thelot Big thanks to Rick Supan for providing yet another beautiful Dat audience source for this southern swing!

Trey teases Curtain a few times before launching into it, setting a playful tone right out of the gate. They follow it up with Jim once again, which feels like a fitting companion. Before Sparkle, Trey takes a moment to talk about Artis the Spoonman, who had opened for them on the West Coast. He shares something Artis used to say when he had a truly attentive crowd—that your attention is one of the greatest gifts you can give someone. Trey adds that it must be something about Atlanta, because every time they play there, the crowd is just incredible. Llama is absolutely ripping, with inspired solos from both Page and Trey. Reba is clean and confidently played, and YEM features an infectious little jam that carries over into the bass and drums section. Brother closes the set in fantastic, chaotic form—another standout version.

Set two opens with a solid Chalk Dust that rolls right into a particularly inspired Fluffhead. The mid-section of It’s Ice is especially fun and inventive—my favorite version since its debut. They keep the energy high with a tight, powerful Tweezer. The girl screaming bloody murder at the start of the jam somehow adds to the intensity—pretty hilarious and kind of perfect. Tela provides a beautiful comedown before a humorous moment where Page and Trey add a “Henrietta” chorus to Fish’s theme song.Trey then says Henrietta wants to dedicate Terrapin to a special person in the audience. He follows up by announcing that Fish also wants to dedicate another song to that same special someone. Because it’s such a special gig, they decide to play the “extremely rare” Gospel intro to My Sweet One—though not that rare, since it debuted back in Santa Cruz. Still, this version has a little extra pep and crashes perfectly into the arena-shaking Tweezer Reprise.

The encore brings a well-played Glide and a fiery Possum to close out the night with style.
