Brian Moss’ commitment to improvisation runs deep—so deep that this past November he and his Spafford band members thought up a little experiment. Instead of taking the stage themselves at Globe Hall in Denver, they asked their crew to hop up there for the first few minutes of the second set. Pretty soon the guitar tech was throwing down bass lines and the lighting director piano melodies, constructing a groove for the band to take over blind. The result? Spafford played for 40 uninterrupted minutes over the original refrain, filled with all of the soaring interplay that’s become familiar territory at Spafford shows.
