Copying a post I made over in the controversial opinion thread which includes some of my favs from the most recent shows.

The past few shows at MSG are the best type 1 playing from Trey since 2015. The energy, assertive playing, and dexterity that he's been playing with over the past few nights feels different than anything I have seen from him. He's nailing the intricate stuff (Sugar Shack, Foam, Horn) with a precision that he's lacked in prior years. He's shredding harder on the rockers (Llama, Izabella) as well, and the Type 1 jamming (Theme, Jibboo, Stash etc.) has been terrific. Overall these shows feel a tick back from fall 2021 (IMO, the high water mark of 3.0/4.0) due to the big jams being a bit less interesting to my ears + a few tougher setlist calls over the past few nights, but the band hasn't sounded this good in a long while, IMHO.

In that same thread I said 7/28 was my best show since Lemonwheel and I stand by it. Seems like they are firing on all cylinders. That show was flubless as far as I could tell.

That is a controversial opinion but I dig it!! I would say these shows are a tick beneath my true top tier favorite shows witnessed (10/29/21, 10/28/21, 8/12/15, 7/13/14), because setlist flow is important to me & each of these nights had a few calls that didn't land 100%. But the sheer playing & quality of the music is absolutely up there for me. Really awesome stuff.
