Night 2 of Vegas 2018 this morning
Set 1
13 min Type 2 Everythings Right. WOW! Doesnt top the Chicago opener, but its close! Damn!
Then a raging, energetic Bag keeps us rocking next.
Then, oh boy, oh golly...this friggin Wolfmans Brother. X FACTOR MAGIC! NEXT LEVEL! INCREDIBLE! MUST HEAR!
Nellie Kane and Funky B are both loaded with extra energy and kick butt.
But Funky B aint just hot, its damn nuclear! Check out Page the Rage!!!
Wow
No, im not exaggerating, that Wolfman and Funky B were both Phish-1.0
levels of...well, next level. Holy hell. Did they take steroids before
the set or something?!
And up next is.... a 15 min Chalkdust! Thats unusual! Extraordinary, it
gets dark and sludgy right off the rip! Sink in the murk! Holy hell this
is incredible!!! NASTY!!!! Incredible, magical version. Certainly in
the top ten of all time....
No, im not exaggerating. That was in the top 5 jams of the year so far, easily
After a rare I Been Around to gather ourselves, Joy makes us cry our
eyes out. Great stuff. Joy is ridiculous tonight, turning in the
greatest guitar histrionics workout ever. Insane. A shredding Joy, eh?
And then a killer Walls to close. Perfect. 
Holy sweet jesus mother of hell on a cracker, what just happened.
THEY KEEP GETTING BETTER! Everytime they play the best set ever, they
come and top it a few shows later. This set was unbelievable. All timer
Chalkdust, exceptional Wolfy and ER plus a ripping version of Joy.
EVERYTHING was loaded with red hot rocket fuel and the guys were just
exploding from start to finish. A++++++++++
Compare this to the likes of 8 12 18, aka the hottest show ever played, lol
20 min Blaze On bliss adventure to open set 2. Pretty dang must hear! Thats was killer! It just kept going and going and going!
Then a killer 10 min rager No Men keeps the fire burning hot. Spray that hose! Incredible type 1!
Up next, Fuego keeps the headbanging going. Short but nasty Type 2. Gets very dark and spacey for a few awesome minutes
Twist is killer. Does its usual thing then shifts into a brooding and
tense, slow build kind of jam. Darker but still jazzy. Synths creeping
in but not really. Is it bliss or not? Very interesting and odd! It
patiently winds its way through several sounds and styles befoe ending
up in a lengthy "how did we get here?!" part that sees the band making a
wacky, swirling, circus style racket with Mike proclaiming
"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" at the top of his lungs like he is peaking in
orgasmic bliss or something. Very funny and fun.
The OHHHHH of course causes Trey to later lead the band into a briefly
ripping and inspired Caspian before heading back for a Twist reprise to
close.
Holy hell. What is even happening anymore!?
After a lovely and perfectly placed BATR, we get a terrific Harry Hood
At nearly 17 minutes, Hood is extra exploratory tonight. During the
"building bliss" section, we get a killer WACTOOB semi-jam/extended
tease. Gordo picks up on it and does a vocal reprise of it and the crowd
goes nuts. But then back into Hood....just jam WACTOOB, dang it! 
After a great Contact and encore-nobody-wanted Rise/CT the show comes to a close.
And what a show it was!!!! Top 7 or 8 of the year, imo. A stellar
4.3 or 4.4 kinda show. Set 1 felt perfectly magical like 10 26 18. Set 2
was less "perfect" but almost everything had unique moments or terrific
jams, etc.
A MUST HEAR SHOW!!! BLEW MY LITTLE HEAD!!!!!!
