Review by JonnyRingo

JonnyRingo I'm only inclined to write this review as I've read a few positive reviews that have already been posted and I had a completely different take on the show couch surfing.

I personally thought the show was pretty disjointed. The band, for the most part, was playing decently well individually, but they clearly were not hooking up and it was also clearly evident (on the stream at least) that Trey seemed to be having issues with his gear for the first 1/3 of the second set. I get it, that happens, but to call this show "off the charts" is a little extreme. I wasn't a horrible show, but it also wasn't something I would consider revisiting on tape regularly.

On paper, that second set looks like a monster, but the segues were mostly forced, the band rarely locked into any cohesive jamming ideas, and there was little flow. Thank god Mike led the charge in getting from "Light" to "Cities." Listen to the "Light -> Cities" and you've covered the main shining highlight of this night in Seattle.
