I need to make this happen. Very intrigued about their live show. On another note, I picked up some nice Dr. Dog red rocks tickets yesterday in the pre-sale. Made me sick to miss those shows last summer so not letting that happen again.
I just can’t get into them. Some of the songs are ok, but just don’t appeal to me. Of course my friends like you have to see it live… which I hadn’t yet.
It's musical ADD. A typical show is 3-4 song suites of Prog rock > heavy metal > weird synth solos > Australian pop > "jam", etc. I have several friends that are huge music fans and see 20-30 different shows throughout the year, and they have left KGLW shows early b/c they were just over it. At the same time, I know a bunch of people who went to the Richmond show this summer and said it was fantastic.
Gotta see for myself too. Diving into their albums is enough to give you musical whiplash due to volume and variety. Some I enjoy way more than others. I like the streams I’ve watched or listened to, but I do need to be in the mood.
at some point I guess I'll have to go see that band. Sometimes I watch a youtube of them and be blown away; but there's other songs of theirs that I simply cannot vibe to. I guess that's true of all the jam bands / improvisational bands I've seen over the years. I don't know how many times I saw the Grateful Dead before Garcia died, but I'll bet I saw them play Picasso Moon 3 or 4 times and that song was a set killer every time. There's a few Phish songs that I'll never like either (I saw the first time they played Guyute, and didn't like it then and I'm sorry, I'll never like that song. )
