Ok night 2 Manchester is history. Another beautiful summer day in NH, my girlfriend and I camped out and it was a great time so far up North. Heading back tonight after the show, but would welcome a return here any day.

Set 1 starts out with a standard Free, a little predictable. Next comes Reba which was a pleasant surprise. This version might be the best one I’ve seen live, really hit the spot for me. Halfway to the moon good to hear again, but standard. Halley’s Comet absolutely rips, must hear from set 1. Stash get jammed, it’s more a bliss jam. It’s solid none the less and we end with a sick Meat and a surprise DWD set closer, really liked the spot for this. Must hear from set 1 are Reba and Halley’s Comet. Stash is good, but it’s a bliss jam I’ve heard before.

Set 2 starts up with DWYS…ughhh. This song is not for me just to sappy. I know people like the meaning and all that, but I just never want to hear it. Opening set 2? Let’s just not do that again. What follows is great. Carini is the highlight of the show. Some really interesting jamming and ideas, would highly recommend. Wave of hope also delivers a nice jam, very different from some other versions, really solid 2-3 punch after the start. Love Billy Breathes and it was a first for me so loved that. The rest of the set is good old fashioned rock on a Saturday night, a little extra mustard on Possum to these ears. Solid set over all. Carini and Wave of Hope are highly recommended.

Once again they deliver with the encore, classic stuff absolutely loved it. Bold as Love another first for me.

This was a solid show, but had a couple moments here and there. I’d rate this one a 4.25/5. Really solid opening run, I hope tonight is the big one.
