South Farms |
Morris |
CT | Gets into some real dark themes. Unfinished and a great -> to "Doobie Song". |

Frederick Fairgrounds |
Frederick |
MD | First really exploratory jam of 2021 and it hints at the development of the "Ted" motif that will be come prevalent throughout the year. Back half is some great dual-guitar funk that eventually bleeds into an explosive "Bob Don." |

Legend Valley |
Thornville |
OH | Moves and builds upon a melodic riff for several minutes to a soaring peak like none I’ve heard, and then settles beautifully. |

Sculpture Park at Denver Performing Arts Center |
Denver |
CO | Fairly standard two-guitar rocking which slows down and gets into darker jamming at the end, sliding -> into "Creatures." |

Oak Ridge Farm |
Arrington |
VA | Floating melodic start that builds into a smoke show. Finish starts as pretty major key and then devolves into nastiness. |

Mission Ballroom, The |
Denver |
CO | Show opener for a fan favorite show, jam starts in earnest at the 10:30 mark and stays within a pretty standard rocking tempo throughout. Ripping final peak and cool final minute cooldown into "Travelers." |

Riviera Theatre |
Chicago |
IL | Show opener for NYE ‘21, starting as a type 1 rocker with melodic playing by Rick and Trevor and Peter laying some lovely supporting guitar effects. Cooldown ensues until drumming intensifies and band power towards the finish. |

Sylvee, The |
Madison |
WI | 27 min multi-part monster Arrow. Tweekz/Spuds-led space groove vibe -> Peter wah guitar party over a steady rhythmic gallop -> brief foray into dark jamming -> unique/pretty minor key peak. |

Peach Music Festival |
Scranton |
PA | Strong dual guitar attacking jam changes dramatically and beautifully as Pete shifts to synth effects around 18:45, creating a space groove and allowing Trevor and Ben to shine. Pete goes to keys a few minutes later as band builds up to a rocking finish. |

Ryman Auditorium |
Nashville |
TN | Peter’s Nord synth dominates, ultimately finding a repeating synth loop as jam escalates around it. Excellent slightly darker build with typical raging finish. |

Warfield, The |
San Francisco |
CA | Slow building groove with a ripper of a finish. The last few minutes of the jam are truly spectacular. |

Louisville Palace Theatre |
Louisville |
KY | A jam that Peter would write home about, two guitar Goose locks in immediately. Peter finds a nasty repeating hook at 14:20 that band centers and builds around. In 19th minute, band cools jam down and a few minutes later Peter begins soloing melodically and beautifully on the keys. Goose slowly and magically builds around Pete once again and finishes in gorgeous fashion. |

Nelson Ledges Quarry Park |
Garrettsville |
OH | Peter goes crazy on this "Arrow": synthy dreaminess, marimba dance style jamming, helicopter and alarm horn background effects, subtle voice drops (woo’s?), double guitar darkness. Once he shifts back to melodic keys you know final drive to peak is coming (and it delivers!). |

Cascade Equinox Festival |
Redmond |
OR | Standard fare until the last five minutes or so, when the band breaks into some terrifyingly evil improv. Layers of dark textures thanks to Peter's synths and clav while Rick opts for some more laid-back riffing. One of the best segments of the tour. |

Capitol Theatre, The |
Port Chester |
NY | A good omen for 2024, "Arrow" makes good use of its time in the first outing of the year. The band drops into a late-night OB-6 space for a while before an explosive conclusion. |
2024-06-16 | Arrow | 26:41 | Goose |
Jacobs Pavilion at Nautica |
Cleveland |
OH | This lengthy "Arrow" takes its time to leave the bow, but, once it does, soars high and true. The band pulls every trick from the quiver, starting with juicy vintage vibes, moving into interpolated Eurythmics-style synth work, and culminating in a punchy motif in which Rick masterfully synthesizes angular phrasing and blissy peaks. |
2024-06-22 | Arrow | 27:22 | Goose |
Fox Theatre |
Atlanta |
GA | Goose slows things down lulling the crowd into a false sense of comfort and safety. Peter begins shooting soothing space lasers and soon the Fox Theatre is being lifted into the dark skies, as the music slowly morphing into an extra-terrestrial summoning. Thick and evil music pours forth from the stage to swallow the crowd during this absolute all-time jam. |

Saratoga Performing Arts Center |
Saratoga Springs |
NY | Peter hangs back for most of the jam on subtle OB-6 work, which gives Rick and Cotter the room they need to DOMINATE. A propulsive and dark theme emerges with Rick on nonstop momentum, using Cotter's full-steam-ahead groove to destroy everything in his path. Blasts back into a high-energy finish. |

Edgefield Concerts on the Lawn |
Troutdale |
OR | Equal parts vibesy vibes, angular reverse delay, Big T fulcrum lines, cyclonic tribal toms, digital sauce, and staccato guitar attack, all culminating in a plucked-from-thin-air melody for Rick's closing solo, permuted several times before dissolving into the composed ending. Sultrily stirred. |
