The Verdict:
Well, it didn't feel right to start off 2011 without first listening to and tweeting about the Bethel Waves jam. The review is below, and here's the audio in case you need to listen for what I assume is at least the fifteenth time:
The Live Review:
5/26/11: Obviously inappropriate of me to start reviewing summer 2011 without reviewing the Bethel Waves first. So here we go.
5/26/11: Nice, propulsive start to the jam, with some 2.0-style soloing from Trey.
5/26/11: 2011 Trey doesn't have the melodic touch that 2015 Trey has, but he's playing a lot more notes, which is good in a different way.
5/26/11: Departing Type I shores at around 8:00.
5/26/11: After an interesting bit of circular riffing, Trey switches to a more distorted tone, and now we've moved to jazz-rock land.
5/26/11: A lot of grungy Trey/Mike interplay going on now.
5/26/11: Never realized what a big role Fish's drumming plays in this jam. He never lets up.
5/26/11: Brief ambient break and then some great melodic riffing from Trey over a murky soundscape.
5/26/11: This picking riff is super-excellent.
5/26/11: The last seven or so minutes of that jam were absolutely gorgeous. Wow.
5/26/11: Great ending, too. Double wow.
