Jeremy, it's always been great to read your writings on shows. Especially since we saw our first show together, along with Joel, back in '94. Remember the Simple and the Chalkdust that we got then? Amazing times!
Thanks for your insights on the all-original run (so far), the 30th synergy, and the parallel bookends to the sets! Well said!
Check out the 46 days jam again. It was a tour-de-force! And I loved how the Jibboo bass & drumz had some dance-tronica pulsating through it in the jam. Mike & Fish are keepin' it fresh!
As for set two, oh yeah!!! Chalkdust is one for the ages, Ghost was absolutely beautiful with a melody line that Trey discovered and continued to express in a deep way, Simple was delicate, enchanting, and ethereal, and Hood had a motif in it that spoke volumes to my soul, not at the same level as, but not unlike the Hood from Big Cypress.
I am so grateful for the ongoing specimens of beauty for which Trey, Page, Mike, & Fish are the conduits.
Peace & Love in 2014,
Markus
