What better way to shake off first-show rust than to take Carini deep? You can tell they wanted to shake off the dust quickly and start playing like they meant it, which for the most part they did. The opening Carini > Possum, Moma Dance trio was outstanding. Leaves, while one of my favorite softer songs, wasn't so great, almost an afterthought. Understandable, it's night one, can't win em all. Strange Design was a wonderful choice, and Stash got a little bit of stretch on it too. Blaze On was standard fare. Disease was excellent, Howling funky as usual, Twist got a micro jam, Mist cool-down, then a great Reba-Drift one-two punch to close out. Nice Gumbo and great Slave encore. Key takeaways, after not really being able to hear Mike in the mix in Mexico they've clearly fixed that. Fishman was MVP. Great opening show, rather promising look for the rest of the run.
