There's a lot to like about this show. No complaints from me.

Okay, one (I can't help myself). Pls, Trey, turn down the shrill. Your current tone can be a weapon of mass destruction at times.

Thank you. I couldn't agree more. Emphatically. Picking up the thread from spac2 here and I think this is part of why the middle-range dynamics are not what they were in 1.0 as you mentioned before. It forces things to a polarity between either rage or ambience and this is part of why hoods/rebas/slaves aren't quite as satisfying to my ears these days.

That said, what a nice way to end the tour. Possibly a better three night run than AC, have to listen again. Hood and Bowie finish off the fourth with swagger. Overtime exclamation with YEM.

I could not agree more. You both said it very well. Trey's tone in the past has been (in many instance) the basis by which a jam or a composed section really "clicked". I'm really enjoying this current tour, BUT, I do think that Trey's new more tiny/shrill tone is an underlying reason why some of the jams haven't been as long and why some have left us either scratching our heads or unsatisfied.

I agree with the thoughts on the sound. And that the current tone cuts jams short...that seems plausible. So, as someone that has no technical knowledge beyond what my ears can hear, what's the solution? I had a bigger problem with the tone in '09, which everyone seemed to say was because he wasn't using his compressor...so people bought him a new one. Is something like that needed here? Or does Trey or a tech just need to turn a dial or something. Just curious.
