2011-07-03 Watkins Glen, NY

About an hour into set 1 of the night. First off, check out this old-school-ass setlist!!!!

So far:

Soul Shakedown Party
AC/DC Bag>
The Curtain (exceptional w/o version!)
Colonel Forbin>
Storage Unity Reality Narration>
Fly Famous Mockingbird
Destiny Unbound (Sick jamming!!!)>
Big Black Furry Creature From Mars
Wilson
Mound

I mean, dude. :p

Playing wise, it's been a mixed bag, but the setlist effort exceeds any complaints I have about "oh that was good but nothing special" :p

 -----------------------------------------
 
 Gettin' tasty jamming in unexpected places tonight! No, not type II yet, but definitely "ooh that's different" type I stuff :)

Check out the Destiny Unbound, Wilson and Mound for the goods in set I!!!

EDIT - more to come. Thought the set was nearing the end but I've still got a Reba AND a Bowie to get through :D
 
---------------------------------------
 
Set 1 continued:

Ok, so after Wilson and Mound, A Song I Heard The Ocean Sing brought the heavy heat. We got legit Type II for about 3 or 4 wonderful minutes. Really terrific micro jamming (or whatever you guys call it). There was even a totally unexpected switch up where Mike went to a major key and the whole jam flipped on its head.

Totally worth checking out. Very, very cool!

Time Loves a Hero was nice to hear. Excellent version.

Reba - ouch! Unfortunately this was maybe the biggest low point of this otherwise pretty cool set. The "tough" part was ok playing wise, but the jamming really didn't go anywhere. Ever wanted to hear a, dare I say, BORING Reba? No? Well too bad cuz here you go :p After the jam they did the whistle ending and Trey lost his marbles resulting in the whole thing grinding to a weird halt. I don't know if he just lost his place or had guitar problems or what but the song quite literally breaks down instead of ending, lol.

At least that weird conclusion leads us into a TERRIFIC David Bowie!!! I'm not usually impressed with 3.0 Bowie's besides "oh that was hot!" but this one actually has proper jamming and not just soloing :) Not the greatest ever but it is totally a top-tier version for 2011 and lays total waste to that pathetic Reba :)

Down With Disease>
No Quarter (CRUSHING)>
Party Time (HOSE. HOSE EVERYWHERE).


Party Time might just be the best thing played at this festival so far. Yes, you heard me right. That is both a compliment to this performance and a bash at this festival :p

EDIT:

Nevermind, Ghost>Jibboo is just as hot or hotter!

LIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
