humalupa This is pretty spot-on, and it sums up my feelings of a night in which nothing went wrong, but also nothing really took off. The Trey ballads in the second set really slammed on the brakes whenever things looked ready to break away, which was frustrating. It was a good night for guitar solos, with many thrilling peaks, but not a great night for group jamming.

They must have been dead-set on playing IAWITW, because the jam in Twist seemed ready to blast off, with the band confidently jamming at will for a couple minutes, but instead, things were awkwardly corralled into the new song. Regardless, that combo was still a highlight, as was Fuego->Sand and the last portion of the first set, beginning with Lengthwise.

I'd recommend a listen to those sections of the show, for sure, but I can't say this is a show that merits a front-to-back listen for anyone who wasn't there. For anyone wondering what a three-star, "typically great" show sounds like, this show is your baseline.
