spreaditround SET 1: Buried Alive: First of the tour, 47 show gap. > Poor Heart: Solid start, good energy. >

Slave to the Traffic Light: Definitely a solid version and I really like the atypical placement.

I Didn't Know, Demand: Standard stuff. >

Llama, Foam: Fantastic segment, ripping Phish!

Strange Design, I'm Blue, I'm Lonesome: Little cool down before the home stretch.

David Bowie: Average Bowie but appreciated in the closing position.

First set summary: Nothing mind blowing here but they are playing with conviction and fire. Slave has replay value.

SET 2: Julius, Simple: Killer opening segment here, like the first set – they definitely come out of the gate swinging. Simple is short but sweet. >

Tweezer: I really enjoy this Tweezer! Has kind of everything, rock and roll and patient, ambient space to close out the last 5 minutes or so. -> The Lizards

Sample in a Jar, Suspicious Minds > Hold Your Head Up: This is where the show could go from good to great. Unfortunately this segment holds the show back.

Harry Hood: This is a below average version unfortunately. The vocals in the beginning and end are basically whispered/spoken. Unique. But the jam itself is not coherent especially for this era. Page and Trey seemed like they could not get on the same page.

Tweezer Reprise: Good stuff.

ENCORE: Funky Bitch: Standard.

Second set summary: It’s too bad they couldn’t have replaced the Sample/SM/HYHU with something we could really sink our teeth into. But it is what it is. Tweezer rocks and seems super underrated in the grand Tweezer scheme of things. I would rate this show as a 3.4 out of 5 – solidly average and had potential to be much more. On to the next one!
