This is a fairly strong show for the structure of this particular tour. Not everything gets nailed flawlessly but this is just the beginning!

After listening to the following nights famous Colonial Theater show so many times. I find this show to be the perfect foundation or stepping stone for it. Several of the shows played the following night are also played here. The following night be the far more primed up version.

The first set has the horn standard songs like Suzy Greenburg and The Landlady. But it also has some cool songs like Stash and The Lizards that are excellent with the horn addition.

Dinner and a Movie is also one of the Horn happy songs that meshes so well with these shows, and although not as vicious as the following nights show opener is still pretty cool. My favorite part of this show would have to be Avenu Malkenu. with the addition of the horns it just sounds superb and exactly as it should. Now in my opinion the rest of this set is somewhat sloppy. They have issues getting out of Mike's into Hydrogen. Page steps in too soon in the Weekapaug Intro. Touch me is also fairly sloppy and not quite as strong as the following nights, this is more forgivable since it's the first time played.

Fairly standard encore

Overall not on par with the following night. But not necessarily a low caliber show.
