spreaditround SET 1:

Everything is Hollow: That’s one way to start a show I guess? Yuck, terrible song. It was performed for the first time since December 8, 2019 (135 Shows). >

Timber (Jerry the Mule) – Got pretty shreddy there for a moment or two, well done.

Ocelot: Standard.

Vultures: Third Stone stuff works well here. Woo’s at the end, ugh.

Monsters: Just the second time played (debut at Star Lake). My opinion hasn’t changed, it’s a decent tune with potential.

Plasma: Standard.

Mercury: Standard.

Stash: Solid Stash right here!

Leaves: Standard. Wish they would jam it out again like they did at Jones Beach last summer.

David Bowie: LOL at the intro, terrible. Standard version other than that first 30 seconds of roughness. A 9 minute Bowie. Time for the shelf, boys.

SET 2:

Drowned: Big bust out – remember when they used to play this like every 5th show in early 3.0? It was played for the first time since August 14, 2021 (114 Shows). Mike’s attempt at the high note “As far as I can see at 2:41, LOL!!! Too bad they didn’t jam it out like they used to. >

A Song I Heard the Ocean Sing: Sounds like Weekapaug intro very briefly at 5:15 or so. Really too bad that they felt like they had to revisit Tweezer because this Ocean jam was just getting going… ->

Tweezer: Don’t understand the thinking behind this. ->

Simple: Standard.

Pebbles and Marbles: Standard.

Spanish Moon: It was played for the first time since February 21, 2019 (171 shows). Great tune!

A Wave of Hope: Gets pretty gnarly in the mid 8’s with effects and some reverse reverb. Very cool. Wish they would have kept exploring this instead of what came next. >

Evolve: Dreck.

Loving Cup: Smoked. Trey didn’t want to stop when they typically would have gone back to the ending lyrics.

ENCORE:

Run Like an Antelope: Standard. >

Say It To Me S.A.N.T.O.S. – Standard. >

Tweezer Reprise: Standard.

Summary: Wow, this just fell very flat. This show and the first of the ‘tour’ were the two I like the least. Would rate it as I did 10.6.23 – 3/5.

Replay Value: None.
