Chris Robinson Brotherhood 2017-12-07 Las Vegas (Webcast)



The Live Review
12/7/17: Lazy Days opener.  
12/7/17: This is one of the few CRB covers that I could take or leave. That said, Adam always gets a ripping solo i… https://t.co/Hcf8kqWvoy  
12/7/17: High Is Not the Top next. One of my favorite songs off of the most recent album.  
12/7/17: Loved this webcast because of the light show on the freak flag behind the band. Wish they could do that for every show.  
12/7/17: Great little rockabilly-style jam in the middle of the song.  
12/7/17: Tornado!  
12/7/17: I have a much greater affection for this song now that I know it was apparently the first song Chris wrote… https://t.co/KNcQosfhIA  
12/7/17: Mix is a little weird. Loud vocals, hard to hear instruments when they go low.  
12/7/17: Chris started off a little raspier than usual, but seems to be warming up now. Great take on Tornado.  
12/7/17: Space jamming starting up after the end of Tornado. Likely the intro to Tulsa Yesterday.  
12/7/17: Yep.  
12/7/17: During the middle section of Tulsa Yesterday, I always feel like Neal is like two notes away from teasing… https://t.co/wQO40MysLB  
12/7/17: I feel like the slide guitar part that Neal plays after the song proper might be a new addition to Tulsa for this tour. Am I crazy?  
12/7/17: I love this band what some might deem an inappropriate amount.  
12/7/17: Great, slanky outro to Tulsa.  
12/7/17: This is just reminding me though that I need to relisten to the version of Tulsa from the Portland show. F… https://t.co/XblV5LOr4a  
12/7/17: Something about the way they ended that made me think -> If I Could. Which would have been hilarious and ridiculous.
12/7/17: Instead, > Tumbleweed In Eden, which is basically the same thing.  
12/7/17: This is easily one of my favorite songs of theirs, and the piano jam Adam adds to the end just makes it even better.  
12/7/17: Great outro jam. Chauffeur's Daughter is next.  
12/7/17: I'd originally thought that this was a cover, but apparently it's a CRB original.  
12/7/17: Which is great, because it's a fantastic song.  
12/7/17: Love the way the end of the tune proper just rolls into a swinging blues jam.  
12/7/17: Now slowing down a bit, getting a bit spacier. Tony going heavy on the drums.  
12/7/17: Jazzy fills from Adam.  
12/7/17: > Roll Old Jeremiah
12/7/17: Adam and Tony going to town during the outro to Jeremiah.  
12/7/17: Another great outro jam. Every song is getting stretched out a bit here. Fantastic set so far.  
12/7/17: Looks like the first set's going to wrap up with Poor Elijah/R. Johnson.  
12/7/17: Adam laying down some ridiculous tones in this outro jam.  
12/7/17: Love the call-and-response guitars at the end of this tune.  
12/7/17: Nevermind: that wasn't the end. Neal is back on slide guitar now. Chris reprising vocals.  
12/7/17: End set.  
12/7/17: If I'm remembering right, this second set was a bit less raucous and more songy than the first set.  
12/7/17: Par for the course for the way the band has been doing things since at least early December.  
12/7/17: Slow, extra-spacey intro to Good To Know to start the second set.  
12/7/17: Great little outro jam there, but unfortunately missing the follow piano jam that sometimes comes after.  
12/7/17: Venus in Chrome next.  
12/7/17: Run of newer songs continues with Hark the Herald Hermit Speaks.  
12/7/17: Neal and Chris really getting into the outro jam here.  
12/7/17: Ah! The elusive Blonde Light of Morning!  
12/7/17: Expansive outro jam added onto the end of Blonde Light.  
12/7/17: Loving what Neal's doing here.  
12/7/17: Gorgeous segue into rarity Glow.  
12/7/17: There's a poor man at this show who gets so scared during the silences between the songs he just has to fu… https://t.co/AxytmtbBqF  
12/7/17: Poor dude.  
12/7/17: Behold the Seer next.  
12/7/17: I was never particularly into this song as an album track, but I really like the way they've rearranged it for the live setting.  
12/7/17: Finally moving away from new tracks to Ain't It Hard But Fair.  
12/7/17: Particularly energetic Neal and Chris scat session during the song's breakdown.  
12/7/17: ROSALEE  
12/7/17: Every time they play Rosalee, I wait for them to segue into Magic Carpet Ride like they were doing during last year's winter tour.  
12/7/17: End set 2.  
12/7/17: Old Country Waltz cover for the encore.  
12/7/17: I love this band's tendency to play those old, slow country-ish songs as encores instead of one last huge rocker.  
12/7/17: There's something that just feels right about leaving a CRB show with the last thing you hear being a song like Old Country Waltz.  
12/7/17: Yet another fantastic show overall. I wonder if these guys ever have a bad night.  
12/7/17: First set was insane. Tulsa > Tumbleweed, Chauffeur's Daughter > Roll Old Jeremiah, Poor Elijah -> R. John… https://t.co/dif9tousww  
12/7/17: All five songs jammed out in unique ways.  
12/7/17: Second set was definitely more songy, but I really liked the intro to Good To Know, Blonde Light -> Glow,… https://t.co/SMOliQ7ncj
