spreaditround SET 1: Peaches en Regalia: Huge bustout, had been shelved since December 31, 1994 (144 shows). Awesome! >

Poor Heart: Trey sounds awesome. >

Cavern > Cars Trucks Buses, Character Zero: Standard.

The Curtain: Vocals sound great. >

Down with Disease: Nicely extended versus what had been seen/heard previously on this tour. Really good jam!

Train Song, The Horse > Silent in the Morning, Sample in a Jar: Standard. >

Run Like an Antelope: Huge, huge peak. Face melter!

SET 2: Tweezer: Live Bait 11. This is your typical 96 Tweezer until 10:15 when things take a turn for the dissonant, evil and weird. Twisted Fish cackle at 10:50. Around 13, Trey jumps on his drum kit and things get decidedly funky but still weird. Trey back on the doc at 14.5 and in a big way. Big solo, ripping it up. This ends quickly and is right into what sounds to me like the Moma Death March from 6.17.04. Lots of Fish antics in here. The last couple of minutes are false endings, and band antics. >

Sparkle: Fish obviously was feeling no pain, check this one out. >

Simple: Very, very cool. Has an almost three minute jam that is quite good, big fan. ->

A Day in the Life: Killer segue but wish they would have kept jamming that Simple, it was really getting there…

Reba: Very speedy and briefly funky after the composed. Plinko type stuff around 8:20. Turns out to be a good, but not a great Reba.

Swept Away > Steep > Tweezer Reprise > Johnny B. Goode: Standard. >

Slave to the Traffic Light: I remember this being a good bit better than what I just listened to. I was listening carefully as well. It’s solid but nothing too crazy. Great closer though.

ENCORE: Highway to Hell – Perfect encore!

Killer Tweezer, big Peaches bustout and then good versions of DWD, Reba, Slave, and Simple. This is a very good show, top to bottom! I would rate it as a 3.9 out of a 5.
