  1. I dig the 'new' format - talking about what you personally like about the upcoming jams, then playing said jams. Listening to them on my own, I notice my own things; so it's cool to hear somebody point out something new.
    As for Billy K., there's a "Truckin'" from London on this tour where the band is a bit spacey, one vocalist brings the last verse in, and then Bill brings the whole band back in - on the beat! I'll have to listen to that one, too.
    I made it through the first set yesterday, so I'm starting set II now.

  2. I like the commentary as well - cool to hear what stands out about the selections from different people. Lots of great stuff on this show! The "Playing in the Band" in particular highlights what's so great about this year. When in later years it leaned toward mellow space, here the jam is just full-throttle ahead, blazing! Yet it's also full of nuance as well, the band is really listening to each other, turning on a dime at 100mph.
