2018-10-28 Rosemont, IL - 2023 revisit

 10 28 18 today

A damn 15 minute bliss-rager Everything's Right to open. Incredible.

A darkly jammed, almost heavy metal version of Destiny Unbound follows.

Then an album-perfect Heavy Things. Seriously, this HT was outstanding!

A gorgeous Miss You follows. Actually very refreshing in this set placement, though im sure Im the only one that thinks so

Miss You SLAYS

Outstanding, magical, 12 minute Tube with a kickass "Im a Man" style dark funk jam. Holy mother of god that killed.

Wow, good stuff so far! 

Petrichor kills. I think Alpharetta is better buts its close. Great version.

There is a definite "x factor" vibe again tonight like on 10 26...

Then I Always Wanted comes and destroys worlds. A massive rock and roll face melter version.

When it concludes, the crowd ERUPTS and demands they continue the set so they fake us out with a nice version of Grind :p


Wow, what a set!!! If you get over your hangups about "omg 3 Big Boat songs, the horror!" and the odd-seeming set construction, you will be rewarded with one of the finest first sets of the year. If 10 26 18 didnt have that damn Mercury, no joke, id probably say this set played even BETTER.

A+, "dont judge a book by its cover" set!!!


Set 2

Carini into an apocalyptic nuclear bomb No Quarter....dude
And that segue into Cities was no joke! 

Short bu potent Cities into a RAGING Jibboo!!!

Twist had a legitimate type 2 jam that was actually noteworthy for once. And it segues magically into WTU and out again for a Twist reprise.

Then a gorgeous Shade before a RIDICULOUS 13 minute (!!!!!) Plasma!!!!!

Plasma is stupid amazing. Probably the 2nd best jam of the whole show!!!

HOSE EXPLOSION!!!!!

C Zero takes us home to chompertown :)

A shock surprise Fluffhead for the encore!!

All in all, this was a terrific set. All about segues and making the most out of a little, this set felt very 2019.

Killer set and show and likely underrated in the wake of the other 2 killer nights

DONT SLEEP ON THIS SHOW!!!!
