spreaditround SET 1:

Sigma Oasis: Ripped up the front and down the back. Fantastic way to start this show!

The 9th Cube: I’ll be ok if I never hear this again.

Theme From the Bottom: Standard.

Cool Amber and Mercury: Trey is feeling feisty. Like Sigma, he rips this one a new one.

555: Solid. >

Bathtub Gin: This one gets weird almost right out of the gate; Mike has that meatball effect working well for him. Love it! Very funky and chunky jam, great stuff. At 10:24 they kick it into overdrive and Trey guides them out of the murk. By 10:50 it’s definitely going major mode. The next two minute are high velocity jamming. Really enjoyed this and would happily recommend, very fun version!

Broken Into Pieces: It’s fine. The placement fit well here coming off that hot Gin jam. Decent tune if played sparingly.

Reba: Awesome version. Very intentional playing from all. Thrilling ramp up to the climax. Well done! Would recommend! >

Chalk Dust Torture: The beginning is off and awkward. Standard version other than that.

SET 2:

Mike's Song: Decent first jam. Second jam starts at 7:33 – woo hoo! Big effects right out of the gates. Things stay dark into until around 11 minutes. They get lighter for a few minutes and then things get intense again. The band showing flashes of its old self in the complete body of work in this jam. It’s great! An all timer I dare say. >

Prince Caspian: Broadway Trey to the absolute max. Awful. >

No Men In No Man's Land: Solid face melter. ->

Prince Caspian: So dumb to go back into this. So Trey.

It's Ice: Standard. >

Pillow Jets: Ugh, these lyrics. So bad. The jam is strong though. But those lyrics… ->

Weekapaug Groove: Standard.

Twist: Standard. >

Slave to the Traffic Light: Very good version.

ENCORE:

Joy: Not going to lie, I like this song in this slot every now and then. Trey kills this one, really showing off.

Buffalo Bill: Standard.

Wilson: Standard. >

First Tube: Standard.

Summary: Super solid first set with two great jams! Second set obviously comes charging out of the gates. The rest of the set is fine but there isn’t any replay value there. First set > second set for sure. 3.75/5.

Replay Value: Sigma Oasis, Bathtub Gin, Mike’s Song
