Hit: 5 Stars

Then I remember when I thought I had outgrown The Waterboys. I remember thinking I was no longer interested in the moody, lyrical, depressing 80's alternatives. I was ready for more improvisation. More musicianship. A more human range of feelings. Then I heard Fisherman's Blues and I realized that I hadn't outgrown them; they were growing up in front of me. Musically, they were showing me the way.

This is unquestionably the best live band I've ever experienced, and it was when they were touring in support of Fisherman's Blues that I first saw them. Back then I was with Phish (remember when they needed a little help loading the van)? I was with Blues Traveler the night Bill Graham died. I've remember meeting Carter Beauford (Dave Matthews Band) and Santana and others back in those days. There was Big Head Todd. There was Greg Brown. There was U2. There was Widespread Panic. They were all great musicians and great shows.

But you must mark my words. This band tops them. It is the only band that allows the music to overcome the salesmanship. The experience transcends the commercial machine. It is true, human, funny, tragic, folk, rock, blues, improv, and polished showmanship in a single show.

I hope you are able to experience it for yourself.
