Review by Bob_Loblaw

Bob_Loblaw This show is so damn close to perfect.

First set has it's high marks.

Back at the Chicken Shack as usual was a nice blues detour from the norm.

PYITE had the cool siren in the background but it felt rushed and the double speed doesn't really work for me.

FEFY had a great year in 99' and this one is no exception.

Bowie was taken for a spin and is just beautiful.

The 2nd set is so great it's other worldly.

You have a Ghost where the jam is literally everything you would want in a ghost jam. Just fluid and precise.

The segue into free is great. Just a little extension on the opening makes it so much more exciting.

Then you have a BOAF jam which is the textbook definition of the band "Firing On All Cylinders". Just a glorious movement of experimenting.

Meatstick is well....Well.....Meatstick...Always great in 99'

Even fire has extra mustard on it and damn near burns the place down to end the set.

Bouncing is played especially well and of course who doesn't like Rocky Top?

If the first set had slightly more consistency I'd put this show up against pretty much anything.
