Theme from the Bottom: a view from the top.

Scorching first set and a solid second. Weird show closer/encore.
First set had some highlights, but PYITE coming mid set with a sick 6 minute intro was my peak. There was no failure to launch like last year’s run opener. They came to bang. Roggae was perfect to my ears. I’ve come to realize when Trey calls for Buried opener, he’s feeling himself and he did. Set 1 edged out set 2 IMO but set 2 was no sloth.
Second set was a little more moody. Theme from the Bottom came in at 24 minutes, longest ever and definitely went type 2. I had to check the setlist to make sure it was still Theme, it was way out there like Sand or WGTYM of late. Theme has been getting its due the last few years and this was the pinnacle of that momentum.
I feel strongly that Theme ate the second set and Everything’s Right was an accidental closer due to time. I bet Traffic Light was the planned closer. But you know how it goes: most events aren’t planned.
4 star show as there were some flubs(disease, composed section of Theme Trey tried and gave up on his signature solo). Definitely had 5 star potential and I feel like they’ll get there tonight as there is zero rust left on this Tinman.
