On to night 2 of Chicago 2018
10 27 18
Set 1
If you take away the Mercury from night 1, Id almost be inclined to say this set was even better than set 1 from 10 26!!!
The opening Stash tries hard (A for effort) but ends up being much ado about nothing. Its all up from here though!!!
The Dogs rocked hard
Blaze On was MUST HEAR! 14 min with a SOARING jam reminiscent of the Went Gin or Camden 99 Chalkdust. Incredible!!!
Ya Mar and Water were excellent.
Vultures and Roses are Free were both A+ readings full of x factor energy.
46 Days went nuclear bomb.
And then a killer Bowie to close.
Maybe not as magical as last nights first set but it damn well held its
own and then some!!! One of the best first sets of the year!
Set 2
Raging Moma to begin before a ridiculously EPIC and gigantic 25 min No Men.
No Men is like a lumbering titan, traversing the landscape, crushing all in sight.
Excellent but nothing special Type I readings of Steam, CDT and Fuego
follow, keeping us rocking before a nicely timed Joy cools us down
perfectly
Great set so far, but not the effortless magic of night 1. Its excellent
but different. Last night had that special flow, this night feels much
more self aware and trying.
Terrific Suzy and surprise Rock and Roll to encore!!
I'd compare this show to something like Gorge 1, 7 20 18. Terrific show but not "magical".
Great stuff! A blast to listen to!
