@PhillySpaffnerd said in Spafford keeps me interested. Why do You dig them?:
You're right though they def have their own twist/sound. I described them the other day as kinda a jam band with an edge as I put on ATW from Brooklyn bowl, which has a harder, almost metal like track from Brian.
The many facets of Spafford is def one of their selling points... i think they do a better job than most of switching genres.. a lot of time that sounds like musical tourism but Spaff convinces me whatever sound they are in
BK Bowl ^ was the one full show I caught this Fall Tour and I am a HUGE fan of that ATW... I remember the shredding that I think you are talking about (and it was all that and then some) but my favorite part of the whole sick sandwich is the super joyful jam that breaks out a little after 6minutes... i struggle to find the words to adequately describe what it does to me... there have been so many amazing moments on this tour (and many "better" jams) but the joy they conjure in this section to me is second-to-none, is 9th Symphony Ode to Joy worthy, feels like a temporary enlightenment... it is also entirely possible that I am a punch-drunk biased because the show lifted off for me at this point and hasn't dropped me back yet 🙂
