@myanruth thanks for hooking up the 6pack- great pre game for Fall Tour! Listened to first two so far, both seriously solid shows although ill take 10-02-14 if I had to pick. In terms of 10-04-12 greatLTLO opener, Red seriously lays it down. The "palindrome" section is just dreamy... So funky in that first ATW... Nice jazzy exchange early on in second On Fire, a bit Phishy, which made me appreciate that this Is not Spafford's main sound. ITEOT was the highlight for me- the guest sax sits in the song beautifully! By the way, anyone know when the name change from Choc Beef to ITEOT? And more importantly, why??
10-02-14 is great - only Weasel clocks in at 15min plus but the jamming throughout is fierce and focused and it's just a great set list. Plus, debut VBD?! And what a VBD it is! Somewhere around 4.5 mins when it mellows out Brian plays a solo that is so soft and delicate it doesn't even sound like a guitar. Great Mad World version, and Seven which is usually not my fave grabbed me this time. And the Postman-Lonely-People closing is just friggin peachy.
