This audience recording is decent overall, but the sound comes off a bit boxy. It could be the venue’s acoustics or perhaps the mic placement—either way, it doesn’t quite capture the full depth of the performance.

The band eases into the night with a slower-paced opener, setting a subdued tone that carries through the entire first set. While everything is technically sound, the playing feels a bit restrained, lacking the usual spark or risk-taking. It’s also one of the shortest first sets of the tour so far, which adds to the underwhelming feel.

The second set begins with a personal favorite—a track that always feels like a treat in the opening slot. Sadly, much like the first set, the energy still doesn’t fully ignite. There is a moment of interest during the Clod section of Fluffhead, where a sludgy, almost grungy groove emerges, but the version as a whole remains unremarkable. Things finally begin to gel in YEM. Trey’s gritty tone during the jam is contagious, giving the set some much-needed personality. The bass and drums section stretches out nicely, leading into a playful vocal jam capped by everyone shouting “Hey!” Unfortunately, the recording cuts off right there, leaving us to wonder how the show wrapped up. Part of me hopes they found their stride and closed out strong—but we’ll never know for sure.
