andrewrose Trey needs a reset. He seemed stuck in a wanky rut for most of this run, unwilling to go deep when the opportunity arose, instead often opting to start a new song (and often a poor choice of one, at that). It's a trend that reared its head more and more often through the end of summer, and sadly the time off did not seem to help. When the band did spend a little time jamming on a song, all to often an all too familiar Trey rocking-out on a bluesy tension and release solo, and nothing more. I don't think there's anything more sadly telling than how often this year Trey "teased" Streets of Cairo. When I see that on setlists now I see it as a sign that he was in the middle of another weak solo and didn't know what to do. When the band did show signs of an actually interesting jam emerging (like the 12/28 Carini) it's cut ridiculously short. I just don't get it. Hate to say it, but really, really disappointed in this run.
