Ok, since you all have asked, I didn't provide much detail on the first set partly b/c I wanted to get the recap up as soon as I could and I just didn't think there was a whole lot to say about it. But CTB was a solid opener, STFTFP was pretty standard I thought, Ginseng I thought was actually quite enjoyable. Wolfman's in 3.0 usually feels like it takes me to the cusp of a great jam before returning back to the Wolfman's theme. This one didn't even get to that cusp. Sparkle was Sparkle.... really, what more is there to say about it? Walk Away... to those of you praising this Walk Away, I suggest you go and listen to some of the other post-6/17/10 versions. This was simply not a great version of this song. Divided Sky was pretty well played as far as I can remember. I love the song, but I can't say it really stood out good or bad. Melt, I hear the points about the risk taking and I generally agree (although I'd point out that they've been taking the same general dark whale calling risk with this song for the better part of 4 yrs now), but this simply wasn't well executed. And the ending was painful. Sorry. In any event, all of these thoughts are simply my opinions. If you loved the set, that's great. I had a great time during the set!!! It was a fantastic night, but looking back critically, those are my thoughts. YMMV.
Pretty much exactly what I thought (minus the kittens) but your line about "Wolfman's in 3.0 usually feels like it takes me to the cusp of a great jam before returning back to the Wolfman's theme. This one didn't even get to that cusp." is sooooo on. I was there saying, "waaah, it's over already?"

That being said, this DwD from about minute 16 on has me bouncing in my office chair. For some reason, Trey is totally evoking Dickey Betts in my mind.
