Their bass and keys are solid too - keys uses a grand and a Hammond proficiently. The jams are tricky, lots of red herrings, lots of homages to rock classics. Hairpin musical turns. Their vocalist does a spot on Bobby. The only thing lacking is that transcendent soulfulness - they can’t handle the power ballads. It’s the strongest at capturing that dead sound - almost dead - arguably better than Dead & Co but I had many issues with Meyer until the very end.
