Absolutely insane experience. The whole Reba Jam -> Back on the Train fakeout -> actually I’m Writing A Novel was so funny.
They cover I’m Writing a Novel semi frequently actually. Obviously this is the first time FJM played it with them.
ok now I get this take. The beginning is a little cringy but the ending is one of my favorite parts of a great LP.
Rick's smile when Trey takes the Hungersite solo at 5:09 >>>>> This video/soundboard doesn't remotely capture the crowd roar at Trey taking the solo quite like this one though. UNREAL.
studio version of Arrow has grown on me greatly. really enjoying all these studio versions. I’ve also shared the album with other friends who have given me shit (as friends do) for getting VERY into a jam band over the past year, and have all had positive things to say about the album. My vinyl showed up over the weekend. really nice looking record. and actual booklet!
I really think my only issue with studio Arrow is how they try to shove the 'fi-ah-oh' into the song. works fine for the live versions we are used to, but just feels really out of place & a bit corny in the studio version. other than that, I really do like studio Arrow.
I’m not a fan of the tin can effect on his vocals. And the slow chorus is even more jarring with the raucous horn filled verses. But overall I do like the horn arrangement on the record. And that’s pretty much my only slight on the whole album.
I remain in awe at how many folks on this forum who aren't jam people have jumped on the train and gone out and seen this band. Really cool.
I was surprised at how focused they really do stay. I also dig the funkiness and the singer has an incredible voice
They have been killing it this summer. That Earthling or Alien from earlier this month got super heavy! Had me doing a double take.
somebody said they sound like Phish but have the appeal of DMB and looking around, its pretty hard to argue
Some friends of mine have become fixtures at these guys' shows, really great up and coming jam band that hasn't been Pete Shapiro'd yet (tickets still under $40). NOT a dead cover band
It’s so funny cuz I’ve been joking about Big Boi sitting in with Goose since they announced the okeechobee fest. I wonder if we get another sit-in in March.
The first collab jam just wrapped at the Taboose tour (All I Need) and holy shit Rick and Trey murdered that.
