I honestly thought this was a pretty strong show tonight watching from home. They really wasted no time getting to the good stuff and for the most part everything was played well in this first set. Ive never cared for "Esther" but man they nailed that version. Oh and they nailed the Meat. And once again, this band nailed a nasty Split Open and Melt. Definitley a strong first set.

On to the 2nd set, and this was indeed a fun one as trey himself mentioned. Chalk Dust had a great jam to start it off and the transition to twist was perfect. 2001 was a good version into a fun sally. I know people might not dig Life Beyond the Dream but they played a fantastic version, as has become usual for this song. It just fits trey perfectly. A pretty flawless first tube to end it all. Actually sent some shivers down my spine watching from home with that version. you can feel the energy through the computer. And how about a nice antelope to close it out. Who could complain? Strong night at the Bowl here.
