Got kicked out
wild comparison cause jake was in the band for like 20 years, syd was in his for like 3?
Thats not the comparison I was making lol
Reading through all this banter about memories and years past, etcā¦.just made me realize that it was 21 years ago today that I randomly happened to meet @peyotecoyote Mark in San Fran in the daytime before the 1st of 3 nights at the Great American Music Hall. ![]()
Saturdayās show at Garciaās is streaming on nugs
Shit, now i am pulling for them again. Go UM.
Scotty is so adorable and humble. And, thereās no news of anything, just him being him.
Chatting with him was so awesome back during corn sweat tour. I remember telling him that this little 4 bar phrase he did during a reso Jam brought it up to the next level and he just lit up and remembered exactly what I was talking about. Heās a nice dude and grateful for the opportunity
I love how Scotty is sliding into Krisā vocal parts. Kris loved taking the higher harmony and really went out over a ledge sometimes with parts that could sound really bad if theyāre not performed perfectly (as sometimes they werenāt). Miami Virtue for example, which they havenāt played yet with Scotty. I donāt think anybody expected Scotty to fill all of Krisā vocal parts when he joined as a drummer but heās been trying on at least some of them and sometimes it sounds really good. Educated Guess in Madison this year I thought sounded better than I ever heard with Kris. Scotty is just less confident and doesnāt belt it out like Kris does, but Kris is a uniquely talented singer just as he is a world class drummer. I like the work Scotty has done so far in trying to pick up those parts, and also appreciate his restraint in not trying to impose himself over Brendan
To piggyback off you, i feel like Scotty has his range, albeit much different from Krisā. He did solid singing Jack Straw and heās got bars. Iāll admit that i miss Kris pounding away like some technical gorilla when i get listening to older stuff, Iām perfectly okay with Scotty playing in the background, commanding very little attention for the most part.
Apropos of nothing, 9/16/21 Robot World is stupid good
Any opinions on which song, historically, has the band made tuned best use of ā
IC, Synco are 2 that come to mind.
This isnāt exactly what youāre asking, but the transition from Reso ā> Mulcheās in 10/21/13 is an all-timer. This was my cousinās first show and all he wanted was a Mulcheās, so the anticipation for us during the long transition was great. Into one of the best Mulcheās of all time, no less.
OoO is their best song to ā imo.
One of the cooler ā I ever saw them do was Linear ā Conduit at the Calvin Theater in 2012. One of the few times ever that Conduit didnāt have the drum intro, they slide smoothly from the Linear jam into the first verse of Conduit.
Not the biggest fan of the song but ā Walletsworth is usually buttery smooth.
Just relistened to this recently, so itās fresh in my mind, but not sure how many other instances of it there are:
9/27/06
Kabump ā Thin Air is pretty, pretty smooth
