EDIT: OMG, Rashawn at 8:30. He saves this song and I guess all of them were like "finally! please just scream your trumpet at this asshole"

There is no question that the musical part of that transition in the middle was pretty awkward and painful. And Toots' "yeah yeah yeah yeah" was very on brand for him, obviously not everyone's cup of tea but I actually liked that part.
But really, no matter how bad anyone thinks this went, Toots is a REGGAE legend. NOT a jam-band legend, not a jazz improv legend. While there can be plenty of improv in Reggae too, it's not the same, and I love that DMB and Toots were up for experimenting, it didn't go great, lesson learned for this combo.
But "asshole"??????? Wow, totally unnecessary. He's a great reggae artist and lovely human from what I hear, so maybe go easy on how riled up you get about what you don't like.
