Home again from work due to rain so let's go on with 1997, shall we?
54 minute set at Glastonbury. Not expecting anything, but it's cool they got to play "Wilson" so close to Stonehenge.
6/27/97 Somerset, UK - Glastonbury Festival
A rousing Wilson opens the show. Not much to say. Good version. The
following Chalkdust is pretty demented. For an "in the box" rendition,
Trey annihilates the hell out of it like it's a strangulatory version of
Maze instead, Highly recommend this Chalkdust!!!! Wow!!! No, seriously, this Chalkdust is positively UNHINGED!!! MUST HEAR!!! Wow!!!
Stash is surprisingly enjoyable. Incredibly dynamic version, they bring
it down to silence and to raging peaks and all points in between. The
excessive whistling by an audience member is icing on the cake, lol. Not
the greatest version ever but it's perfectly fine and even slightly
unhinged at points. Solid stuff.
The obligatory "It's 1997 so we HAVE to play it" Dogs Stole Things is
next. NEXT! Poor Heart picks us back up but Poor Heart is Poor Heart.
And into a surely-great 11 minute Taste we go! This is a pretty terrific
version. Love how relaxed and patient Trey begins his solo section.
Great little Taste!
Bouncing and C Zero lead us out.
All in all, there is as little to talk about as you'd expect. I'd
say the Chalkdust Torture is pretty essential listening, but nothing
else really goes beyond "pretty good". A nice little festival set,
nothing less, nothing more. Definitely the least interesting of the tour
so far....
A friendly place to find some sick tunes :) Notes direct from my original Hoffman Forums posts!
