Re: Random dmb thoughts that don't need their own thread
I was listening to Live at Wrigley, which I attended and was one of the most disappointing two-night stands I've seen. Upon listening, I was reminded why.
It's not that the band isn't playing with fire or energy. If anything, there's TOO much. Most songs are played too fast (especially a frenetic Two Step and Cornbread). But the biggest thing: there's no space or room to breathe. It's constant noise, with no dynamics. It's exhausting to listen to. Every solo from Tim and Jeff is a bit of showy one-upsmanship. Not to mention, the setlist is lacking.
I remember leaving that show thinking a break in 2011 was probably for the best. I think they started to turn things back around with the Caravan shows.
