The recap kinda makes it sound like it really should be Carini -> Waves. Starting a jam into one song before actually playing that song? That's the definition of "-> " to a tee.

Nice recap of a damned good show, @pzerbo. Not sure I agree about the "woo"s (especially since it pops up like, what, every 9-10 shows now?), but I'm in a pretty distinct minority about that, I'm sure.

I read all your reveiws @noob. You write extremely well, so I value your opinion. Say the wooing appears every 4-5 shows; would this move you from your position?

I ask myself when it's going down - or when I catch the tape - if the 'participation' adds anything positive to the playing, or to my experience (the two can be mutually exclusive). Every time* the answer is No.

You break down alligator mouths and 'three-chord' progressions with calibrated precision; can you do the same for wooing?

I'm not trying to harsh @glassio's good times or whatever. (Nor am I trying to put you on the spot; if you like it, you like it, enough said.) And I could be in the minority, which is fine. But what glass dismisses out of hand is that people do talk like we're at a HS reunion.

Moreover, we're getting into apples and oranges.... Singing along - like last night, with Forbin - is different than inserting yourself into the playing; wooing often creating, at best, a distraction.

It just seems amateurish. I haven't been to a DMB show, but I'll take Dust99's word for it.
