I liked this one.

egad dude.

Keeping tabs from afar this year, I did get a few pings (and a video) on my phone that You Satellite was indeed the opener. I also noted that it was kinda the perfect tune to play after a YLT set that scorched as always. Hoping we get that back into the rotation soon, not to mention being a valid choice for solo acoustic shows. I had been shot down on that a few times lately in both formats so it's certainly vindicating.

So I'm very much anticipating this one. If there are shows along with it, even better. If there's another PG with orchestra show anywhere on planet earth, I'm there.

Clunky is a good description, but very much in a good way. I've not seen Jeff this loose in a very long time. I think he enjoyed not being the boss for a few evenings, slipping into the back line to play bass for a few songs and giving a "sure whatever" shrug or two during the set. "BASS SOLO" (not sure who hollered that) was started halfheartedly and quickly abandoned. "A few more warmup shows" was mentioned by Jeff as a possible cure for the clunk. Guitar techs were bumping into each other. Notes were missed / funny looks were cast in response. It wasn't open mic night by any stretch,

Never thought I'd say this either... Golden Smog!!

Notes?? We don’t need no stinking NOTES! Well done ya hoser.

At the risk of totally messing up the sequencing of these posts, I'll chime in on the two shows I was able to attend this past week. Here we have the spelunking entry of the Twilight Override tour. Being a part-time conformist, I shall even follow the new format. Almost.
