It's refreshing to read resounding positive reviews. As someone who was at an age that limited my experience of The Live GD universe to 93' and 94' (both in Chicago), it has always been sore to hear comparisons and rhetoric making unnecessary judgments about this band vs. that band, this guitar player vs. that one. Have we been that negatively conditioned by politics?
Let's respect ALL players here. I think if someone negates the efforts of Trey (or anyone with whom they are not familiar), then they are disrespecting the collective choices of the original GD members to include anyone else. Complain about that choices made and you are indirectly slamming the players who were involved in helping create a musical/culturally conscious movement.
