Doopes A solid show w some solid jams.

First set was sorta all over the place and didn't have much of a flow but opening with First Tube, well, who doesn't love that song! the crowd was pumped, big energy out of the gate, Bathtub Gin, this sorta chilled everyone out, but who doesn't love Bathtub Gin? It was fun, then Devotion to a Dream and the Well, both alright, nothing spectacular, Birds of a Feather, called it before the show and it's a personal favorite so I was pumped, and it seemed to get everyone fired up again, Strawberry Letter 23 was pretty solid, fun song and def a crowd pleaser, Lawn Boy is always welcomed and if I'm getting a bluegrass song I don't mind Old home place, Hey Stranger is one of my favorite new songs and thought this one was jammed well, nicely done, Walls of the Cave, it's not gonna turn heads on paper, but damn, they absolutely shredded that ending! Def a great closer

Second Set was definitely a more cohesive set and had some big jams: Set Your Soul Free, not a favorite of mine but they seem to jam it well, and tonight was no different, nice almost 20 min version, the highlight and jam of the night, a near 30 min monster Chalkdust that went way out there, absolutely mind melting at times!, and after a big jam like that, a nice bathroom break is welcomed; Beneath the Sea and Stars...I'm sad that slow build Piper's are a thing of the past, I miss them, but tonight's Piper was jammed pretty hard , very enjoyable, and it went into a solid Everything's Right, another newer one that they seem to like to jam and the more I get the more it grows on me.

The encore was great , two awesome encore songs imo, def another big highlight, My wife called a Loving Cup encore so we both were def pumped for that and then Antelope! I called this earlier in the day and never gave up hope so I was extremely stoked on it! Not the best or craziest, but a very solid Antelope.
Overall, while it's not the going down in history type of show (that Chalkdust might be) I'd gladly take a show like this any day of the week!
