Ill be front row of the balcony enjoying the show like a king!!!! itll be my 3rd trib show and you...will...love it. as for their sound. i think its true that they are changing it. but as i have listened to concert after concert spanning back all the way to 2002 to this years set at Rothbury...they are always changing their sound. They are rather adamant that their music is an ever evolving work of art in progress. No song is ever played the same way twice [or rarely] there is always a new wrinkle. I think they have moved more towards an electronic feel [i have my theories why...but thats neither here nor there] as evidenced by the songs that keep popping up on the setlist. I had the good fortune to see their ability to swing from one end of the spectrum to the other though in a matter of days last year. Their show in alabama was more of the "organic" [pianoir, warrior, equinox!]and then they played a very "urban" [Bigs, be nice, tokyo] show here two days after. One thing you can count on though, is they bring their A game every night. they take playing for their fans very seriously and as trite and cliche as it sounds, you can really feel them respond to the energy from the crowd. [side note: they always have a sweet light show...Rolling stone mag ranked them #9 out of 50 top live shows to see] Mr. Grizz, dont let the kids tease ya.

We got a good little debate going on here :) Ill start by addressing Mitch. In my following of UM i have naturally met a ton of Tribe fans. As you stated a lot of the fans hate the PA sets and it makes since since most of the fans were planning to see them play instruments and jam out. However even though i have never seen them in either situation, which i now regret heavily (say i told you so all you want, but im trying to redeem myself in 4 weeks!) i still really think they took a cool risk by pushing the envelope to test their fans ability to appreciate all forms of creating music. Now they are doing it again by trying an acoustic show, which i think is even further from their sound. I also believe both You and Eli probably represent the most appreciative fans of STS9, as far as i have met, becuase you except good music for good music no matter how its made :) I was also extremely upset to see Sexton has left the crew as i am about to see Tribe for the first time soon and the pictures i have seen with his lighting designs are insane. Now it really looks like UM has the best lights in the biz with Jeff Waful ahahaha! I am torn between your and Sams views of lighting. I think music sounds great without having the stimulation of lights, but as Sam so poignantly stated your going to "SEE" a band and when you have shitty lights it makes the whole experience fall flat! That being said i think lights are almost as important as the band. That is why daytime shows suck compared to night shows. However over all i will see a good band no matter what. Some of the best concerts i have seen were 15 people in a tiny room with a band playing on a tiny stage with one house light illuminating the stage. So i guess the point is that a live show can still go on without lights but it does not create the same intense experience! Very contradictory all around i know :) Eli, i have also heard through my touring that people feel STS9 has gone too far away from the original organic funk sound. That seems to be more of a minority view though. The fact is that STS9 has said themselves they are not a jam band. They have created a very unique sound for themselves which i feel not only sets them apart from every other jam band but now defines them! Guys go see some shows for me in Denver. I seriously can not even look at the list of concerts coming your way because its so absurd- Toubabe Krewe, Groundation, Deadmau5, Motet (Halloween), New Deal, Lotus, Ozomatli! Its been hard in the Ville to see my average 1 shows a week, and any show i do see i usually have to travel 1.5hrs to catch :( Mitch and Eli Im glad you guys chimed with your opinions.
