Old vet returns, Blossom was my 1st show since 2013 after 137 others mainly 91-99 , i also must note I’ve listened live to every show since 09’ fluffhead minus a few west coast 2nd sets. Anyway love the band as much these days as back then but I’m not a fan of everything so here’s an honest review if the gig.

Let’s just start by saying in my history there was never such a lane lot scene , no shakedown what so ever, nought some pot at the dispensary, hoping to buy glass on lot but nooo , so if someone tells you they are on 22’ tour they more than likely are lying . Teo guys selling pins in all of Canada lol

Sigma Oasis open ended jam vehicle in 1st set is always welcome , Blaze on same response as opener only add that I saw this at blossom and in set two when sound gets turned up so this one wasn’t blossom, Steam was next , my 1st one live in person it didn’t disappoint it was great , mso , then a great Theme , honestly here is where I can tell you the band has progressed, songs like this , and later sample free are all jam vehicles. Wombat was next and honestly the only real creative song that hasn’t been played this tour they played in Toronto , mso yeah big deal, anyway Stash was next it made me cry it was beautiful buttery jam stuff, the sand closed and rocked straight from start to bottom .

Second set was ok but definitely not as good as one and set list was pretty uninspired if you ask me sample was the best one I’ve ever seen , at one point in the mid 90s I hated that song , i could see it every night if they play it opem like that. DWD was a repeat from the weekend, it was great but Mr Completely woild of been my call . The rest of the set was blah till Sally it wasn’t jammed out very long and I headed toward the door, lane boy had me at the gate. Santos came on and although I like this tune the ave set two had me on my way back to New York early. They had three days off a day off after and all we got was a my sweet one and wombat , i don’t blame them no one is on tour anymore that was evident on lot but this band now can jam sample and free like tweezer so it’s pretty good, only other complaint was talking around me was out of control . Go to the lawn and talk or at least whisper so you don’t ruin others concert
