NigelTufnel Yeah, I'm surprised at how much you're downplaying these last three shows. I'm as nit-picky and demanding as they come, but I love these last three outings and can easily say it's the best (and most consistent) playing they've showcased in 3.0. Star Lake set two features some of the tightest jamming of all time. No joke. It doesn't get ANY better than Simple through -7. The band was at the top of their game. 20 minute jam or 10. Doesn't matter. That Weekapaugh is one of the best jams of the modern era. They entered a bouncy house of ideas but everyone was on the same page at every turn. Fresh, inventive, tight, nasty, diverse...that sequence has it all. I'm not fluffing. They don't get tighter than that. They transcended what it means to be a band, just like they did in the nineties. They moved past that....into the nether realms of subconscious and, quite frankly, alien musicianship. To deny this claim is to deny Truth. And if you don't hear it like how I just described, it's time to find a new band. Because the past three shows have represented a new peak of this band. Like it or not....here they come.

(not bashing @lumpblockclod ...just using his lack of enthusiasm and replacing it with my own and sending a message to the h8ers, if any exist)
