Ripping opener. I wanted a long Bathtub Gin and they delivered. Trey hit some signature notes in his earlier soloing, and the actual jam rocked. 2nd longest Evolve played had a pretty cool solo on it and good lights. In my opinion, the Stash proved how clean the band was playing their compositional instrumental pieces this week. The jam felt a little old school and maintained the kind of Latin vibe that definitely gets lost in the type 2 Stashes of today. As divisive P&M can be for fans, this version was really exceptional and it was all around a classic. Following it up with a little recess from Farmhouse. Suzy Greenberg has been underplayed recently and getting such a proper version was a treat. Closing it off with WOTC, not the strongest, but still played really well all together. The Chalkdust maybe had a few moments of uncertainty in it, but when it was rolling it felt so good. Light is always a fun one and I appreciate it coming up at a show. The Fuego was definitely a highlight of the set, with Trey hitting some crazy notes and giving that classic feedback-y solo that Fuego sometimes offers. My first Monsters started with a bit of skepticism, but they proved themselves as usual and made me like a song on my first live listen. The late game Piper caught me off guard, but it ended up being a super fun penultimate song. BDTNL can be a bit of an eye roll for people but it holds a special place in my heart, and this version felt like an appropriate way to end. Sleeping Monkey might not get enough recognition for how much of a classic it is and I think it's the ultimate piece for a two song encore. What I didn't expect to be a good encore song was My Friend. They did great on the composed part and then peaked out a fat jam to send us off to Portland. It was definitely a great surprise.
