Review by Pinhead_Larry

Pinhead_Larry I don't normally review shows that I didn't go to, but I felt compelled to do a brief write-up on this show. This is such a clean sounding show. There are some moments that hint toward a more jammy/scenic approach to the music, but nothing gets quite as deep as 4/14's Wave of Hope or Golden Age. Instead, what we get is a well-balanced and nuanced show that I'd argue contains no dull moments. The segues here are also executed in endearing fashion. I can't really pick a highlight because there are so many highlights interspersed in these 2 sets; Wolfman's>Izabella, Reba, CDT, Ruby Waves>Caspian>Piper, Tube, and Hood. And I'd also like to add that the individual members' playing is sounding very refreshed, refined, sharp, and crisp.

In this regard, this show reminds me a bit of a show like 8/9/15 or 7/15/16 where the sum is greater than the whole. What I'm saying is, not listening to this show because of a lack of deep, type II 20+ min. jams would be such a huge disservice to yourself. Well, as long as you enjoy when this band is firing on all cylinders, anyway.
