Excellent show front to back. Fluffhead was an incredible opener, featuring a bliss jam on the end. The rest of the first set kept up the momentum, featuring some classic songs like Cavern, Reba, the rare Mound, Taste and Ghost. While nothing else got jammed as much, it was an incredibly enjoyable set with excellent flow.

The second set was also incredible. AC/DC Bag was an unexpected but superb opener, and while the jam was not as long as the heavyweight versions from the late 90s, it was still an excellent version among the best we have heard in years. Chalk Dust Torture follows next, and almost immediately gets into some neat territory. It unexpectedly segues into Ether Edge, a neat new song. That is then followed up by an excellent 46 Days, one that reaches some truly impaired territory. The Howling continues the momentum and also produces a wonderful jam. Piper was a wonderful set closer, and this version featured and excellent bliss jam. A wonderful set with impeccable flow and never truly slowed down for a second.

For the second night in a row, we get a treat of an encore. 6 songs! Theme, Mango, Dont Doubt Me, Evolve and Golgi would have been a fun, unexpected long encore all on its own. However, Run Like an Antelope starts right as Golgi ends and is the perfect closure to a wonderful show.

This was a wonderful Saturday night show. I have loved my first Dick’s run, and I am sure we are in for another great show tonight!
