Via Chicago was a thing of majestic beauty. They started out soft and melodic and then all of a sudden they would break into this incredible dissonant jam and then just as suddenly, without any noticeable band cues they would come back in beat perfect to a mellow verse. It was breathtaking.
Via Chicago is very representative of what the band does best imo. Jeff's voice emerging softly out of the dissonance is one of the best things they achieve!
It's great that they've been playing their earlier stuff. I saw them twice this year, but both times they didn't play anything from before Summerteeth.
