion that it won't be much longer before we are separated from these guys by the gaps that exist between the stage and the fans at larger venues. It seems inevitable as they continue to destroy every show they go out and play. I keep hearing people say "I heard all this hype about Spafford... and it's true!" They are the whole package. Dynamic, powerful, patient, and passionate. They can make you move and make you cry. It's a truly special thing.
It means the world to me to see you enjoying Spafford. We were together at my first Phish show more than 20 years ago and you and I have tread through all of our major musical milestones (and some non-musical ones) together. Thanks for taking the time out of your busy schedule to share your story with us. Well done.

@PhillySpaffnerd thanks man! I hope you guys have a killer show! i'm sure you will!

@lmwsongbird someday can't come soon enough! it's harvest season and our garden reap is so much less than last year, which seems sadly appropriate since you're not here to share it
looking forward to TBL Fest!!! -
@damian I love you buddy - thanks for bringing me to this music
