Back after a short hiatus from the west coast run. Just not easy to stay up that late from Alabama. Funny the times we live in: got miracled from the couch. Buddy purchased the webcast and then let me watch it from his account. It’s in that spirit of giving that we arrive at Dick’s. A band that has been in the giving spirit at a venue that is the definition of a gift that keeps on giving.

As the 10 year anniversary of the Dick’s run kicked off the boys seemed to bring the heat to what felt like a very front loaded show. 46 days I mmediately stepped into type 2 territory and that theme was pervasive throughout the first stand. Stand outs of the first set were Timber and Carini. Timber’s short but complete thought of a jam sequence hit the spot and Carini closed like a swift kick to the…

With ASIHTOS In the second spot I thought we were finally going deep but after a succinct jam then gave way to the bands favorite jam vehicle of late: CDT. I was fine with getting CDT’d.

The second set was strong but if this were a bout of sets, numero uno was the unanimous decision.

Overall strong showing and bodes well for the remainder of the holiday weekend.

Mahalo Nui,
