This is proof that you don’t need 30+ minute jams to have a legendary show. Set 1 opened hot and heavy with Mike’s and it didn’t cool down until Theme and then heated right back up until Evolve, which were both placed perfectly in the set and executed to perfection. Meatstick and Boogie On took a couple moments in the show to remind everyone that we’re here to have fun too, and the best way to describe everything else from Bowie through to Carini is just the image from last year of Page’s stage monitor reading “FUCKING PROFESSIONAL MUSICIANS”.
Aside from Page being a little too eager to start Carini, there isn’t a single flubbed line or missed note and the jams are short, tight, and absolute scorchers. I can’t believe this is a criteria but YEM had one of the best vocal jams in a while, and who would’ve thought a show with a Number Line encore would be this good? To think that something like this came from a band that’s 41 years into their career, what are they going to pull out of their sleeves next?
