    Maybe so, maybe not.

    Took a mental health day yesterday and spun Okonokos on the beach. When that big "aaahhhhhHHHhHhHaaahhHHHHhhhh" came in during I Will Sing You Songs, a beautiful breeze came through to break the stifling heat and I got a full-body chill from it. Truly an all-time live record.

    Whoa just noticed Jim isn't wearing shades on stage for the first time in 6-7 years. This is also one of THE BEST Dondantes out there which is saying a hell of a lot, didn't think they could push the ceiling much more on that one, 15+ years into its lifespan

    Anyway my brother also saw them at Railbird in Lexington last weekend and said they tore the place down, even with just a festival-length set (and apparently the festival organization was a total shitshow that day too lol)

  13. Dudes are absolutely in their prime as a live act. When I go to listen to a sbd of one of their shows I honestly prefer stuff from at least post-2012ish and in the last few years the jams have gotten much more interesting imo. Jim has gone to a lot of different/new places, he and Carl have both brought in some heavier tones, and then Bo has just found another level as a keyboardist since touring with Roger Waters

    I'm going tonight & very pumped. I'll check in after. I like to go in blind and be surprised so I haven't read anything above.

    Funny thing happened to me for the first time. I forgot my tickets at home after travelling in for the show. They are literally hanging on my fridge. Since customer service is nowhere to be found I just bought replacement tickets near my original ticketed spot and will be sneaking into my own seats at some point in the show since they're ideal.

    Those shows seem to be a pinch undersold, tickets going cheap.

    yea the tix I purchased today for Philly were on Ticketmaster verified re-sale for the same price I paid via pre-order months ago so that was pretty sweet.

    Just got back into town. Still gathering my thoughts and will follow up but just have to say that the pairing of them and Brittany Howard on the same bill was magical and the Mann in Philadelphia is a perfect outdoor venue for them. It's all cozy wood panelling and Jim really seemed to appreciate it.

    Alright here's my gush from their show in Philly. Can't wait to see them again in Spokane at the end of the month.

    Highlights:
    • Brittany Howard, just all of it, she is such a force on stage and her band - specifically her rhythm section - is exceptional.
    • The break out of the disco ball light show during Wordless Chorus. It turned the crowd way up and created a vibe that sucked us in for the rest of the show. Plus Jim debuted his cape for the first time in the night during this song.
    • The clean piano intro to Feel You was such a nice touch. Embellished a bit too before the rest of the song was played in its standard and amazing form. Was such an elevating experience to hear that guitar work live.
    • Run It was meditative. It's my second favorite track off of WF II which I know is not the case for everyone but it was a delight on a cool summer evening.
    • The outro to Wonderful (The Way I Feel) where they sing "Going where there ain't no police, going where there ain't no disease". The crowd screamed those words and cheered after each line.
    • At the end of one song, which I can't recall specifically, Jim had the crowd sing in unison as the band closed out. We just chanted "Ohhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmm" like three times until it was just our voices. Reminded me why I tell everyone that live music is my church.
