The first set starts off fun with a nice Wolfmans, Llama and Martian Monster. Axilla>Hey Stranger works well. The Steam>Taste stretch is fun and unique. Definitely expected a song after Taste. Overall it was a very average first set but with how they are playing in 2025 it's definitely enjoyable.

The second set is another story. Carini is a relentless exploration that lands in beautiful Trey melodies and Page synth on top of fantastic Mike and Fish rhythm. Light goes type 2 immediately and stays there for way longer than I thought it did as it touches on some really nice and somewhat intense musical ideas. Carini comes back in and we get some extra improv before going into a killer version of Sand. Melodic and hypnotic with great effects from Page and Mike. Perfect landing spot in Piper which churns out a micro-jam before landing in the Lizards. Shout out to LizardswithaZ. Trey must have read your show recap. Then we get a big YEM to close just an insane hour and forty-five minute long set. The cherry on top was a jammed out Meatstick that gets nice and funky before exploding in euphoric synths with Trey using the Meatstick riff to build a wonderful peak. All-star stuff from the second set and encore that stacks up easily with the best of 2025. It's going to be a hell of a Hampton run to close out the year before the New Years Shows. Get ready to step into the freezer.

To me, this show was a classic tale of 2 sets. The 1st set was solid but forgettable in ways - and was probably teeing up this show to have an "average" rating (3.8-3.9) - but in came this 2nd set to absolutlely flip the script. From Carini onward in this show you are getting the bliss, the goods we all come to see. Fantastic. Even that meatstick was dreamy stuff.

Set One: B-
Set Two A+

Score: 4.45
