JP Improvising on TSCO? - And related

[wasteland]

Here's a cool bit I found watching videos from the ongoing tour. In Katowice, John apparently decided to have a small improvisation on the closing solo of TSCO, or more likely hit a wrong note and recovered the melody with a great display of style and a little flair before carrying on with the usual melody.

Here's the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymJqg_CQEmU&t=5m35s

I like this specific variation quite a lot, and as many here I'd love if those took place more often, possibly on purpose! 

The improvisational side of DT on stage has always been one of their absolute best features, and even though nowadays it's not as evident and upfront as it used to be in the past, it's heartwarming to see from time to time a few drops of their talent in that department filtering through the walls!

I think it was a mistake.Great show, by the way

I think it was probably a mistake too, but the mark of a great musician like JP is the ability to recover without anyone knowing for sure one way or another. And the end result sounded good and new, so I dug it!

In Prague He played like always.

So he did in Rome yesterday. It's a shame he didn't keep it, it sounded refreshing and pleasant to my ears! I love extended outro solos in general, and JP sure has proved himself to be extremely proficient in those in the past!

The first alteration almost sounds like it was intentional, altho there was the slip up at 6:03 that definitely was not intentional.

But yeah, I like little things like that - mistakes that they manage to pull off and go back into the song as if it was intentionally done. Can't remember what show I was listening to, but there was an occasion like that and the way JP played it off was awesome. Definitely would love to see some of those mistakes become intentional things!

Yeah, one of my greatest problems with DT as of late is their predictability. I would also like more things like that.

Toughest thing about guitar, and vocals, is that mistakes are glaringly obvious, can't really hide them.  Great little short improv to recover though.
