My pick for the finest Hood since its return to prominence in 2012* or thereabouts (yes, even over Hollywood's version, which I saw in person at my very first show); there's an elegance and even a beauty in the jam here that I don't think has been matched by any of the strong Hoods from the last few years - and there have been more than a few! Sometimes you wonder if this band can still surprise us, and then you play this Hood (paired with, oh, say, the Randall's CDT) and laugh at yourself for even thinking that.

* 12/30/12's version is *tremendous*. There were some fine versions in 3.0 prior to that one, but ever since that night the trend has been from "strong Type I's" (i.e. 7/13/13, 7/26/13, 10/23/13) to "monster versions" (the big ones from the last two years).
