This line up is so much better than the new one. I can't get into this band any more but the first 4 albums with this line up was amazing. Also notice no cell phones. Moss these days
Simone Albertini I agree, but their styles are very different. Jeremy is more simplistic, keeping to beats and using fills a lot less and with more simplicity, which makes them have a lot more impact when he does use them. Chad, on the other hand, loves to use fills and has more complex fills and beats. They’re both great live, but neither can be better than the other. I prefer Jeremy’s style, but in doing so I don’t discredit Chad’s skill. By the way, I have the entire Live at Stabler concert uploaded in HD from my DVD if you want to check out what I mean Edit: here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gxUOBaT1-u0.html
They were a local band in northeast Pennsylvania, and this was the (HOME) for them. They would blow the fucking roof off of the Staircase back in those days.
I think part of the reason they sounded so good here was bc they were so used to that venue and the way it sounded.... doesn't get much better than this performance!
