This was an interesting one to bring my family to for their first show. The first set started strong and there was great play in Evolve and Mull. Personally was a little disappointed by the Stash, but Bowie closed the set strong.

The second set left me a little dissatisfied, especially with Ether Edge. This was the only song that my mom (at 60 y/o) was able to melodically follow, and that's because (sorry mom) it is a campy and churchy tune (see "Lord I Lift Your Name On High"). I prayed I'd never see it again, but the band threw it in the otherwise sublime first set in Nashville 10/7/23.

Ultimately the purpose of this review is to advocate for Free in the Jam Charts. While this version is nothing like Cuyahoga, if the goal of a Jam Chart is to change the way we perceive a song, this version accomplished this. Not only was I personally transcended by this Free, but in re-convening with a few friends after the show, I was told I was not alone in this ("I've never heard a Free like that;" "Really liked that last one[sister]"; "The Free though??").

Overall great showing in Huntsville, great two shows to kick off the tour
