The Summer 2025 Tour comes to an end one day before the beginning of Fall. 31 shows in total. The first half of the summer brought with it a clear intent: exploration and improvisation. The band stretched out, hitting a landing zone of patience, confidence, and serenity. As they wove through the country, spitting out gems such as the Pittsburgh "What's Going Through Your Mind", the Austin "Golden Age", and the Mann "Sand", energy grew.

This all culminated in the clear high-point, the final show of the first leg at SPAC. An energy-fueled, relentless night that fired on all cylinders from start to finish. And so the question was, what would the second leg bring for these final eight shows of summer? The band collected themselves and dusted off a variety of quality shows. It seemed as though they were going to play all eight shows with no repeats, most notably holding back "Tweezer" for the first night at Hampton. Though a few repeats did eventually show up, it's abundantly clear that sometimes restriction and restraint prove to unlock the band further, and give them far more freedom to stretch songs into jams.
