jive1twoandlee Holy shit! This set 2 is awesome! Set 1 had some pretty sick moments; Theme > Bitch, Halley's, Victim > Antelope, but those are all veggies compared to the meat in set 2.

Cavern is a perfect way to start a set, gets folks off their feetsies > This is probably the best Jim I've heard in a while. Trey and Mike lead the jam, but that's kind of normal for Jim. All-timer for sure > Ghosts of the Forest is a pretty cool debut, it's real hazy, and the sound fills in the space perfectly. I don't know why they haven't played it since, it could be fleshed out to some excellent places. Imagine it being the powerhouse of a second set, imagine what that jam would entail! In due time, we will get a type 2 GotF. ASIHTOS -> Caspian is a nice ocean adventure; serene but fierce, much like the sea herself. Ocean Song is patient and exploratory. I've always had a soft spot for 2.0 tunes. Caspian starts faster than it usually is, and I kinda wanted it to keep going like that, but we return to the normal formula. So be it, if that's what Caspian wants, then that's what he'll get. This one is pretty short, but they do a lot within that short time > Fuego, as the title suggests, is nothing but pure fire. Mike takes it in a really weird direction around 9 minutes in, and I honestly can't get enough of it. These last couple of minutes are pure gold, check it out > A perfect YEM. It's spooky in some places, funky in others; you've heard YEM before, what else can I say? It's just awesome. Mike and Trey kill it, especially in the end jam. GTBT is standard, but hot.

The encore is great, we get some Fishman antics with Terrapin as well as an energy jam with Julius. Good way to close!

Check out this second set, for sure. It's an adventure
