~WEED FACTOR~: 12.5

cratch:
I haven't seen, smelt, felt or tasted that much 2nd hand ganja smoke since the mid 80's when I saw shows like Triumph, Boston and Rush down at the old AUD in Buffalo. It was everywhere ~~ around us as we stood 25 feet back from the stage dead-centre..... there were guys with their eyes shut....teetering....& more woman getting high then ever.... seemlessly...grooving like a scene out of ALMOST FAMOUS
It seemed fitting to see Chris Robinson slither around the stage looking like a thin Jim Morrision..... and chanting "We're all the same" " You, you"
"Me me".... "it's all right here" as he points to his forehead.... and we hear the echos of each word twice..... it worked for him
Once the sound settled in.... wow .......ROCK & ROLL...anyone
You just don't see anymore. The show overall was just fantastic..... it was so nice to here a favourite of mine WISERTIME....but the 10minute+ version of
THORN IN MY PRIDE was one of the best live performances I've seen in 20 years.....which featured a bluesy rock jam followed by some serious GUITAR solos, a Drum solo and finally into Chris Robinson doing 3 minutes on Harmonica.... oh and of course back into the song....
I love when bands sound like the CD....when playing live but they jammmed out a few songs and it was so fitting to the show...
REMEDY was another that just grabbed my concert experiences and challenged them for what was really Rock & Roll.....
Throw in a keyboard solo from the Torontonian and an Acoustic number I didn't know...but sounded like Country-Rock-Blue-Grass.... oh yah and the one guitarist standing over at his amp...back-to-the-crowd rubbing who knows-what against his guitar-feedback...screeeeching Rock...... this guy rarely opened his eyes and never looked over at Rich Robinson to see if they were grooving together.... they just did it and it happened....
F$%k..... could they play guitar....
As many concerts as I've seen in 20 years I have not seen DMB or Phish who are known for what I've mentioned and there are prolly others...so.. take this for what it's worth.. It's RARE....seeing bands AUTHENTICALLY ROCK like this now-a-days....I say this as a true fan of live music... it's all good... but what I saw last night .... really puts into perspective what I saw...
IT WAS CLASSIC ROCK .
