Review by bakersdozen

bakersdozen Tonight was a tale of two sets. The first set was solid but felt flubby and awkward at times. There were absolutely strong moments but it paled in comparison to the second set which is one in a long list of impeccable second sets at the garden.

Trey was so busy causing seismic activity during the second set that he completely forgot to play Weekapaug. The second set opened strong with Mikes Song that included an extended secondary jam that stands out as one of the best moments of summer tour. Sand was a solid bridge and the sped up Cross Eyer had the building rocking and brought the energy to the next level. They were quick to cool it down but finished strong bringing the crowd back with Lizards before wrapping up the set with a soaring rendition of While My Guitar Gently Weepss.

Trey was very deliberate in kicking Mike a bass solo in the afterthought weekapaug which set the tone for a solid encore. Fluff is always a great finish. Overall, the second set was the best set of music they’ve played during their visit to the garden.

We wooks need to know when the last time he opened a set with a Mike and didn’t play weekapaug until the encore. Data kings please add this to the archives.
