Warehouse 5 Vol. 1

Five of the band's best songs, from one of their best tours, with a great mix? Sign me up. It's hard to say which is my favorite track as each has much to offer. Tim's solo in CRUSH is great; the jam has gone through so many different iterations, but Fall 1998 will always remain one of my favorites. I love how Butch follows the guitar and bass lines during the WAREHOUSE verses; the melody has always reminded me of gently rolling hills, and he accentuates it. Roi's solo at the end is also fantastic. Jeff's solo rips in #41, and I love how Dave slowly winds the song down with his improv. I consider this performance to be superior to 4/20/2002. Carter and Roi's intros to SAY BYE are awesome, with Dave delivering a solid vocal performance. Finally, TWO STEP is a tight performance with tons of nerve. This is Tim at his best: little accents here and there, and a killer solo that isn't overpowering. Finally, raise a glass to the Chet: the sound is so distinctive of this era, and captured perfectly in this mix.
