Review by forbin1

forbin1 Going into this show after a great night one...expectations were pretty high..I liked this show...not as much as the night before..but nonetheless..still enjoyed it...the pre-planned whiteout seemed like a bust as I did not see that many white shirts...oh well..it was still a good idea..

Set I

Sloth: Liked this as an opener...played well...got the place going

YEM: did not see this coming...thought this would be either night 3 or 4...not a monster yem..but still could hold it's own...trey didn't do his little dance routnine while Mike dropped bombs...perhaps it was because it was in the beginning of the set...rather than at the end...either way...I was happy to catch it...since it seems to have dropped out of the rotation a little bit...

BOTT: I always liked this song...thought the jam went smoothly...but also it seemed that the set was starting to go off in different directions...

MOMA: this had the crowd grooving...pretty solid for the most part...

Funky Bitch: thought this was really well played...loud as hell...page killing it...definte highlight of set I

Maze: I'm a big fan of maze..seemed that this version was a little bit off at times...but was happy to hear it...

Roses: I was really excited to finally catch a roses...my first one since summer 00...thought this version might be rocked out...but as quickly as it started it ended....It didn't matter...just happy to hear it...

Halley's: Nothing out of the ordinary with this one...pretty much just a big sing along...

Antelope: All I could think about was the 97 msg antelope when this started up...I know I shouldn't compare...sometimes it's hard not to...either way...a loud antelope is always a good one I say..and that's what this was...

Highlights of set I: Funky Bitch, Roses

Set II

Crosseyed: They took a few minutes to themselves when they came out for set II...quite a bit of talking amongst themselves...had a feeling that it wasn't going to be an ordinary set opener...When this started up..I kept thinking that this was going to be one of those memorable msg sets...I like that this has been getting more and more play as of late...

Simple: this was a really fun version...crowd was very into it..as were the boys...

Lifeboy: Really? This was a complete surprise..my first one...couldn't have been more happier...

Guyute: I like guyute...it's got the happiness and darkness all mixed up together...pretty decent version...

Mike's : Again, thought this might be saved for the 30th or 31st...but everyone, including myself were really pumped up for this...In the back of my mind I was hoping the set would close out with a monster mike's groove...

Chalkdust: This was a complete surprise...as I was expecting "I am Hydrogen" as I'm sure a lot of people were...I liked the placement..it kept the pace going at a nice rate...

Hydrogen: the jam out of CDT was worked really well into hydrogen..and a definite highlight of set II

Weekapaugh: I thought this was one of the better versions as of late...crowd was pumped...nice pace..really well played and yes..a highlight of set II

Show of Life: Still on the fence with this one...maybe after a few more versions I'll convert...

Charachter Zero: Was really loud...an ok tune for closing out the set...I would have preferred Golgi or Slave..but beggers cannot be choosers...

Encore: Loving cup: I actually like loving cup as an encore...they play it well...crowd gets really into it...another big sing along...thought the encore might get another song or two...but was ended after one song..

Highlights set II: Simple, Lifeboy, Mike's Groove
