lpenoza This review will consist of one track only for the time being:

Stash -
All fans of this band really must listen to this and keep a copy handy. The songs opens with a TIGHT composed section, almost angry in it's purpose. No problems here, as finesse takes over. The Maybe So Maybe Not Stash jam very soon turns as dark and ominous as a storm cloud over Kansas. Patiently the band morphs it into a waxing and waning exercise in which each member appears to follow the others like one of those flocks of birds that changes directions wildly, yet all stay together. This really is group improvisation at it's wildest and best. By the 11:00 mark - they launch into a "beautiful jam" that sounds anthemic and triumphant. You will find yourself MOVING to this. Just as soon as it peaks, it's out into the evening news... Then instantly turns scary dark and evil. They screech to a halt, fade and rise as though one person controls the entire band. The sounds of reaction from the audience are entertaining. The band duck, dodge and weave their way back into what seems a high-powered return to the climax of the song. But yet again they seem to follow each other - veering off the road, sounding like a speeding car suddenly spinning on ice towards disaster. and yet again they hurtle wildly thrashing towards the familiar climax ending. I'm nearly out of breath, heart pounding. This is one that makes hardcore fans.

Sometime I'll get around to the rest of the show.

andrewrose No it's true, the Tinley Park show from the night before plays the bigger history book role, and in some cases with good reason -- but this Stash, you could argue, is one of the finest and most promising examples of melodic improvisation that the band layed out this in this most fruitful of months. A harbinger of things to come, many years down the line. It's 18 minutes. If you haven't heard it, what are you waiting for?

westbrook Yes, there is an incredible Stash in this show, which the other reviewers have mentioned. It's one of my favorite Stashes, but this show offers a few other big highlights, including one hell of a Tweezer. Also, check out this different take on a Runaway Jim jam and Fee's extended outro. Some interesting narration in Forbin's and a hard rocking CDT closes the first set.

Tweezer is definitely the highlight of the second set, but the shredding Maze and run of acoustic songs at the end of the set shouldn't be missed either. A Harry Hood encore is always satisfying.

Get this show and enjoy. While you're at it, get the rest of the month too.
