I wasn't at MSG, nor was I at these shows. But I have two ears and I listened to every second, twice if not three times while I wrote this.

You can disagree based on energy and volume, but I feel strongly that while Mike's > Simple > Weekapaug may have been a blast, it was flat and non-eventful. Nothing in Mike's playing was any different than the best versions from the past year. But the overall version was 5 minutes and featured no inspiration.

Also, I wrote 850 words on all three days. Forgive me if I missed mentioning every single song.
