Great review. I loved this show from Page-side in section 3 and I'd put it near the top of the pile of shows that I've seen at Great Woods. However, I'd agree with you that from an objective standpoint it's probably average-great. I also would've liked to see some deeper jams in the second set, but the flow, energy and tones were phenomenal, and I couldn't complain at all about the song choices despite some Trey-DHD (and I tend to complain). What sets this show apart for a fairly jaded old like me is that the newer songs I hadn't seen (Howling, Wave of Hope) were well placed and well played and flowed perfectly with the set. There was also a noticeable lack of energy-killing band conferences and quasi-spiritual ballads. No bathroom breaks. No filler, all killer. To paraphrase Lisa Simpson discussing jazz, sometimes its the notes they don't play (looking in your direction Rise/Come Together, ALBTD, etc).

Great Woods tax is perfect and I plan to steal it next time they come around, hopefully 2023. I custied up for the $75 white lot because I needed to be able to get out immediately in case my wife went into labor. Worth it for the piece of mind and to enjoy the catharsis of a perfectly placed Slave before heading back to the default world. Enjoy summer tour everyone! I plan to couch tour a few shows, might let the baby come if he promises not to talk during the music.
