Goodness gracious. I've been listening to these guys for a couple of years now, and they are always posting new/current shows here for free, so it has taken me some time to get back and listen to some of these older/formative shows. They are every bit as blistering as the current ones! This Unbroken Chain is, in my opinion, the best ever played by any band ever. They know the song well, they play it fast, and it will totally and irrevocably BLOW YOUR MIND!!



Marco and Joe get it rolling and in good order within the first few minutes before Marco starts in and you can FEEL them move in to the zone. As waves of jams build and dance around the unique structure of UC, it's hard to discern just how well they are able to maneuver between that structure and off on the next brilliant jam. They reach so many highs, I have to make myself breathe and listen to just how sweet the ensemble playing is throughout. After hearing this on my iPod, I actually had to come inside my house and listen to it properly on the stereo to confirm it's greatness. Put simply, it's pure bliss.



Things fly into ORBIT after they make a brief return to earth during the final set of lyrics. The closing jam of the set is EXACTLY what anyone who loves this music dreams of. It does things that no one (me, you, Phil?), other than JRAD knew UC could do, and I am delighted to share my opinion and give it the highest rating I can.



And finally, I'd like to thank the band for all the music they've shared here, along with both Pete Costello and Eric McRoberts for the time and effort they've put in to get these beautiful documents put together/posted for our listening pleasure. Muchos Garcias!
