The Live Review:
12/4/16: Let's Go, Let's Go, Let's Go opener. I sort of feel like every CRB show should open with either this or Lazy Days.
12/4/16: Awesome first solo of the night from Adam with some great syncopation. I'm not a drummer, but I think I'm using that right.
12/4/16: Chris: 'It's Sunday night...the best night for everyone who's out of work.'
12/4/16: Roan County Banjo. Love the keys on this intro.
12/4/16: Clear Blue Sky in the three-spot. This one's been growing on me more lately. Especially when it turns into a space jam incubator.
12/4/16: Yep. Instead of > The Good Doctor, Tony picks up the beat and we're off on a psycho-bluegrass trip.
12/4/16: Cohering around a circular piano riff now.
12/4/16: > SUNDAY SOUND
12/4/16: Bottom falls out right at the end of Sunday Sound lyrics. Jeff and Adam trading licks. Adam on piano.
12/4/16: Tony back in now. Chris and Neal taking a break.
12/4/16: Jam taking on an almost jazzy flavor now.
12/4/16: After a break, keys and bass are back, this time with Adam on synth. Tony keeping the beat rolling.
12/4/16: Request for more jam grooves from Jeff. This is rad.
12/4/16: Still no guitars. Awesome jam, though.
12/4/16: Guitars work their way back in as we return to the Sunday Sound progression for a big finish.
12/4/16: That was just as weird and cool as I remember it being from being there in person.
12/4/16: Sweet Sweet Lullaby is next. Good call in the ballad slot. Some great Neal/Adam interplay in the middle.
12/4/16: Meanwhile In the Gods next.
12/4/16: Really slinky jam forming out of Meanwhile...
12/4/16: So far, Neal hasn't been as dominant as he was at the 12/3 show, but he's taking the lead here.
12/4/16: Chris laying down some great chording underneath this jam.
12/4/16: Neal's tone is even more Floyd than usual here.
12/4/16: On-a-time transition into a funk jam now. That was weird, but cool.
12/4/16: Jam fades out after building to a bit of a frenzy. -> Tumbleweed In Eden.
12/4/16: Adam getting jazzy again partway through Tumbleweed.
12/4/16: Great jam over a bass riff from Jeff now. Looks like I get my wish.
12/4/16: Pretty fade now.
12/4/16: > Never Been To Spain
12/4/16: Some slide guitar from Neal now.
12/4/16: Great tune, but not quite as expansive as a few of the others in that set. End set one.
12/4/16: S2 opens with Stranger in a Strange Land. Love Chris's voice on this.
12/4/16: Pretty compact take on Stranger. New Cannonball Rag is next.
12/4/16: Great Chris/Neal interplay at the beginning of this Cannonball jam.
12/4/16: Neal has his say and then backs out of the jam. Adam stepping up with an angular melody.
12/4/16: Some more tension-y, circular jamming now. Tony killing it on drums.
12/4/16: After a deep dive, the band returns to the main riff and ends the song proper. No > Tomorrow's Blues.
12/4/16: Oak Apple Day next.
12/4/16: Shore Power next. Love Psychedelic Harvest getting a lot of love during this show.
12/4/16: Shadow Cosmos in the ballad slot. Great tune.
12/4/16: Crash On the Levee next. Second set is definitely more songy, but with songs like this, that's not a bad thing.
12/4/16: Songiness aside, Adam is laying down a nice piano solo in Crash On the Levee here.
12/4/16: I Ain't Hiding. I've been on a tear with this song lately. Nice to hear it again.
12/4/16: Neal's tone during this song is so awesome.
12/4/16: Huge disco breakdown happening now. WOOOOOOO
12/4/16: Great peak. Fadeout afterward > Narcissus.
12/4/16: End set two.
12/4/16: Show is a bit less even across both sets than the other two shows I've seen (12/3 and 2/18/17). Still great, of course.
12/4/16: Second set had a really interesting, if songy, setlist. Cannonball is definitely the highlight.
12/4/16: On the other hand, the first set was super-jammy. Hard to pick highlights; everything had some solid improv in it.
12/4/16: Encore sends us home with the low-key but gorgeous Last Lonely Eagle.
