I don’t understand these reviews. I’ve listened to this show twice and the rest of these shows from the past ten days. The word that I would use to describe the playing is aggressive. Every song had something extra, played with meaning. Train Song, Strange Design, and HWTTM included. The vocals are awesome. Mike sounds very aware and tight, without wasted notes.
Mr. Completely, Dirt, Cool Amber, Melt, crosseyed all did IT for me.
I’ll also say the Chalkdust, Mike’s Song from the Met show was very good to the ear.
I went this summer to Bangor and Montville and felt the same way.
Tonight I would like to hear Widora Bug or Wider.
