2018-10-20 Hampton, VA - 2023 revisit

 10 20 18 Hampton night 2

Holy friggin crap that first set was spectacular.

Killer slow Llama to open.

A raging Fuego in slot 2 that threatened to go somewhere special....

A MUST HEAR all timer Runaway Jim with pretty unique jamming/sounds

Bug comes early and pounds. Mound makes a much welcome appearance. Tela follows and is EXCELLENT. Very strong Tela!

Then we get a NUCLEAR BOMB 46 Days. If 7 24 18 has the best one of the year so far, this was absolutely number 2.

And to close, one of the most incredible, bombastic, full-of-energy versions of Fluffhead.

Holy moly. A+ first set. 

2nd set is destroying worlds. The most insane, where did that come from, nuclear bomb First Tube opens and leaves us with our jaws on the ground.

A multi part Tweezer, easily the jam titan equal of last nights Golden Age, blows out mind for 18 incredible minutes before a gorgeous and poignant Dirt rises from its ashes.

A perfectly placed Number Line is next...


1000 percent this show puts night 1 to shame and we arent even done....

Wow.  

NmiNML

12 min

Deep space black hole for like 2 whole minutes. Pure evil ambience. Then Fishman slowly reintroduces the beat and Trey abd the guys jump back in to conclude it. Sick. Must hear!

Cavern is Cavern. Felt extra hot tonight.

Jibboo that follows is really frustrating. Trey is thrown off from the start and spends a long time AWOL in the jam. If you want to hear Jibboo without guitar, this is your version. Then he spends the back of the jam trying to play catch up. The band is killing it but Trey just cant latch on. Its like flicking a lighter over and over just getting sparks but no flame

Thankfully the following Suzy is a type I rager.

An excellent reading of Shine a Light to close.

All in all, another great set, but it did kinda go slightly downhill after No Men.

Not a top to bottom perfect show, but a solid 4.2 or something. Maybe a slight step below one of the Alpharetta shows

A million times better than night 1 tho. :)
