I only had time to listen to Queeb and Reba last night cuz Gabo was doggin\' me as I was trying to hit the sack
My comments so far..... this may be my favorite Buquebus ever. Certainly among the most unique and beautifully played. The first jam was probably 20 minutes long on its own and was totally inspired and flowed like water the whole way through.
Reba was just simply elegant. I\'ve heard a handful of Breakfast Reba renditions before and thought they were mostly pretty good but didn\'t hold up to Phish on a good night. Probably because previous versions were played more traditionally, starting with the Lawn Boy album cover at the Higher Ground Freakout. This Reba is a total masterpiece and while the jam does capture the super-chill vibe and build-up of a good Reba, it\'s done in a totally unique way. If Trey heard this shit I wouldn\'t be surprised if he wanted to take the song back to the drawing board. Transcendent is the word.
I\'ll listen to the entire show tonight. But unless the rest of the show was an absolute trainwreck (yeah right) Gavin and the boys and girls up in NH got treated to something really special.
The Queeb actually reminded me a lot of the Strange Creek Mayfly...
Anyway this show should definitely not be an "insider secret". Absolutely has to be on archive.org ... maybe AV crew can get that done but I\'m guessing they\'d want the original WAV files.
At the very least I will convert these .m4a files to a high bitrate mp3.zip with a megaupload for y\'all later. T\'was a bit of a pain grabbing these individually from sendspace
