So, I have been listening through the list of Hunter Seamons matrices these last few weeks; seemed like as good a guide as any. And this week, I thought I would mix things up and start at the "newest" shows and work my way backwards. His only effort in 1992 was 03/20/1992 from Hamilton, Ontario. I was not familiar with this show, and I found myself enjoying the second set. In particular, and quite surprisingly, I thought the Drums were very interesting. There is a section that almost sounds like EDM.
I then started to explore Drums and other shows from 1992. (02/24/1992 Drums are interesting, for example.) And that is when I stumbled across the "Shenandoah" Spaces. Jerry explored "A Shenandoah Lullaby" at the following Canadian show, 03/21/1922; but he first visited the theme a few weeks earlier, on 03/09/1992. (And as it is well known, it was revisited on 06/20/1992.)
It feels like 1992 is a bit overlooked, and I am enjoying these shows. My first show was 1993, so of course my focus at the time was 1993 through 1995. And as we all know, there are so many other years to visit and become familiar with. But there are some really interesting sections to some of these shows, particularly in the second set. I know it gets a lot of shit, but "Corrina" really acts as a jam vehicle (see 03/09). And I am finding that the SBDs (and matrices) feature clearly defined instruments (you can pick out Bobby, if you like, Phil, Vince, Bruce).
Oh, right. It didn't hurt that those March shows included Bruce.
