Tonight I begin the "as I've been told" somewhat legendary (overstating things, I'm sure) Fall 2010 tour.
10/8 Austin was one HELL of a fiery inferno warm up, but 10/10/10 is the tour start proper.
At a glance, this show has one hell of a setlist! The first 2 hours is almost a would-be favorites list by me.
A very nice Chalkdust opens the show and the tour. It's not the hottest
out there, but it feels a little more "earnest" than most - it's not
just a massive fiery fireball, ya know?
Holy crap that 76 minute first set was a frickin BANGER!
Pretend the first four sleepy tracks didn't happen (as much as I loathe dismissing It's Ice!) and skip STRAIGHT to Funky B.
From there to the end of the set it's straight FIRE with a capital F.
DANG
In short, from Funky B onwards, the set 1 is perfection.
For set 2, I'd stick with Mike's>Simple>Ghost>Groove personally.
Makisupa always bores me (I'm sorry, I don't care how funny it is, it's a repetitive one chord vamp, lol!).
My Problem Right There wasn't my cup.
Slave to the Traffic Light has grown on me a ton but, while very good, it's just another Slave.
From Makisupa onwards, set 2 drags for me. Big time.
A great show, but one my tastes won't be making me reach for again soon.
A big YMMV gig.
