Set 1
Carini - Masterpiece!! 20 min!!! One of the greatest jams of the year, this is absolutely must hear!!! Multiple peaks and hose galore. Incredible!! X factor magic!!!
Halleys Comet - Good type 1 version. Nothing remotely special about it though.
Blaze On - Short but incendiary!!!! A+ type 1 reading. Killer!!!
Prince Caspian - Must hear!!!! Similar to the Alpharetta version, this one is heavy and HAZY as all get out. Psychedelic explosion - damn near sounds like a late 90s Caspian!!!
WACTOOB - First version in two years!!! Unfortunately, there is no jam
to speak of and it ends incredibly abruptly. Very unfortunate as the
song itself sounded great!!!
Mercury - Fantastic reading! Yea, lets complain about it only
being 9 minutes and having no jam, but the song is performed perfectly
with oodles of energy and enthusiasm. It damn near sounded fresh!!! Great lil Mercury!!!
Ruby Waves - 15 min, in from Mercury. Utterly ridiculous, seems
to have about 5 different key changes. This felt like multiple jams in
1. Fantastic! MUST HEAR!!! So. Much. Ass kicking!
Character Zero - Is Zero. Killer.
All in all, definitely pick the highlights, but this set played
great as a whole. Tons of energy and enthusiasm with several must hear
versions!! Carini, Ruby Waves and Caspian were the main highlights, but
everything else was played with the utmost energy and tightness. A great
set overall!!!
Set 2
Set Your Soul Free - Terrific type 1 rager! Maybe not must hear, but it spits fire - dont sleep on it!!!
Tweezer - Nearly 24 minutes, this sucker is epic in scope. Very
different from the super-party insanity of the 8/5 version, this one
still felt nearly its equal. Mostly staying blissful throughout, it is a
shining beacon of insanely passionate positivity. This Tweezer
feels like the heavens shining from above. Or something like that (look,
I dont know, the Adderall kicked in during this so....). Absolutely magical and incredible. If 8/5 didnt exist, I wouldnt hesitate to call this my favorite of the year so far. Amazng
Beneath a Sea of Stars - You get what you expect and its glorious
as always, but this one has a great dark section in the middle. The
climb out to the conclusion is awesome.
Oblivion - Excellent type 1 version but has no jam to speak of so its merely a transition into...
Light - Nearly 15 minutes, another Type 2 adventure. This one has
a latin feel before a terrific Divided Sky style peak. This one goes
deep!!!! Must hear!
Slave to the Traffic Light - Holy crap was this set construction on point or what. Fantastic version full of passionate release, a perfect cap to the set proper.
Show of Life - I love it. You hate it. What else is new. Fantastic.
SANTOS - Killer.
.
All in all, my goodness..what a set and what a show!!! The 2nd set
was must hear as one sequence pretty much from start to finish. The
Tweezer was one of the best of the modern age.
A ridiculous show. 3.6 rating on .NET? GTFO. The only real "problem"
tonight was songs getting cut short/not jammed, but then the next song
would come and annihilate worlds.
Fantastic show. Easily in league with any of the mind-blowing New York gigs.
AND DONT SLEEP ON SLAVE!!!!
