It's an unusually patient performance during a period that has too few of those.<br /><br />I *love* After Midnight, and this is not bad. I fudged my words - it's not as good as it could have been, IMO. Which would mean I have very high expectations!Fate Musichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05648291938690043423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18366371.post-51815128847695620502014-03-27T18:12:45.324-06:002014-03-27T18:12:45.324-06:00Great write up as usual!

I also like this one a lot. To my ears, it's a rare example of this band actually taking their time and really feeling things out, rather than just locking & loading and blasting off. Melvin and Jimmy Warren both seem pretty tuned in to each other, which wasn't always the case either. The other DLG's from this period that stand out in my mind are 6/16/82 and 6/18/82 (both have a distinctly different flavor, imho), but this one is also top notch. Good call!<br /><br />Funny enough, though, I remember thinking that the After Midnight was one of the *better* things in the first set! (cheesy arrangement notwithstanding). ha.
