Man these SPAC '04 shows are both full of heat. Though N2 saw a couple of rough patches in Rift and the composed portion of YEM, there is some insanely impressive playing and improvisation in both sets. Jam charts pretty much call out the highlights to a T, though I'll throw some additional love toward Ghost for more laidback--though still exploratory--jam in the midst of a killer four-song set. Trey's solo in YEM is also a great representation of the 2.0 Trey hose we all know and love (Fishman is tremendous here, as well).

IMO, Twist is a clear winner for jam of the night. The diversity of energy, harmonic space, effects/sounds employed, riffs developed, grooves busted, etc. is wild. I'd consider this the spiritual successor to 6/19's Piper and think I actually like this jam even better (I'm sure this opinion will oscillate though). Awesome 2.0 show all around. I'm sure the SPAC run will stay close at heart for the duration of my Phandom.
