Nice write up. The photos do look amazing, must have been quite a spectacle.

First impression on listening is that the Carini> Crosseyed> Twist> Piper is an outstanding segment. It's nice to see that major key shift coming back in Carini, it made for a few great versions on Fall Tour and this one fits right in with those. Nice to see some exploration in Crosseyed. I think the Piper was a keeper, it wasted no time getting into abstract territory, forgoing the usual frenetic shred-jam. Could have gone on longer in the same vein, the Mike's riff was indeed inserted a bit crudely. Wouldn't go as far as saying Joy ruined the set but it does sound a bit jarring in juxtaposition, it's a big step down in energy from the peak of Mike's...

From the AUD it seems like the H.Bowl was a challenging sonic environment to say the least. The recording confirms your impression of the sound dialing in somewhat around Back On The Train.

I love what's going on in this Tube and a lot of the other recent ones, just wish it would get stretched out once in a while. I like Number Line as a first set closer personally too.
