Starting 8/5/18 right now, aka the You Sexy Thing gig 
Is that Mike singing YST? Sounds too high for him and his voice keeps cracking lol
Very, very interesting looking first set! Tweeprise and What's the Use, Petrichor, Vultures...
Ok, so set one is off to a really, really FUN if not great beginning.
You Sexy Thing gets the party started. Then a surprise Tweeprise keeps
it going before some atonality with the beautiful yet chaotic What's The
Use
Very odd set placement but it makes for a nice change of pace!
That being said, none of the above are actually all that GOOD, so
despite their novelty and how great this probavbly woulda been to see in
person, the real good stuff doesn't begin until Petrichor
I'm the world's biggest lover of Time Turns Elastic (I'd go mental if
they busted it out!) so you gotta bear with me here if I go crazy on it 
Point is, fun start without anything all that amazing happenning despite the setlist being interesting. 
Petrichor is where things kick in for me
Ok, so I think Petrichor is really boring, but this one was performed pretty flawlessly so major points for that.
Then it segued into a monster Most Events Aren't Planned - Page has really been killing it on this tour and its awesome to hear
this rock so good! Oh man, they need to play this more - this is so
AWESOME!!!!!!
Reba was monstrous
The composed section was played as good as you can expect from 2018 (meaning ok without major flubs
) But the solo!
HOLY FRICKIN CRAP
Trey let it rip and let the magic flow like it was 1994 or something. Holy S#!+
Taste>Golden Age - Great start to the second set. Golden Age was a blast - it stayed pretty
much in the Type 1 realm for the jamming but the last minute or 2 saw
them going back into a Reba jam with the whistling and all! Awesome to
hear! Felt like a Phish 1.0 moment or something 
Also, set 1 is BONKERS from Petrichor through the end. If you listen to this show just start it with Petrichor or Most Events.
Great show but a clear step down from the previous 2
Nothing I would really call type 2 jamming tonight but a load of red hot type 1 or (or 1.5...)
Lots of flubs as well, but then again the show had a very silly and FUN
vibe - this was not the kind of show to expect technical greatness from 
Excellent finish to an amazing 3 night run.
