Those "swirling" tones on keys ruins it for me, like nuts in pastries. After reading the new RS interview of Chris Robinson, I suspect CR believes everything is just right:
CR: "I identify with that. The outsider part. The weirdo part. The CRB, when we're onstage and everything is cooking and everything is going – and that happens a lot – it's exactly where I want to be."
At another point, it appears CR is making an attempt at "damage control":
RS: "It's reminiscent of the approach of the Grateful Dead, a band you've talked openly about your love for. Though recently, in an interview with Howard Stern, you also seemed to criticize their recent activities."
CR: "The only thing I would say about that, is, you know, go to the show. Go and have fun. I said what I said because I've been doing this for 30 years. And it's not so much about what's going on onstage. It's how it got there. But my personal opinion shouldn't have anything to do with you going and enjoying yourself. At the end of the day, those guys are ... that is a hugely successful tour. Everyone is making millions and millions of dollars. Good. Awesome. ... I dig it. I said what I said, go have fun at the shows. That's it."

I heard the interview live
I heard the interview live and I don't think it's damage control. Chris considers himself a head, his wife too, and he had an opinion on Mayer carrying the torch. Bobby never gave Chris a job and Phil has. Anyone invloved in that tour was making more bank than 95% of bands out on the road. I'm not a big fan but power to anyone involved & most importantly who cares what any of us think!?

I couldnt agree more with you
I couldnt agree more with you regarding Adam's tone. It has that "hurdy-gurdy - circus" tone to me.
I dig these guys sound except for Adam's.
