I thought Trey did a fantastic job. He is tight as hell and really holds it down. His playing reminds me a lot of Prairie's style. It was interesting hearing TR covering the missing keyboard lines in "Hit Me Like A Train", and "Temporary Sanity". It somehow works though. "World Wide Epiphony" is the ultimate closer.
A couple of side notes; It was a pleasure meeting Cathy Lee and seeing all the same nameless faces I see at every Chicago show. After the show, the night nearly came to a tragic end. We left Navy Pier and were approaching the Dan Ryan Expressway, when we turned right into a safety check roadblock. They had every single car pulled over and you had to enter it. We were doing the ceremonial after concert passing of the pipe, and the Ford Explorer smelled fresh. Miraculously, the sherriff checked my ID, and let us go! So.... be careful out there this weekend. They are doing the big holiday weekend checks out there.
We're off to Kalamazoo for round two. Of course we're going to be very careful.
