2011-12-30 New York City, NY

That was a great show!! More than made up for the doldrums of 12/29/11

Great set tonight, tons of energy, but a prevalence of flubs and lack of extended jamming (INCREDIBLE Piper aside) prevent me from rating this higher.

This show felt like the Detroit show from the summer - Awesome on paper with awesome moments throughout but never really peaking into "classic" territory.

Just an awesome all-around show in the simplest of terms.

The Piper from this show is definitely going on my "Jams Of The Year" list for 2011.

Again, not classic, but still a really, really good show.

A very strong A- rating from me
