The Live Review:
11/3/17: Anyone else see a cartoon squirrel on their TV who teaches them about the CRB? Or is that just me?
11/3/17: It's quiet, but sounds like maybe Neil Young intro music.
11/3/17: Or maybe that's just the background music for the webcast?
11/3/17: Massively long commercial for Lockn' and now back to crowd noise.
11/3/17: Band taking the stage.
11/3/17: Seven Nights To Rock opener.
11/3/17: High Is Not The Top
11/3/17: Missed the first two songs because of the dog we're dogsitting running all over and screaming. Sounds nice, though.
11/3/17: Chris getting out an old strat for the next song.
11/3/17: They sound a bit more pared-down a la the new album during this show than they did when I saw them on 7/7.
11/3/17: A little Dead-like noodling to start whatever this song is.
11/3/17: Tulsa Yeserday!
11/3/17: Jeff playing a bass I've never heard before, too.
11/3/17: They been doing a lot of Tulsa > Hymn pairings lately. Sort of hoping they just jam this one instead.
11/3/17: Great Neal/Chris interplay here in the mid-song jam.
11/3/17: Still more guitar dueling on the outro jam. Neat.
11/3/17: Jams are just better when both guitars are playing melody.
11/3/17: Loving Tony's drumming here.
11/3/17: Mellow jam based on the song's intro riff now. Neal on slide.
11/3/17: Lots of guitar pyrotechnics so far. Adam is laying back a bit.
11/3/17: Full jammed version. That was great.
11/3/17: > It's Only Daddy (That'll Walk the Line)
11/3/17: Clear Blue Sky
11/3/17: I'm definitely at that point where Neal's solo notes match together like LEGO bricks until they all turn gold.
11/3/17: You know, that point everyone gets to, right?
11/3/17: Neal is wearing 80 year old man jeans. There. I said it.
11/3/17: But he's also destroying this Clear Blue Sky solo.
11/3/17: Great interplay in this jam. Their jamming sounds legitimately different and more complex than it was a few months ago.
11/3/17: Again, really loving Chris's additions to this jam.
11/3/17: Jam still going. Super rad. Departed from their usual 'composed' jam pieces completely.
11/3/17: > Sunday Sound!
11/3/17: I love this song so much I don't even care that Chris apparently doesn't know how to read a calendar :)
11/3/17: Drum-based jam while others make some weird noises in the background.
11/3/17: Now just Tony and Adam jamming.
11/3/17: Ridiculous beats from Tony here.
11/3/17: Adam just hit on the most amazing piano riff. If this was Phish, Trey would be creaming his pants right now.
11/3/17: I've heard a lot of Adam-and-Tony Sunday Sound jams before, and this is my all-time favorite.
11/3/17: Imagine Vince Guaraldi, but smoking weed.
11/3/17: Or I guess maybe Vince Guaraldi smoking more weed.
11/3/17: Still just Adam and Tony. This is great.
11/3/17: Thought Adam was using a loop, but he was just holding his hand there that whole time.
11/3/17: This is some serious Squirming-Coil-ending shit here.
11/3/17: Neal just went over to Adam after that song and was like 'Hey, thanks for the union break there.'
11/3/17: Vibration and Light Suite! Not only does Chris think it's Sunday, he thinks it's the second set!
11/3/17: Heading into post-Vibration jam territory. Here we goooooooooo
11/3/17: Unhinged solo from Adam + space jam + psycho webcast effects = fja oeiguj i
11/3/17: Great jam built on call and response between Neal and Adam now.
Wrong band, but still appropriate right now. https://t.co/UsHuTNb53B
11/3/17: Taking me back to Circles at Terrapin Crossroads here. Huge jam.
11/3/17: > I Ain't Hiding. On-a-dime transition.
11/3/17: I've never heard a CRB show I didn't like, but they just sound a ton tighter and more creative than usual tonight.
11/3/17: And 'usual' is already pretty fucking great.
11/3/17: Absolutely sick groove in this I Ain't Hiding jam. Could be Tube jam if you tweaked Neal's tone a little.
11/3/17: Oh, that was the end of the first set.
11/3/17: Walked to the market, bought some fancy beers, walked back (in the snow!). Got back just as S2 started.
11/3/17: Sweet Dreams Baby (w/ jam intro)
11/3/17: Some ridiculous harmonies going down here.
11/3/17: Venus In Chrome!
11/3/17: Would love to see this one get a proper album take some day. Great song.
11/3/17: Slowing things down a bit with She Shares My Blanket.
11/3/17: Tony rocking an awesome CRB-themed denim jacket for this show.
11/3/17: Behold The Seer. Liking the sudden focus on new songs.
11/3/17: Chris has stuck with that strat for almost the whole show.
11/3/17: Here comes the cranial fission that is Neal Casal's second set guitar tone.
11/3/17: Nice little jam tagged onto the end there.
11/3/17: Hark, The Herald Hermit Speaks is next.
11/3/17: They've played a shitload of the new tunes, but neither of my favorites: Blonde Light of Morning or Good To Know.
11/3/17: I feel like this is going to be one of those second-quarter-heavy shows, like the one I saw in Eugene last year.
11/3/17: Totally fine, though, because a second set of CRB tunes is still a great second set, jams or no.
11/3/17: GOOD TO KNOW
11/3/17: It's like they heard me somehow!
11/3/17: DEAR CRB THANKS NOW GIVE ME SOME OF THAT ROCK STAR MONEY
11/3/17: YOUR WEED IS ALMOST CERTAINLY ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE BETTER THAN MINE
11/3/17: Jammed intro.
11/3/17: First time I've heard this song live. It's great.
11/3/17: Piano only outro, now.
11/3/17: Rest of the band joining back in. Good To Know has a Second Jam?!
11/3/17: Really cool jam on the outro chords of the song proper building up now.
11/3/17: This is awesome. Do they always do this with this song?
11/3/17: Grown-up Strawberry Shortcake was on the rail in set one. Looks like she's back for set two.
11/3/17: Fading out for a minute, but a jazzy riff from Adam brings everyone back to circle it.
11/3/17: Great backing on this jam from Tony and Jeff.
11/3/17: Tony with a very Fishman-y beat now as the jam dissolves.
11/3/17: This is really fun. Space jam a la Vibration and Light Suite.
11/3/17: I've only seen five other CRB shows, but I've never seen them jam this much, or this abstractly. So good.
11/3/17: > Narcissus
11/3/17: I forgot who I was there for a minute, but I came back in time for the end of Narcissus.
11/3/17: Think this next tune is Burn Slow.
11/3/17: I feel like successfully living this song's message right now.
11/3/17: I love the little major key fake outro to Burn Slow and how it suddenly drops back into the minor key.
11/3/17: There's something about this song that always makes me think of Twenty Years Later.
11/3/17: Got Love (If You Want It)
11/3/17: https://t.co/aBrk4H0nul
11/3/17: Oops. I was supposed to tweet that during Burn Slow. Too slow.
11/3/17: I'm having a bit of trouble with that whole 'time' concept.
11/3/17: Chris throwing some scat vocals now.
11/3/17: Some blues harmonica coming your way now.
11/3/17: Full-on Johnny B. Goode-style blues jam breaking out now.
11/3/17: That was a cool twist on what's usually a solid but normal cover.
11/3/17: Only seven songs in the second set, or did I miss one?
11/3/17: End set either way.
11/3/17: I don't know the name of this cover they're playing for the encore, but it's really good.
11/3/17: Might be called Let It Go?
11/3/17: End show.
11/3/17: Really interesting song choices in the second set made it really fun. First set was insane. Second quarter was BONKERS.
