Thanks for the review. Wish I had been there.

Walls from https://spaffnerds.com/shows/2018-03-07 goes deep. Loving this version that segues like butter into BDF. Word is it they teased Made for Wesley in it too.

This is going to be cool. I'm imagining cleanly produced and tight versions of everything with perhaps a little room to breath in LTLO, Mind's Unchained, All In and Postman. Watch out world, Spafford is going to take over soon.

Nice review. Sounds fun. Loving the nugs.net. I think this is the best sounding mix I've heard yet this tour. Red is finally coming to the front and I was feeling his Hammond in my chest this morning on the commute.

I heard it a lot during the fall shows. Glad to hear it's made a return in 2018. If I had time to listen to everything (again) I'd notate when it's played. Sounds like a good project.

Great review. You have the gift.

Live Vol. 1 version is when I got it. Still love that one. Sound quality is excellent. Red's keys sound SO warm.... Love, love, love this song. Still haven't seen it live. Hoping for it in Raleigh.

I'm sure there are many great versions considering it's age but most outstanding Windmill I've heard in the past few tours is Ft. Lauderdale The ~8 minutes between verses is pure bliss. At some points it feels like an Eyes of the World jam. I think Red even hints at Eyes a few times. It has a very strong ending as well.

@RadiantDarkness that jam out of It’s a Bunch is one of the most beautiful little jams I’ve heard them play. Simple yet so sweet. Love this.

Raleigh Backdoor Funk. Noteworthy for two very distinct jams. Firey bolts of Moss occur multiple times in this version.

What, no love for https://spaffnerds.com/shows/2018-03-05???

That show will be talked about for years. The jamming throughout, even during the Mind's Unchained, is so patient. Sometimes intense while other times just plain beautiful.

Also forgot these from 2017:

These were some of my most repeated listens from fall (even more than Halloween and Fort Collins). Dig in.

Nice review. Love the photos too. Thanks.

I’m in. Love the site.

@BBlank20 yea not sure which song would qualify as their Tweezer. However, a while back I was thinking that LTLO was in a way their Dark Star. Bear with me. There are so many different jams that song sparks. I particularly love it when they do the two jam versions. But the thing I dig is you never know what's going to happen. It could be a guitar driven rock show or a slick EDM trance jam or a teary eyed euphoric uplifting thing. I'm really just noob though so what do I know.

Awesome. Just ordered a couple. Thanks.

Nice review. Looks like a cool room.

I listened to the Portland, OR second set on the way into work today. The flow of that set is unmatched in my opinion.

Set 2
Windmill, The Fireman > The Reprise > All My Friends > Bee Jam > Leave The Light On

I've never heard The Fireman before and it's alright but that transition into the Reprise is sublime and so subtle. Out of the nasty Reprise it again builds up until you slam into the AMF. Bee Jam goes deep. The places they go in this LTLO are uncharted from what I've heard in the past. Second jam is so fucking beautiful I had tears and chills. So damn good!!!!

I'm going to keep listening because they keep getting better and better.

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

Cleveland's My Road, My Road is hotter than Georgia asphalt.

I finally got to hear this this morning. I can't recall a more jammed out first set other than the echo jam.
