Thought he had a good flow going halfway through the Slacker. Like that delayed/echo effect or whatever it is. And I usually just skip past slacker, as I don’t love the song and it rarely produces anything.
Been very solid set for opening things up. This The Linear easily the jam of the set but it’s all sounded pretty good. I definitely like hearing Joel and Pony turned up.
haha most definitely not, so nice to see. I think really crushing this MW tour and tomorrow night hopefully is huge. They sound loose and yet focused, it’s genuinely great to hear.
Higgins outro solo was jawdropping. Much better than the other attempts I’ve heard. Brendan has the HUNGER again, and I’m just glad to be along for the ride.
Improvwise, this set started off really hot with the Fancy and then cooled but was still a fun listen. I enjoyed how Fancy was a “composing a song on the fly” jam as opposed to a straight “build to a peak.” Several good motifs here. This style of jam has been largely missing without Jake, and it’s good to see.
I also enjoyed how the Red Tape jam went for the ballsy key change (necessitating a really tricky but successful key change back into the outro), even though improvwise it didn’t amount to much…this time.
