nichobert And furthermore, if we ARE considering this a Trey-dominant show. Wouldn't that be a freaking GREAT sign? I think of Trey dominated shows as being the ones where they whip through a bunch of random songs with no thought as to the flow of the set as a whole. Ending up with stuff like "Twist, Velvet Sea, Chalkdust, Joy, Antelope, Shine A Light, First Tube" that doesn't make sense whatsoever.

I'm not downing the dude, but his tendency seems to be to intentionally steer the band away from psychedelic rock god cohesion. Sometimes that ends up producing fascinating results, sometimes its like the above 7 song segment where it's almost impossible to hold onto a feeling because 5-10 minutes later the band is going in the complete opposite direction with nothing linking the extreme highs and lows.

This set is the polar opposite of that line of thinking. If this is what a Trey dominant show sounds like from here on out, I'm ecstatic. Maybe next time I'll finally get that Vultures-> Round Room-> Timber-> Shafty-> Taste I've always been hoping for.
