ThinManI got to say that this was the most fun I have had a TAB show since the NYE run of 2006. The playing was inspired, the energy through the roof and just an all around great time.

The whole show felt a bit more introspective then your run of the mill TAB show which was cemented by a fantastic setlist that was far more unique then the rest of the tour. Obviously the rockers stood out per usual with Last Tube, Night Speaks & Mr. C standing out, but the real gravy of this show are the delicacies of Greyhound, Words to Wonda, Case of Ice & Snow, Way I Feel and Ether Sunday. All delivered with passion. All beautifully done.

Then you throw in Spin (the "with" jam being a major highlight), Valentine and Plasma and you have a complete show.
Score: 3

lumpblockclodThis was a really enjoyable TAB show, and Trey was pretty clearly dialed in. First set highlights include some creative rhythm playing from Trey during the Night Speaks jam, the Hendrix-like jam that came out of Spin and really the whole Spin, Scabbard, Ice&Snow, Traveller run. Much better than it may look on paper. While they don't pack the same jamming punch, it was also great to catch the relatively infrequently played Greyhound Rising, Wherever You Find It and Words to Wanda.

Set II was even better. Most everything was played well, but Plasma and The Way I Feel really stood out from the rest. Plasma featured a slowed down, atmospheric jam that they could have played the for the rest of the night as far as I was concerned. Way I Feel also got low, slow and deep. Both songs are about as good as TAB gets these days. Ether Sunday was amusing, as Trey incorporated the band intros into the song. Unlike Phish, I haven't heard every 3.0 TAB show, but I have heard probably half. And, if there's a better show than this, I haven't heard it.
