Been a real hard week. Listening has been on my mind but I've been so exhausted that I haven't had a chance to do any more.
Tonight I'm seeing how far I get into 9/4/11, Dick's Number 3
A Maze opener!!!!! Holy hell, I can honestly say I've never heard that before!!
Setlist looks great, hopefully this show slays the very disappointing 9/3/11
-------------------------------------------
OH YEA! This show has IT!!!!
9/4/11 Commerce City
Maze
>Back On the Train (OUTSTANDING!!!!)
>Rift
Talk about an opening trio for the books! There is that palpable extra X
Factor in the feel of the music tonight. The guys mean BIZNESS.
The setlist for this night is excellent so I hope they keep it up
-----------------------------------------
Yup. X Factor Night confirmed.
Song 4 of the set we get a terrific 15-minute Bathtub Gin that is just
all kinds of slam-dunk. Even if it basically stays Type I, the playing
and jamming is soooo gooodddd......
The Way It Goes was an awesome Gillian Welch cover. Gonna check her out after that!
Halfway to the Moon was excellent. Page came in early on the vocals but
he hit it on beat so it worked perfectly. Inspired playing. Best version
yet, probably.
Into Gumbo we go!
-------------------------------------------
This might honestly be the best, most cohesive, most action-packed first set I've ever heard.
The set is almost over and EVERY track has been a major highlight.
Gumbo - perfection
Halley's Comet - perfection, vol 2
Halley's gets into a raging guitar solo from Trey - BUT, DEAD NUTS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SOLO -
segue into Tube
OUT OF FRICKIN NOWHERE.
AND IT WORKS! AND ITS AWESOME!
HOLY CRAP!
---------------------------------------------------
Halley>
Tube>
Roses>
Chalkdust Torture
What a friggin' quartet this was.
BUT, the ENTIRE set was nearly flawless. One of the best 90 minutes of continuous music these ears have ever had the pleasure to listen to.
Out-friggin'-standing.
The best first set of 2011 - easily - or in the top 5 for sure.
Oh my god.
----------------------------------------------
Finishing set 2 of 9/4/11 Commerce City
Dick's 2011 started great with 9/2, 9/3 was a horrible dream I'm trying
to forget, but 9/4 finishes the trio almost as good as 8/15 began the
Chicago run.
Spectacular show.
