Hollywood Bowl was a breath of fresh air for that one and Billies.

I don’t think I could honestly say any song sounds better than it did with the original lineup, but there’s songs like Stone or Lie in Our Graves that sounded super tight and very well performed this last summer.

DDTW has been way too heavy for years, Grey Street while sounding better these days still lacks the punch it used to have and will never totally work for me with the horn duel, Rapunzel misses the finesse it used to have and does not benefit from the two horns riding on top each other during the jam, Even though his part wasn’t anything intricate Bartender really isn’t the same without violin. The band sounded the best they have in a long time in 2022 though. There’s things I’ll always miss, and will never be the same, but they sounded more like a cohesive unit than they have in a while.
