Xpanding_Man Great first set. Controversial second set to say the least. The Wolfman's contains a moment that maybe I can help clarify.

As someone who is actively playing this music for people, live and in the moment, I think Trey and perhaps the rest of the guys just had a moment where they absolutely stopped caring, on any level, about people's expectations, including the whole idea of being a paid performer in that moment. I think it was also perhaps, and this is me projecting, a bit of frustration at the immensity of the insane energy that was starting to surround the band at that time. Again, speculation, but I think that's what we hear in Wolfman's - frustration. Perhaps frustration that the 2nd set was a letdown for some people.

Either way, it's really strange and interesting and not for the faint of heart.
