Gold Here. SUBLIME - this is where all the soft touches come together. Bob is especially deft with the underlying patterns. Phil is perfect.

JG throws out ripshit solos all over this Fire and then they take it chillier on the ride out- no long crescendo at the exit but hot damn he pummeled some of my good friends with this... wish I was there but back on the east coast.....this was one venue I missed badly.
