Review by MrPalmers1000DollarQ

MrPalmers1000DollarQ A nice show to kick off an absolutely historic run. Ultimately didn't think the performance was stellar (Reba was fairly rocky, some missed cues in Moonage Daydream, and Trey's voice definitely lost some oomph by the end of the night), but I'm taking this with a grain of salt given the two weeks to come. Really liked the song choices. Thought it was fun that they set up the Tweezer / Tweeprise bookends from the get go, as well.

Setlist Thoughts
- Shake Your Coconuts brought a super fun energy to kick off the night. With Martian Monster as a more traditional follow up full of flash from all four members, the night is off to a strong start.
- Timber slips into major territory, arguably due to a mistake on Trey's end. As they say in jazz, though, when you play a wrong note, you just gotta play it again to make everyone think it was on purpose. The jam builds nicely before landing smoothly back into minor territory to wrap up the tune.
- Reba was a bit rough. Even at the slower pace, the composed section gave the boys a little bit of trouble. This is unfortunately one of the more consistent downsides of 3.0, but I try to hold off until the end of the jam to solidify my thoughts. While not especially spectacular, Reba always itches what it needs to. No whistling, but Moonage Daydream filled the singalong space for me.
- Walls of the Cave isn't one of my favorite tunes...until the upbeat part comes in. the band rides this one into the sunset with a ton of energy.
- Tweezer N1? Wonder what the last song of the run will be.... Jam is pretty subdued until the last couple minutes, where they finish in grand 3.0 fashion with an almost Bathtub Gin chord change.
- Seven Below is jammed out pretty nicely. Not my absolute favorite, but another fun 3.0 exploration.
- Everything's Right felt like it had a little more left in the tank, but I supposed we are all slaves to the traffic light.
- Coconut was a nice touch, though the sweeter dessert here was the Mango Song > GTBT encore.
