I always love reading these write-ups, Rob. They are packed with goodness and history. You put such effort and thought into even the most mediocre of shows.

I have to be honest on this one: I have been waiting all month (year?) to see what you might say about this Simple. Really the whole 2001->Simple, but the Simple. My goodness is this some of the most inspired and deeply moving Trey work you will ever hear, at least to this point in his trajectory.

Just really disappointed that potentially my favorite jam of the entire year literally gets one sentence here and is glossed over. I guess we can agree to disagree on the greatness of this one. I expected to log on today and feel your LOVE for this absolute monster of an opening 30 minutes of this set. This Simple! How can you miss this Simple??? Easily a top 5-10 version ever, and the best of 1996. The definitive version of the best jam vehicle of the year.

Just disappointed this morning. Had to get it out. We can't agree on everything and I love your writing. Just had to express this today with my cup of coffee.
