spreaditround SET 1:

Axilla: Standard. >

Stash: Wowzers, freaking BONKERS! Crowd and band are in lockstep. This Stash is absolutely crushed. Huge tension and release. How can this possibly not be a jamcharts version? Laughable.

Farmhouse: Standard.

Taste: Page kills his solo, very impressive! Like summer 97 versions! Strong section from Trey but the real winner here is Page. That stuff from him was unreal.

Sleep: Place was about to spontaneously combust so perhaps this was needed.

Albuquerque: Standard.

Driver: Standard.

Tube: Standard. >

Golgi Apparatus: Standard. >

Good Times Bad Times: Standard.

SET 2:

Carini: Deep, deep space jam. Just way out there! An all timer for sure. >

Wolfman's Brother: Crazy how slow the pace is in the composed section. Good stuff. The jam gets way, way out there like the one from Halloween. It’s like music that was made by people who were on lots of drugs for people who were also on lots of drugs. It’s definitely an acquired taste and for most people you would need to be in the proper headspace to truly enjoy a lot of this. It surely is an all timer though. Most of these thoughts also apply to the Carini.

Birds of a Feather: Standard

When the Circus Comes: Standard.

Quinn the Eskimo (The Mighty Quinn) – Standard ->

David Bowie: Standard.

ENCORE:

Been Caught Stealing: Standard.

Summary: The first had this wild energy that was infectious. Not sure what happened backstage at set break but the approach they took coming out for the second set was night and day difference. The current rating of 4.171/5 (140 ratings) feels like an accurate representation of what this show brought to the table.

Replay Value: Stash, Taste, Carini, Wolfman's Brother
