The Live Review:
12/03/16: Lazy Days (The Byrds) opener. It's opened two of the three shows I've seen.
12/03/16: Leave it to Adam to lay down a baroque organ solo during a Byrds cover.
12/03/16: Leave My Guitar Alone in the two-slot. Love Neal's tone during the outro on this tune.
12/03/16: Forever As the Moon next. One of my favorite songs. Always great to hear.
12/03/16: Great harmonies from Neal.
12/03/16: Song is a bit different w/o Adam's piano parts, but here's one of my favorite versions w/ just a duet: https://t.co/ZoC6UF2GjJ
12/03/16: Precious, Precious is the next tune. Digging the sort of doo-wop sound so far w/ this and LMGA.
12/03/16: Also, Chris's voice on this is just great.
12/03/16: Adam isn't getting the spotlight much yet tonight, but he's using it when he gets the opportunity. Pitch-shifting ftw.
12/03/16: Love Star Or Stone, too. It's the perfect synthesis of a great ballad and a great jam tune.
12/03/16: Damn, what a beautiful vocal breakdown halfway through the tune.
12/03/16: Sure, a lot of CRB's jams are framed, 'Type I'-style jams, but that doesn't make them less gorgeous.
12/03/16: Two guitar attack here is awesome.
12/03/16: Damn. Great jam there.
12/03/16: Little Lizzie Mae next after that monster Star Or Stone.
12/03/16: Chris attacking this song vocally.
12/03/16: Some vocal improv from Chris now.
12/03/16: Tension-filled jam. Adam driving.
12/03/16: Really like listening to Tony play in jams like this. He's super elastic. Reminds me of Fishman sometimes.
12/03/16: Chris and Adam building a wall of guitar licks around Adam's piano.
12/03/16: Mellowing out again now.
12/03/16: Wind down to the jam > California Hymn
12/03/16: Out of the song proper with a Magnolia Mountain-esque riff from Neal.
12/03/16: Tony helping build the foundation for a great guitar tornado here.
12/03/16: Post-guitar storm, Adam leads the way on keys to a really jazzy-sounding space.
12/03/16: Back to jamming on Neal's riff to fade out.
12/03/16: > Hard To Handle.
12/03/16: Little clav-based jam in the middle of the song.
12/03/16: Some Phish-style funk developing here.
12/03/16: That is, if Page soloed by playing the clav in super-weird scales all the time.
12/03/16: Some more vocal improv/scat from Chris.
12/03/16: Love what's happening at the moment. It's as if Neal and Adam are playing two complimentary but different jams.
12/03/16: Neal taking over now.
12/03/16: Four-chord jam now.
12/03/16: Synth solo overlaid.
12/03/16: Now THAT'S how you end a set.
12/03/16: Second set opens with New Cannonball Rag.
12/03/16: Great lead-in to a solo from Neal to start off the Cannonball jam.
12/03/16: Great, spiraling guitar jam gives way to arpeggios from Adam on piano.
12/03/16: Tony speeds things back up to a shuffle, and then -> Tomorrow's Blues.
12/03/16: Lots of pitch-shifted synth from Adam on this jam.
12/03/16: Huge solo from Adam in the middle of Saturday Night in Oak Grove, LA.
12/03/16: Appaloosa cooling things down in the ballad slot.
12/03/16: Love Neal's guitar runs during the breakdown in this song.
12/03/16: Great little building outro jam in Appaloosa. Ain't It Hard But Fair is next.
12/03/16: Was not a huge fan of this one as an album track, but it's really grown on me live.
12/03/16: Vocal jam time!
12/03/16: It's All Over Now, Baby Blue
12/03/16: Neal taking this version into space with a huge guitar solo.
12/03/16: Narcissus Soaking Wet next. Nice one-two punch.
12/03/16: Love when the bass/piano riff comes out of the noise-murk to start this song.
12/03/16: Rosalee!
12/03/16: Drawn out vocal breakdown in Rosalee.
12/03/16: > Magic Carpet Ride
12/03/16: Neat double-time jam in the middle of Magic Carpet Ride.
12/03/16: Evil, rumbling noise jam now.
12/03/16: > Rosalee
12/03/16: Rosalee > Magic Carpet Ride > Rosalee segment was 18 minutes.
12/03/16: After Midnight encore.
12/03/16: Love the clav/guitar riff this cover is built around.
12/03/16: Neal and Adam trading solos one last time.
12/03/16: Great show with an AWESOME setlist.
12/03/16: Star Or Stone was just gorgeous, Lizzie Mae > Hymn was a great jamming sequence.
12/03/16: Rosalee > Magic Carpet Ride > Rosalee was a great exclamation point.
12/03/16: Not as much loose jamming as the other shows of theirs I've seen, but fantastic energy throughout and A++ setlist.
