That looks like the perfect first set, only it's bookended by two of my least favorite new songs.

2nd set looks great on paper. Excited to listen to this one

"I Feel Free" PA music post show for Jack Bruce.

I thought the Golden Age sounded great through the stream last night.  Didn't catch most of the first set, but I like how it looks on paper. I also really enjoyed the second set, though my neighbor and I were pretty drunk, so take it with a grain of salt. To my ears, it sounded like they slipped into IT pretty easily...

This Wingsuit is great. Trey goes off.

[Caravan2001]

Yeah, finally a decent show.  I was getting worried there for a second.  Some great stuff.  I love the segue into Piper.

I was getting worried there for a second.

Worried? I've been freaked out. I'd say this latest string of shows is worse than anything they've done since their return. First night SB sounds like Coventry or Vegas '04. And that is not hyperbole. If you believe it is, then I suggest sitting down and listening to the show while paying attention. There is an hour segment there that might just be some of the worse Trey I have ever heard. Heavy Things to the end of Ghost is stunningly bad. Review to be posted soon.

Things weren't great but they've played far shittier shows since they came back.



Back on topics:
This second set has been entertaining.
I'm in Piper now and agree that the seque into it was cool. It's gotten a bit crazy here.
Probably finish this set later on.

This has not been a good tour but hopefully they are warming up.  Eugene was good, but it has been a slow slide since then.  SB2 is a good deal better than SB1, but not all that.  Last night, Chula is good so far.  The Destiny hawt.

i thought the destiny was great which is why i cant completely give up on this band.  i've grown into a different listener than i once was, but things like that little jam in Destiny keep me interested to a degree.  i'll agree that things seem to be a bit clunky this tour.  the only personal beef i have with the band right now is i feel like they only play three kinds of shows now: the hits, the jams, and the gags.  can we just have the fucking HEATERS back?

I disagree. In 2009, the entire band was out of sync, particularly Trey and Fishman. But find me another show where trey basically doesn't really grab a solo for 40 minutes. And when he does, it is mangled and abandoned after about a minute, to then return to bizarre out of sync rhythm playing. And I've been swayed to a 3.0 apologist with 2012 and fall 2013.....but this tour has seen a shocking decline. That said, I'll give these last couple shows an optimistic run through. I hope there has been marked improvement.

[PIE-GUY]

I haven't heard much from this tour, but given the reviews, I'm hoping it means they're spending all their rehearsal time on something big for 10/31.
