Hello!
I saw EWJS last week in Columbus, Ohio, my 4th Satch event. I have to say that while Joe was amazing as usual, I found that ultimately there was disappointment in a few elements of the show.
First, Matt Bisonnette seems to hadicap the band. His presence up there just doesn't fit well with the other musicians, and I truly believe his involvement limits the set list and also the quality of any impromptu jamming, because he simply isn't capable of keeping up with Joe and Jeff.
Second, I would really love to know if Galen is any good. (I am sure he is a monster in his own right) They need to put him in the mix! I saw him playing, but barely heard a note from him all night. He didn't contribute anything to the evening for me or my friends. He isn't great looking, didn't play super cool guitars, didn't wear groovy clothes, wasn't very present or confident onstage and most of all, we couldn't hear him!
Lastly I was slightly disappointed in the set list, but was thrilled to hear "Hordes of Locusts." Great choice.
All in all I'd still rate the experience a B+ just because I got to hear Joe and Jeff again.
Jeff is hilarious. Especially the way he rolls his eyes during Satch's Outros From Hell. Anyway, great job Joe, but get Stu back!
