FACTSAREUSELESS I'm impressed with the flow the band is achieving and also the tightness of their playing. Not so concerned with wild tripped-out jams at this point. They don't tour enough to achieve that all the time.

What I am thrilled with is their cohesiveness. I remember the sloppiness of 2014 and the complaints we all heard (and uttered) about set flow issues as they incorporated new stuff.

On this tour they are incorporating lots of new stuff and it's, well, it's not seamless, but it's good. They have put some work into preparing for this tour, that's obvious.

Overall, at this point in their career, to have this band playing as well as they are and having fun doing it is beyond anyone's reasonable expectations. I keep thinking back to the Dead of the mid-late-90's, with their six-song first sets and 4 minutes between songs only to be treated to an uninspired and moribund version of Row Jimmy, and we couldn't have it any better.
