Reminded me of Fenway 2019. i think rain delays> single sets cause them too many issues with trying to squeeze everything in. Weather of course not the bands’ or venue’s fault; however, it may be worthwhile for them to be more thoughtful about approaches to these kinds of shows because this was one of the very, very, VERY few times I would’ve rather kept my money than have been in attendance. Also Dick’s handling of the re-entry was horrific resulting in thousands of people remaining stuck in line for the first 30 mins of the show - this seemed to have an impact on the overall energy.

The show felt pre-planned, unnatural, and forced. The Hood was perhaps the most disappointing example of this. I thought the Everything’s Right was good and represents a version that has some relisten value. Beyond that no real gripes with the songs played but each was a fairly routine version. The show lacked those moments where you turn to your friends with bugged eyes and nod at each other.

I always love Dicks and this run was not at all ruined by N4. Dick’s N2 and N3 were fabulous and rival any of the top shows from this summer for my money. Thanks, as ever, to the band and crew for a great summer tour - I think in general this tour will be regarded fairly highly over time - Atlanta, Syracuse, SPAC, MSG, and Dick’s all featured the level of creativity, inspiration, and technical prowess that sets these guys apart. See everyone in the fall and at the next dicks
