MDosque Just got back to DC from my trip home to Philly and the Mann. I have to say that I enjoyed this show more than Tuesday - here's why... Trey was absolutely on and the general interplay between band members was to notch. I felt like Tuesday the couldn't really get it going on the same page but this was a Trey show through and through. He was motivated, happy, and focused on some serious guitar work. Sure, a lot of it was "type 1" but I don't really care about those distinctions. He was VERY creative within all of the songs of the first set in particular. I used Sugar Shack to hit the facilities and when I came back Alaska was just kicking in. I don't really like the song, but again, Trey came to play. He sounded terrific. The Antelope was psychedelic fire with the echo effects coming in really handy making it my favorite version seen in 3.0 out of 3 (I think - Bader 2012 and one of the MPP shows). This version was smoking. The CDT was beautiful and was truly a group effort that paid off for me. Loved the Wingsuit placement and while I like Winterqueen a LOT, I felt like the crowd did sag a little and if Wingsuit went into something old school, this set would have the entire fanbase screaming epic. Good version, but perhaps not the best placement on this night. Twist was ok and because I smartly chugged water (and a lot of beer) I went again during Waste. I love Waste, but after seeing in from the MPP pit last summer 10 feet from Trey, I felt comfortable exploring the lawn during it. Mike's was pure fire off the hook straight through the Groove, which again, I think was the best I've seen since the 90's. All in all, what makes a great show for me is the energy, intention, and quality of playing no matter what the song choices really are. This night had it big time and the band was very collaborative with Trey taking the main lead - which is just how I like it. Great little two-night stand with Wed edging out Tuesday in my opinion.
