Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Like many of the previous posters, I did not get the same vibe out of the show as you did, but I also don't read things just to reinforce my own opinions. It seems as if many people fall either in the bust out camp, or the jams camp. I'm definitely a "can we have both please" kinda guy. Got some deep exploration the night before with the Wolfmans>Golden Age and grateful for the more bustout-y direction last night.

I think you may be underestimating the SOAM a tad. Might be worth a playback.

That being said, so much of a show is about headspace. Some nights we're in sync w the band and other times we are swimming upstream of each other. I'd be curious if you still think this way about the show after some distance from it. Cheers/Jerz
