I, too, enjoy reading about first sets, as second sets so frequently 'speak' for themselves (or a million other people are willing to do so). I couldn't agree more about the joy and virtuosity you mention regarding Trey. Moreover, I really appreciate the insight regarding sound checks (which are a kick to follow). Everything seems totally possible; that much is clear. One thing I wondered (and this before the other night) was if the band might lay some lyrics with a 10/31 tune. For some reason, Your Pet Cat seemed an obvious contender. The idea that this was checked with _Tomorrow's Song's_ lyrics is totally intriguing.

It's fun enough discovering teases. What the band reveals during 'practice' (noted perfectly in this review regarding Scents) raises not so much expectation as anticipation to levels I've not felt since 98. Of course there needs to be 98 and all that precedes it for this to take place, but the point remains: this is some really, really cool and inventive playing.
