Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit - Reunions (May 15, 2020) Album • Page 29

that rules. why was DBT’s set abbreviated?

 

Oh I just meant compared to if they were headlining a club show or whatever. They still played their full allotted time

 

oh sure sure yes

 

anyway I was so in the moment I don't have much documentation of the ""reunion"" besides a couple photos I've already posted most of, but I think my wife videoed the coda of decoration day so might have to up that if it's listenable quality

 

Let's goooo

 

Well it starts with one of my favorite songs of all time sung by one of my favorite voices of all time, did not disappoint shockingly!

 

My thought listening to the "Nightswimming" cover is that song is just one of the "un-cover-ables" for me. No slight against Jason, but there's just such a unique magic to that song that I've never heard anyone but R.E.M. capture.

 

It's enjoyable enough, but definitely lacks that clear simplicity in the circular riff that makes the original so singular

 

Yeah, I think I really wanted the piano.

 

Fair enough, I guess I went in expecting no piano because I saw Thile and Fleck were on it

Obviously doesn't have the same magic as the original as Craig put it but still loved it a lot

 

Agree the night swimming cover is kind of a dud.

 

I can't do it...I shouldn't do it...but Isbell & Waxahatchee at Red Rocks is so freaking tempting

 

how far is that for you

 

Too far lol. It's a Tuesday also. Definitely a pipe dream

I've done the drive to Denver in one day before but I think it's like 11 hrsish (and that's with me driving too fast)

 

i just looked at airfare to denver lol

 

Yeah it's too hard for me to justify paying for a flight to CO when I can't make an outdoors trip out of it and take time off. It's too bad the show is in a month that is neither ski season nor mountain-climbing season...late April through mid June is that weird time in the Rockies where snow is melting so you can't ski and it's also not really safe to hike too high up without special gear

Also have long wanted my first-ever RR show to be MMJ

 

yeah Denver is somewhere high on my list to visit and i'd wanna make my first trip there longer than literally flying in and out for a show for a day lol

 

Yeah either go in the winter or late July to early Oct imo. Spring in Colorado kind of sucks actually

 

Another show announced. Legit considering flying out for it

 

Please just livestream both of your sets and Katie's too for those of us who can't make it, Jason I am BEGGING you

 

hell yeah jason
