Review by thelot

thelot The SBD source for this show is noticeably oversaturated, and the pitch runs a bit slow during the first set. It’s still a decent listen overall, but the quality takes a clear leap during the encore. Hopefully a cleaner source surfaces at some point, as this show definitely deserves better representation.

The band kicks things off with a fiery Buried Alive > Possum opener that sets the tone nicely. Stash is solid, and before Esther, Trey takes a moment to reminisce about the venue. He recalls how, the last time they played there, the audience managed to clap in time to Lizards—a feat he says no other crowd had accomplished in their eight years of touring. He calls it a special place and encourages the crowd to give themselves a pat on the back. lol YEM closes the first set with a particularly engaging jam and a fun vocal jam.

The second set starts with a cut at the start of Tweezer. Mike drops some bombs to kick off the jam. Fluffhead is especially inspired! A ripping little Chalk Dust follows. A-Train is smooth and enjoyable as always. The pairing of DaaM>Brother is a standout, made even more memorable by the addition of Artis the Spoonman, who adds a wild, percussive twist to Brother—totally different from other versions on this tour. He sticks around for the remainder of the set, adding his unique flair throughout.
A fun version of Brain includes what sounds like a pipe or flute added to the mix—definitely a unique moment. A beautiful Harry Hood builds things to a satisfying peak before a high-energy Tweezer Reprise closes out a stellar set.

The encore is where things really shine sonically—the recording quality improves dramatically. Spoonman returns for Lawn Boy and Rocky Top, bringing his eccentric energy and giving both songs a unique flavor. He sits out the second encore, but by then, the show has already delivered plenty of memorable moments.
