ghsaidirock A solid show with some standout moments! This show was a reminder that even a 'decent' performance for these guys is some of the best live music that exists today. It's always a great reminder.

Out of the gate with an exploratory Carini with a perfect transition into a fun Possum. I have a soft spot for set I slow songs, and I love Leaves and Strange Design.

The highlight of set I was the Stash. The composed section was polished, and during the jam Fishman introduced a rhythm on the wood block that trey picked up on and toyed with, and all of a sudden the entire jam was defined by that one rhythm, as they expanded and played with the motif before it spilled over into the outtro.

Set II opened with a tight Sigma, and another great transition into a meandering DWD. It took its time but ended with a rocking guitar-led jam section.

Highlight of set II was howling > twist. The Howling was amazingly funky, way better than the halloween debut (or was it just that I was seeing it live?). Another perfect transition into Twist, whose jam started very laid back (with some of the tastiest Trey tone and note choices I've heard). Everyone who talked or left during Mountains missed out on a beautiful, pensive soundscape to get lost in. Always love a reba, and the Drift closer ended with a great crescendo. Gumbo encore was fun, and Slave gives me shivers every time.

Overall, some exceptional soloing from trey, and seamless song transitions. the stash and twist are definitely worth replaying. Some weird mood swings with the setlists and especially closers, but such a good show!
