It was a really exciting show. Everyone had a great time, including the trio, themselves. They were really in tune with each other and obviously listening their asses off.

It was a combination of tunes by Tony, Miles and members of the band.

They did an amazing version of "In A Silent Way". It started with near silence and Jack hitting some bell-like cymbals followed by the band slowly joining quietly. No indication of the tune yet, but when Jack started the metronome-like snare of IASW, it was magic. They must have flowed through that for at least 20 minutes.

The show lasted a full 2 hours, which is unusual for a Yoshi's show. They usually wrap things up after about an hour and a half.

I wonder if they will reprise this in the future.
