spreaditround SET 1: Piper, AC/DC Bag: Tons of fire coming out of the gate. Ragers.

Suzy Greenberg: Cool breakdown in the middle led by Page.

Meat, Meatstick: Meh. Meatstick gets quite spacy.

Run Like an Antelope: A bit too mellow for my taste.

First set summary: Had a ton of momentum out of the gate but Meat and Meatstick kill it. Antelope couldn’t rescue it. Super short set at 58 minutes.

SET 2: Halley's Comet: Fantastic, really has that ’99 sound going for it. Lots of loops! Eventually settles and spaces out >

Tweezer: Slooooow intro. Nice! This jam is about as spacey and ambient as you will ever find. And very, very long.

Bug: Standard.

Fee: Nicely jammed, repetitive but cool.

Harry Hood: When the jam is early and quiet you can hear what I assume was a glow stick drill Fish’s kit (I assume), it is so loud. This Hood is fantastic! Maybe not the biggest peak as it kind of slides in there. But for 99 this is an awesome version.

We're Not Gonna Take It > Chalk Dust Torture: Pretty cool cover w/ Tom. I would agree with another reviewer – why play CDT after that? Just drop the mic and head backstage and prepare for the encore.

ENCORE: The Squirming Coil, Tweezer Reprise: Standard.

Second set summary: Halley’s, Tweezer and Hood are all worthy of relistens. This is a really good set. The first set detracts from the overall show. I would rate this show as a solid 3.7 out of 5.
