I've (re)discovered the most beautiful sound in the universe, and it's Gnostic Trio.

#bigears

Sunday preaching freeform from Lonnie Holley with an allstar backing band.

Remember Drums and Tuba? This is like that, without the drums. Theon Cross.

#bigears

Gonna try to squeeze in as many acts as possible today. Even more so. Lol. See how it goes.

#bigears

Nate Wooley playing Eliane Radigue, the opening explanation of the piece/composer was fascinating. The "music" has mostly induced coughing fits throughout the crowd. Also fascinating.

#bigears

Brian Marsella/Trevor Dunn/Kenny Wolleson dreamy af playing Zorn's Bagatelles at the Tennessee, but quick scooter ride to the Mill and Mine for some hitting-the-spot bluegrass with the always-fab Sierra Hull.

Earplugs-in jazz courtesy of James Brandon Lewis, backed by Josh Warner + Chad Taylor.

Didn't see absolutely *everything* today, but pretty damn close. Kinda crushed it kinda. Kinda. Final stretch...

#bigears

A massive theater in Tennessee, of all places, filled up with people going nuts for the most wild-eyed of John Zorn projects is some **wild** shit, man. But it gives me faith.

The whiplash of genre, venue, volume, crowd, style, etc as I hop from set to set can be dizzying. I personally love it, but I don't think this pace is for everyone and you certainly can build your Big Ears into something completely your own and no less awe-inspiring.

Been a long while since last I saw Ribot's Los Cubanos, what a great way to bring the end of this weekend into view.

And *that* is how you livemusic, my friends. 80ish sets in 4 days.

Hope I can find some time to put some thoughts together. Feel free to bug me about it if I don't. Thanks for following along all weekend.

@Neddyo and thanks for letting those of us home follow along and live vicariously through you!

@Neddyo Quite an amazing list. I'm in for next year!
