I'm not one to defend negative opinions but the reviewer got it right, folks. This show was very hit and miss. Doesn't mean the tour wasn't great. This show was not great. It had lots of misfires.

I felt for the most part, Trey was the only one in the band truly engaged with the music most of the night. Page and Mike offered nothing to the game all night, and both seemed tired and looking forward to the bus trip.
Really? I felt like they were plenty engaged during the Hood jam, at least when they got the chance to solo, to say nothing of the CDT or Light (which, IMO, is already being brutally underrated the same way Summer '11, which this jam shares a lot of DNA with, is underrated). If you want to quibble with what happened between SASS and Light, be my guest (I assume this is what you mean by "misfires" or the "miss" part of "hit and miss", though I certainly could be wrong), but I think the good stuff speaks for itself. Viva le difference, I guess.

As for the review, I've been mulling this over a few days, and I've decided the main example of why I'm rubbed the wrong way by it is this quote:

"Scents and Subtle Sounds" hadn't been played in 100-plus shows, since Dick's in 2011, but what's the point if they don't play the intro and don't bother with the jam?
Yes, why indeed?
