Especially given Trey's practice sessions going into GD50 as you mention, I am a bit surprised that the same perfectionism isn't coming through as strong thus far on summer tour.

Yes, I hear you. However, there's something else at work here. Musically, Trey has literally learned a new language, I think. He's discovered something heretofore unknown to him and it's as if it's 1983 again. That's really what I think is going on. I mean, his playing is otherworldly other than the fact that his timing has been off. It's not like we're dealing with Oxy-Trey and he's falling asleep on stage. On the contrary, he seems more focused than I've ever seen or heard him.

No, I think he's chasing something....something he tasted before this tour started and he doesn't want to lose the taste of. He's chasing a vision and he's lost in it. He's in a process of working it out. That's why I think the band just needs to roll with it. This may be a much different-sounding band by the end of this tour.
