Madison Live |
Covington |
KY | Bouncy, tight groove early. Industrial guitar balanced by keys after 6 min. Bass shines in active-yet-understated groove that opens up with cymbal at 10.5 min and is punctuated with bright guitar and piano. Swirling chaos after 12.5 min. Off-beat cymbals and cacophony spill over again minutes later. Guitar lick injects motion, band gloms on, and jam morphs to a bass-led melody at 16.5 min during a guitar wah pedal maelstrom. Fizzles to peaceful, glorious, nearly 4.5 min passage. Beautiful interplay. |

TX | The full band stop-start funk is strong with this one; Dani is a Clav master. |

Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park |
Live Oak |
FL | Jake breaks down the Al melody at 4 min and we’re in Chase Bliss Mood territory after Alex drum pad hits at 6 min. Ethereal, peaceful, Dani synth lines, e.g. 7.5 min illustrate his high level of play throughout the Waiting Game tour. Dani thickens the sonic stew on Clav by 9 min, then organ by 10 min. Full band peaky play before return to Al after 11 min. |

Viva El Gonzo |
San Jose del Cabo |
BS | Preceded by guitar effects as Rick Mitarotonda from Goose gets squared away. The dual guitars swirl around each other from 2-3 min before a team approach emerges where they'll echo one another, then play off each other. Synchronized, blissful peaks emerge after 5 min before a return to the chorus. |

Wonder Bar |
Asbury Park |
NJ | Mellotron-esque tones from Dani after 4 min, and springy rhythm guitar. Jam builds at 6 min via Dani. Jake rhythmically leads the charge to tension, e.g. 7-8 min. Mike steps forward; a rhythmic, full-band listening passage unfolds. Sizzling Boom or Bust-adjacent groove develops at 10-11 min. Great piano adornment from Dani follows. They patiently ride the rhythmic groove. After 14 min Chase Bliss Onward blips become more prominent, corralling a creative segue into Beaming after 15 min. |
