spreaditround Loving Cup: Awesome! What a choice for an opener. Been a while since this happened, 6.24.04 to be exact at Deer Creek. This smokes. >

Maze: Good version and maintains the momentum set up by LC.

Martian Monster: Not a fan but it doesn’t derail the momentum and it’s over pretty quick. >

Divided Sky: Nice! Love it in this spot. Middle of the first set, perfect placement. With the no repeat thing it was bound to pop up. >

Prince Caspian: They absolutely crushed this. Not your typical Caspian but was so good! Nicely segued ->

NICU: Play it slowly Leo, lol >

Steam: Oof, needed a little more in this slot.

Drift While You're Sleeping: Nosedive complete. That is unfortunate as the first 2/3 of this was great fun.

SET 2: Set Your Soul Free: Solid jam! No fluff or filler.

Tweezer: Had to see this coming from a long way off – let’s goooo! ->

Guy Forget: Nice! ->

Tweezer: 8:36 - 10:00 in Tweezer is so, so good. Old school. This segment seriously gave me goosebumps. From here it eventually makes the seemingly inevitable move for major mode. Wish they could have kept the spirit of that aforementioned segment alive for a longer stretch. >

What's the Use? – No complaints here. >

Scents and Subtle Sounds: Aborting that Scents for the Tweezerfest stuff is an egregious error. So bad. ->

Tweezer: Gimmick. ->

Everything's Right: Nice jam, much like the set II opener… No fluff or filler. Manteca stuff was fun. >

Backwards Down the Number Line: Oof. >

Tweezer Reprise: Inevitable. We will not go quietly into the night!

ENCORE:

Harry Hood: That Hood is exceptional. Gave me goosebumps listening to it the first time yesterday. They took a risk with that Hood, and it paid off in spades. What an encore and capper to the run. Very impressive! All time version for this era. Love this Hood.

Summary: Pretty good show with a solid first set overall. Second set seems gimmicky and like they were running out of steam perhaps? I would rate this as a 3.9/5.

Replay value: Prince Caspian, Tweezer, Harry Hood.
