SET 1: Ghost: Type I all the way, tons of energy out of the gate and intent is clear that they mean serious business tonight! >

David Bowie: Something is off about the introduction. I can’t hear Mike and his typical base line at all which leads me to believe this really screwed up the timing of the rest of the band? This has to be the shortest version in a very long time clocking in at just under 9 minutes.

Esther: Nailed this, absolutely crushed it. Lovely! >

Harry Hood: Whoa, seriously? Three heavy hitters with a rarity played in between them to open the show. Crazy stuff! Very standard version here though. >

Meat: Never been much of a fan, but this one seemed really short which is fine by me, cool transition into… >

Split Open and Melt: Broadway Trey’d. This one goes down that deep, dark hole awash in effects as typical these past many years. But, unlike many recent versions this one claws out of this hole and has some excellent jamming led by Trey and Fish. They truly crush this starting around 9 minutes through about 12 and a half minutes. Would recommend this version for sure!

Leaves: Nice, little jam. Little bit whaley though. >

The Squirming Coil: Broadway Trey’d to the max, horrible. What is he doing? What does the band think of these ‘vocals?’ Nice way to end a very good set.

SET 2: Chalk Dust Torture: Trey’s tone is spectacular to kick off the jam. Love the creepy effects in the early ten minute range, they don’t last too long but still, big fan. Exceptional hose peak in the late 20’s and early 21’s. Awesome, all timer Chalk Dust right here. Crazy good. Bit of a Trey rip cord as he yanks the band into Twist and hangs ‘em out to dry briefly ->

Twist: Standard and short. >

Also Sprach Zarathustra: Super effects heavy. Some crazy sounds in throughout the five minute range. This would have been a ton of fun in person! Still plenty of fun listening at home too, great version – would recommend! >

Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley: Page drives this into really cool, dark territory around 6:20 – well done sir! Wish Mike was louder in here. Page switches to the baby grand around 7:10 and we are off and running, great pace! Killer jam would recommend! >

Back on the Train: Hmmm, didn’t see this coming but it certainly keeps the energy very high. Super tight and fun jam. Trey burns it down in the 6:10 jam, rock and roll!

A Life Beyond The Dream: Check out Broadway Trey ripping it at 6:05!

First Tube: Appropriate, close out a high energy show with a high energy tune.

ENCORE: Run Like an Antelope: Absolutely smokes, red hot version, wow! Would recommend!

Replay Value: Split Open and Melt, Chalk Dust Torture (all timer), 2001, Sneakin’ Sally Through the Alley, Run Like an Antelope

Summary: Show is definitely sick, and I see myself revisiting it yearly. Tons of highlights with one that stands above the rest, that Chalk Dust is great! Those of you fortunate enough to have attended, you sure got hosed! I would rate this as a 4.3 out of 5.
