nichobert And fwiw, I love the general sound of the band's improv right now. Even when it comes in all too short snippets before the next song's intro riff comes out of nowhere in a different key & tempo from the preceding jam. Like i said, I get it if they don't want to be some uber-jamband like the Disco Biscuits and add 10-20 minutes of improv to every song, but a lot of these segues that felt abrupt could have been masterful if Trey would hold off for another 15-60 seconds and work the common ground between the improv & the next tune. Both Tweezer segues felt really natural, glad to see this side of the band poking through!

I just hope that Superball features the boys letting it all hang out a few times. When you've gotten 80,000 people out to a field for a weekend and you're the only band on the bill, it seems like you might want to up the improv percentage a little bit and really play with the idea of taking so many people on a magical journey through sound and light.
