sorry to knock em so hard, cause i know that all 3 of them are ridiculous musicians and ive been diggin them for 2 and a half years now (30-35 shows or so)
that being said, i just cant get off to them the way things are right now. too often i find myself having to listen extra hard, sifting through the noise to hear whats goin on/what tim is actually playing
if tim had a talented keys player to help him make the background sound a little clearer, then two things would happen:
1- you would be able to hear what everyone is playing much more clearly
2- timmy could focus on his nasty geetar skills and play some mindblowing stuff
im sorry if the "garbage" part threw people off, but the past couple of shows ive been two have really frustrated me and last night/this morning it spilled over. i just feel like the problem and the solution are both blatantly obvious (KEYS) yet lots of people dont feel the same way
How would adding another instrument make the "backround noise" more clear? that makes absolutely no sence to me. I can undersatnd the argument that it would be better if Tim could focus on his guitar (all though i dont really agree w/ that sentiment), but your first point is just shenanies.
One of my favorite things about the trio is the fact that with Tim sharing time between the guitar and keys, there are a little fewer notes and the jams are more cooperative and breathe a little more. There is more room for the others to take the lead and Ron and Ad are doing just that. What a great night that was.
Oh yeah and the \'Queeb was from another planet.
Totally^ I\'m glad there are folks around here who say what i think, because walsh\'s explination really hit it on the head for me.
As far as the show, wow. What a rager! Everyone has already pointed out the obvious highlights (puppetry, Queeb>wuiac>Queeb, HLH, L&tG>over.)
I wish people would come out and see these guys(WTF).
And Stevie, I am absolutely pro-fog.
