The Live Review:
8/28/16: Let's Go, Let's Go, Let's Go opener. Great opener choice.
8/28/16: Being a festival slot, this is a shorter show, but it's the show (webcast) that got me into the band, so this should be fun.
8/28/16: Leave My Guitar Alone is second. A little faster-paced than they've been playing it lately. More of a shuffle.
8/28/16: Some great, reserved guitar from Neal on Let's Go.
8/28/16: I love the doo-wop backing vocals during this song.
8/28/16: Second song in and Neal's already hitting the super-space-echo tone. That's always a good thing.
8/28/16: Neal brings the tune home with a short solo. Forever As the Moon next.
8/28/16: Now that's one of those songs that you just don't care that they don't jam, because it's so good it doesn't need an instrumental.
8/28/16: Roan County Banjo is next. If there's a CRB song that is perfect for summer lawn-dancing, it's this one.
8/28/16: Precious, Precious. Chris's voice is fantastic for this song. Great cover.
8/28/16: Backup vocals are alright, too :)
8/28/16: I feel like I'm at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance.
8/28/16: New Cannonball Rag.
8/28/16: 'Boogies all night with the T-Rex arms.' Love it. One of my favorite lyrics.
8/28/16: Neal opening up a bit during Cannonball Rag.
8/28/16: Nice little Adam solo there, too.
8/28/16: It's weird to listen to this show compared to the last four full shows of theirs that I've seen live.
8/28/16: These are like the 'album' versions of these tunes, and nothing's really getting opened up.
8/28/16: I guess that's the festival set at work.
8/28/16: Still fun to listen to, but no jams to tweet furiously about :)
8/28/16: Ain't It Hard But Fair is next.
8/28/16: Wind-down bit in this song always makes me think of the Uncle Ebeneezer bit in Tweezer. 8/28/16: Short vocal jam.
8/28/16: It's All Over Now, Baby Blue.
8/28/16: I love how Tony switches up the beat on the drums for the chorus parts in this cover.
8/28/16: Absolutely nasty solo from Adam between verses.
8/28/16: Neal rocking the hell out of the end of the song.
8/28/16: Where does this guy get his tone from? It's amazing.
8/28/16: Vibration and Light Suite.
8/28/16: Love how they drop out of that Interstate Love Song opening riff into space boogie. So smooth.
8/28/16: Adam doing an almost 1890s watering hole thing on the piano behind the boogie. Hilarious.
8/28/16: Echoes and distortion from Neal and Adam at once is driving this jam into space.
8/28/16: Dueling guitars now from Chris and Neal.
8/28/16: It got a bit drowned out, but excellent drumming from Tony in that section.
8/28/16: Cymbal wash, ambient guitar noise.
8/28/16: -> Narcissus Soaking Wet.
8/28/16: And the set's going to wrap up with a harmonica solo from Chris and one last space-echo solo from Neal's demon-possessed guitar.
8/28/16: Welp, typically great playing for the band, but almost none of the typical jamming/instrumental bits.
8/28/16: It's a neat show as the show that got me into the band, but not really worth much relistening.
8/28/16: Would likely be a great recording to turn other people on to the band, though: short, precise versions of great tunes played live.
