Better late than never, right? I didn't go to this one; I gave it a couple of listens from a nice sounding download from the spreadsheet.

It's fifteen years later, so there's that. The first time I listened I was a little turned off by Trey's over the top playing. It didn't sound cohesive, like a band listening to each other. On my second listen.....OH! that's what this band needs. I was also maybe not listening closely enough myself. Stuff like Owner of the World, Army's on E shows good band connection. I love Birthday Boys, especially that bluegrassy outro. Wield the Spade was cool. And Them Changes would make Jimi proud.

I was into Oysterhead in 01, but between us, I didn't really listen to much other than the album. I really enjoyed this show, and I'm looking forward to hearing some more down the road.
