Review by Divided_Stash

Divided_Stash Suzy Greenburg: nice choice for the tour opener

Cities: outro stays within the theme, while a bit extended

Kill Devil Falls: nice Trey solo

Guelah Papyrus: played well

Cool It Down: nice rare cover with some Mike action at the end

Rift: standard

Stash: average lil type 1 build

Bouncing Around The Room: standard

Bathtub Gin: stays type 1 but the peak is fabulous

Quinn The Eskimo: high energy to close the first set

Rock And Roll: here it is pholks. Starting the second set is the longest song of 3.0 before the Tahoe Tweezer. Settles down into a satisfying mellow groove that has ambient pieces. After sticking with this general theme for a while it morphs with some spacy effects from Trey and Mike with some sporadic drumming from Fish, before some bass bombs and a transition into

Ghost: after the monster RnR we get more type 2 jamming here. Fish locks onto a fantastic groove with some great Trey and Page interplay. Afterwards Trey finds a nice lick to build around before they break off again in great fashion with Roggae lyrics mixed in

Limb By Limb: fun playing from Trey

Guyute: performed very well

Dirt: standard

Harry Hood: Trey uses a nice effect to make the first build a bit nicer, and they even break free for a bit with a quiet jam with Trey using a watery effect. The peak is tremendous as always

Good Times Bad Times: fun high energy set closer

Julius: more high energy to close the show

In my opinion this show is the turning point of 3.0. If I divide the era into 2 major sectors it's before this show and here on. The late summer tour 2012 is the big return of type 2 jamming and this second set starts it off greatly. The first set is pretty average though. But whether you say it's a great show itself or not, its significance can’t be understated. This is an 8.5/10. Highlights are Stash, Gin, Rock And Roll, Ghost, and Hood
