Really? I’m very much looking forward to seeing them at one of my favorite venues.

It was just my takeaway - I was psyched to see them and they played a bunch of songs that I love but the performance was really missing something.

Or maybe I was missing something.

We’ll see.

Every time I listen to Bag of Bones I think I’m watching Better Call Saul.

Used to Know has risen the top. That chorus.

This new one is fine but feels like a let down. The last one was incredible and this one feels like a lesser version of the last one with some forced electronic elements. It's not bad and maybe it will grow on me

Yeah, it's not their best, just ok.

It’s second only to Strange Trails for me.

It was a really good show. The stage was designed as a layered rocky desert landscape. Guitar players on the lowest level closest to the crowd. The bass and keyboard players on the middle level and the drummer at the top. The singer moved up and down the stage throughout the show. A couple dressed in old west attire would dance around from time to time. There was a pay phone booth on the stage, the singer would use the receiver to put effects on the vocals.
The music sounded good other than way too much bass on Looking Back.
