All in all a solid show with some surprising moments. Jim opener is always welcome and the repeated blaze on was well played especially with the Martian monster follow up, bravo! Birds was sweet and jammy, 555, one of my favorite Mike songs and a nearly perfect divided sky. I have to admit an eyeroll as ether edge started but holy shit, what a crunchy finish with a picture perfect coil to close out the set. Bag, lifesaving gun and the rest into a really high energy antelope to start the slide to the finish. Cooling down with a poignant sea of stars (I knew it was coming) the start of everythings right was patient and didn't disappoint. That encore, it just doesn't get much better. What a way to walk out amidst the howling of tanks and flashing lights,not sure my feet were actually touching the ground. Best show of spring tour?

Night 7 of spring tour sounds like a band with glide in its stride. My favorite show of terr so far with loads or replay value. Trey was unhurried and confident. He landed on jam themes like they were always there and let them cook to perfect al dente, as it were. I’ve seen some critiques that jams are blending together a bit and last night sounded varied and each outing had personality.

Setlist looks one way but sounds very different. An incendiary end to Blaze On, a jammed out 555, and a whole kaiju hatched out of that 18+ minute Ether Edge. (Easily a top three jam of spring - shout out to Tommy for FaceTiming me from the top of the Bowl as the jam started to explore. I was *almost* there!)

Set two is one of those time knife situations. Even from the couch I swore they took me to the moon and back a few times only to find out nothing was over 15 minutes until the fantastic Everything’s Right closer. Bag was the best since March of the Multibeast and Trey gave a warm welcome to Life Saving Gun’s return. Oblivion->Antelope was special, as was the jam-lite section in the Antelope.

Give it a top to bottom spin.

S1 started off with solid Jim and Blaze, nothing frilly, just solid songs to get us up and off. Martian Monster got spacey, ok. Birds of a Feather, ok. 555 good. Divided Sky fit the mood for the night IMO. Here's the kicker, i think the best part of S1 was Ether Edge > Coil. One word to describe: Hell. Coil was if not the most perfect way to segway out of Ether Edge. Felt very dark and hellish. What more can i say?

S2 with a Bag! Life Saving Gun to help us out keeping the high energy. Howling was killer! Very thumpy. Best part of S2 was Oblivion > Antelope, just awesome. Felt like we were having a party up in heaven with a mud house, but then Oblivion came to check in on us, we all fell from tubes onto the sand to run like an antelope, then calming with a ballad of Beneath a Sea of Stars. We all celebrate in a giant bowl of spaghetti with Everythings Right! If they ended S2 with that Antelope I would be satisfied! But they kept going!

Encore ok, Slave appropriate for CA! Wasn't expecting these songs to wrap up the night.

S1: 3.65 (weight = 3)
S2: 3.85 (weight = 3)
E: 3.6 (weight = 1/3)

(3.65(3)+3.85(3)+3.6(1/3))/(3+3+(1/3))=3.74.
