Re: New Album Coming Soon?
Call me the contrarian, but I like Windows quite a bit. I think Walk Around the Moon has potential. And I also enjoy seeing the current version of Everyday live, more so with Buddy then earlier versions. I think some of the complaining about this concert was as much attributable to a poor audio mix as anything: Dave and Buddy’s feed were too strong all night, Carter, Tim, and Stefan’s feed were too weak, and the horns were too weak until Branford Marsalis came out, and which point they cranked the horns feed almost too much. In that sense, I can understand some of the complaints. But there are also some people that will never be satisfied with anything other than being critical. As I said last night almost immediately after the show, it was a good show for an opener. Lots of new material, an awesome guest, and lots of good classic jams with fresh takes. I swear some of you would win the powerball and piss and moan about the tax consequences associated rather than celebrating $200-million. Lots of potential with the new work. And it met the moment we are all living in: fresh steps backs towards old familiarity, with some fits of uncertainty and relearning old tasks we long took for granted.
