Hard to quite put your finger on what made this show special. It was a home game, from my vantage point. Big celebratory energy inside this cramped, funny old venue. Ghosts of old show dozin in the rafters. Great, offbeat setlists. Little treats everywhere (Access Me(!)). Terrific, superlative jamming.

They keep having their opportunity to phone one in this year. To play a ho-hum Sunday night on a strange, one-off “fall tour”. Not this year, apparently! 2024 still hasn’t something left to prove!

Bravo.
