SET 1: Ya Mar: Solid opener.

Stash: Total face melter, this really rips.

Billy Breathes: Standard.

Reba: This Reba is fantastic. Perhaps not the tightest towards the end but the energy is unbeatable. Can’t beat a mid-set Reba of this quality.

I'm Blue, I'm Lonesome, Rift > Free, The Lizards, Sample in a Jar: Standard.

First set summary: Loved that Reba and would revisit. The rest, not so much. Very average set.

SET 2: Poor Heart > Maze, Theme From the Bottom: Standard. These reads like a first set, not a second set.

NICU: Mike’s bass is liquid, very cool and unique sounding for NICU. Kind of like you would hear from him in a 1999 version of Free. NICU doesn’t belong in the middle of the second set >

Tweezer: Mike sounds amazing in this intro. It’s the Cactus show in the early going as Trey is doing his think on the percussion rack. Around ten minutes in this thing shifts to an almost jazzy sound. From there it gets very upbeat with Trey showing the way. Never really heard a Tweezer like this, very cool. By 11 or so things have gotten very spacey with Mike in the lead, Trey hanging way in the back. Trey is back at 13:15 and ramping things up. That Tweezer was a lot of fun. >

Keyboard Army > Suspicious Minds > Hold Your Head Up: Standard stuff here.

Slave to the Traffic Light: Good Slave, nothing too crazy.

ENCORE: Hello My Baby, A Day in the Life: Standard.

Second set summary: This show basically had two first sets. They definitely took a step backwards from the strong showing in Portland. Unfortunate based on how cool and intimate this venue in Vancouver was. Oh well. On to Spokane. I would rate this show a 3 out of 5. My least favorite of the tour so far. I would go back to Reba and Tweezer, but nothing else to my ear has replay value.
