joechip I think maybe the reviewer is a little blinded by dislike for Caspian. Yes, the Tweezer's jam was pretty much linear and straightforward, but it built to a satisfying peak of energy before settling into a nice ambient space that went on for a couple of minutes. It wasn't like hacking into the middle of a deep groove with the opening chords...the Tweezer was in cool-down territory and the start of Caspian was tasteful to my ears. Nowhere near the egregious "endjambulations" we've seen from time to time lately.

Everyone's ears are different, but Caspian was not jarring to my ears in last night's show at all, not like the Ghost> Mike's from the Greek, the Ghost> Numberline from PNC, or the Tweezer> Julius from Alpharetta. The Tweezer jam played to a natural conclusion, even if we all would rather have heard 10 more minutes of exploration. For me the 2nd set from Tweezer through Antelope is spot-on stuff.

Regardless of the disagreement, thanks for the recap.
