8/24/12 ON HIS WAY TO SEE THE KING WILSON ~ Set II comments:
Beginning to think of Leg 2 Summer 2012 as "The Rock N' Roll Tour" with the stunning 25-minute version on 8/15 and then this joyous 16-minute version from 8/24! While it doesn't burn at both ends like 8/15, this Alabama Rock n' Roll visits similar psychedelic hallways complete with Live And Let Die theme. Towards the end, Trey's wah wah focus allows that welcomed Page interplay with Mike. Super soup. Page turning up my mind. Mike melting it. The segway into Lizards spot on. Never appreciated Page's virtuosity more. Seeing him work it up close on the Webcasts brings new meaning to my understanding of Page's Side. Is there another keyboardist on Earth creating these sounds on tour? Hah yah right! Standard Halley's Comet and then Trey taking it wah wah way out during SAND. Great version highlighted by some psychedlia again while transitioning into TWIST-OYE-COMO.....Trey paying tribute to his R&R heros all night Lou Reed, McCartney, Carlos then Stevie Wonder BOOGIE ON PHUNKNESS > transition to 2001 sending blood to every part of gills ! Sweet! Come WASTE some time with this second set of balls out Rock N Roll!!!! As always, thank you, PHISH!
