Engaging and thought-provoking recap--nicely done, thank you.

With both Dallas shows on the books, it's pretty clear that the band was in a reflective mood, but were also feeling experimental, setlist-wise.

Though by no means a dance party or rager, 10/24's second set has more cohesion, to my ears, than it would appear 'on paper.' I'm a big fan of instrumental or odd-ball, 'prelude' set openers (like 'Demand' from San Fran this summer), no head-scratching there--it's one way to frame the set-as-suite composition that we love, and this 2nd set seems more intentional than many. Can't say the same for 10/25, though. ;-)
