Re: Best Jeff Coffin solo?

His 41 solos in 2009 were very good. Maybe not his best but that was where I personally started to feel that he was a true part of the band versus the new guy.

    It's a musical travesty that Jeff no longer solos on #41. That song has lost its soul. I can't fathom what factors lead Jeff to stop soloing on the band's premier saxophone composition. The musical interaction that occurred between Carter and Jeff was magical. It's unconscionable bullshit that Jeff's solo was dropped so Timmy could have another opportunity to shred like he's in an 80s hair metal band. It's befuddling that people were vocally pissed when Grey Street lost its third verse but many fans seem alright that #41 has had its heart disemboweled. #41 is one of the best songs in the band's canon but it's been awful in the live setting for the last decade. Jeff is criminally underutilized in DMB.

    I agree that LT 22 is an absolute monster when it comes to showcasing Jeff's solos. One of my favorite live trax for that reason.

    Not sure if this counts since Jeff was technically not part of the band then, but I would submit:

    Bartender and Watchtower from 7-25-2001.

    Came here to post this. That solo is incredible. I’m pretty sure he conjured a mythical being by playing that.

    Personally, I like the emotion from his bartender solo the night that roi passed. It feels weird liking it, but it’s blatantly obvious that the band was pouring their heart into those notes. I can’t help but be moved by it.

    I wish they'd give Bismarck more plays because what Jeff started doing with his end solos on that song gives me chills.

    Re: Best Jeff Coffin solo?

    This one was already mentioned above and is another great solo:
    Two Step - 4.21.2002 - Le Centre Molson, Montreal, QC, CAN

    https://youtu.be/EENCET0cNkY

    Jeff starts after Victor Wooten, around 12:30, becomes insane at 13:40 and the crowd gets ecstatic at 14:30. Wow!
    I love also at 15:20 when is having fun with Roi. Watching those 2 guys together is always so strange and great. They are again together, side by side, at 20:00.

    That performance was the day after the Corel Center, Ottawa, which has that longest #41, and I remember also there that Roi was watching Jeff blowing his soul.

    I agree with the general concept that Sniper has expressed few comments above: if you have a saxophonist like Jeff, why don't you use him in his full potential? I also feel that, slowly, in the last decade, Jeff has been put in a corner, and there are jams where he can't still blow out a fire (#41 is one of them, of course, but not only).

    Watching Jeff on his corner on Raleigh show (7.23.2021) while Brandford Marsalis makes his show, for me is quite sad. That was a moment of the show, of course, but it seems also a metaphor on his diminishing role in the band. I don't know if the "musical director" has anything to do with that, and I find difficult to imagine that RR prefers to give more space to Tim's guitar instead of the guy next to him.

    I have made a selection of all the great Jeff solo performances mentioned above, and put them in a single playlist, to listen one after another, and I tell you, it is great stuff. For the people interested, PM me, and I'll link you the playlist.

    Best Jeff Coffin solo?

    I’ve just heard this version of Lying In The Hands Of God from 05.15.2015, Maryland Heights, MO on “What Would You Play” on SiriusXM (episode from Adam Leebow).

    https://images2.imgbox.com/7c/8f/55ZYbHed_o.png

    This is not exactly a solo, but a duet with Nicholas Payton on trumpet. F***ing awesome.

    The ones prior to Ross, where he screws everything up.
    Roi knew how to let Jeff shine and didn't need to try and steal the spotlight

    This is not a fair comment. Jeff was a guest when he played with Roi. Ross and Coffin have been bandmates for 13 years.
