SET 1: Julius: To open the show certainly could set the tone for what is to come. The boys definitely rip this one.

Gumbo: First of the tour, good placement. I bet Page was happy to get the early spotlight as he shines here. Trey sounds awesome in his solo, I really like how he kind of bounces back and forth on this one, little thing. >

The Fog That Surrounds: Played at 6 of the first 9 shows. Trey gives this a good ripping around the 5.5 minute range >

Mound: First of the tour.

Possum: The seven and eight minute range are largely spent on building a great amount of tension for the imminent release which explodes at 10:16. Rocking Possum.

The Mango Song: First of the tour.

Acoustic Army, Wilson: Standard >

Run Like an Antelope: Page and Trey have a little duel before the jam kicks off. This version reaches great heights but I feel like there was one more gear they could’ve got there but didn’t quite get there.

First set summary: Good set with tons of variety as three tunes were played that hadn’t been played yet this tour. Possum and Antelope both have replay value.

SET 2: Makisupa Policeman: Heady way to come out of the setbreak and has a cool, spacey jam.

Cars Trucks Buses:

Split Open and Melt: Briefly in the mid 4:00’s there is some major chord type jam going on but it’s brief and is over with before the five minute mark. Trey and Fish do a great job creating dissonance in the mid 7 minute range – amazing how lock step they are with each other. The jam from there gets equal parts evil and heavy metal. I love the them that Trey locks onto in the last couple of minutes in bringing this one full circle and then they bring it way down before going for the final coda. Fish on the wood blocks is cool. The ending to this one is almost to cutesy pie for me. They sort of lost all the momentum that they had built up and then they mess around for too long and the ending doesn’t get the peak it deserves.

Strange Design: Standard.

It's Ice: This jam is exceptional and an absolute must hear for any fan. Page and Mike drive this one into very spooky territory. Check it out >

Contact: The brief Mike solo jam in the intro is cool! >

Frankenstein: First one since 6.7.95 and you can tell it’s been a minute as Page and Trey are not entirely on the same page as Trey kind of cuts off Page’s jam.

Harry Hood: This one I have struggled with over the years because it’s built up in such an incredible way with the silent jam. There is quite the shushing effort during this. To not peak this version really leaves you wanting more and is somewhat difficult for me to stomach.

Sweet Adeline: Standard.

ENCORE: Fire: Standard.

Second set summary: Makisupa, Split, Ice and Hood all have replay value. Very strong set and best show of the tour so far by a good measure.
