6 25 19 Bangor
Set 1
Very high energy first set! It opens with a must hear, nuclear bomb 46 Days. BOTT is also strong if not essential.
After a fun Ass Handed we get a 14 minute Gin. Gin is great - 50/50 on
it being must hear or not. High spirited but kinda awkward. Cool leslie
funk jamming. Fish and Trey keep almost fumbling the end as they cant
decide whether to return to the song or keep jamming. Pretty funny and
definitely highly enjoyable.
The Dogs is nice to hear but kinda sloppy while Waves in the first set
is a great call! Unremarkable version though, as is the following Mike.
Good but not list worthy.
Water In The Sky is awesome though and a shock coming out of Mikes like that. Killer and totally a highlight!
But then comes the highlight of the set - Limb By Limb. X factor
magic!!! Must hear!!! It goes into a dark type 2 for a while before
crescendoing to a great finale. Completely unique!!! Where did this come
from?! And the following Weekapaug is extra funk, loaded with extra
pizazz as well!!! Its OUTSTANDING!!! MUST HEAR!!! BEST MODERN PAUG IN
FOREVER!!!
Rocking Julius to close
All in all, this set was miles better than set 1 of 6/23. Id say
46 Days, Gin, Water, and the Limb>Paug are all must hear. The rest is
pleasantly unremarkable. Not an incredible set, but the highlights are
killer!
Set 2
19 minute Disease to open!!! All X Factor Magic on this one. Slowly
unfolding like a film, it starts off in some great "plinko bliss" before
evolving into some gnarly and growly synth rock for a while. They
slowly move out of that back into rock and roll and work towards a
massive, blissful peak conclusion!!! This was fantastic!!! A total adventure!!! Must hear!!!!
The jam fizzles out into a rousing Play By Play before we get a massive,
X Factor Magic, 19 minute Simple!!! Diving deep into type 2, it spends a
long time in blissful, heavenly ambience before building up into a
MASSIVE rock and roll explosion!!! X FACTOR MAGIC!! THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!!! Following
that epic peakage, the boys drop hard into a sick whale-siren anti-funk
kind of zone for a few minutes to close. Very 1999.
Out of the strange and into a perfectly placed Piper!!!! Piper slays oh so good.
And a gorgeous Miss You is the perfect heart wrenching landing pad. My goodness.
Llama is utterly ridiculous tonight. Backwards guitar histrionics out the wazoo. Essential version.
The rest of the show is good but inessential.
All in all....hot damn what a set! The Disease was strong but HOLY
CRAP THAT SIMPLE WAS AN ALL TIMER!!! That Simple was as good, or
better, than the Blossom Birds or the Charlotte Jim. Top 3 jam of the
year so far, easily, and one of the best Simples ever played. Ever. The
rest of the set is great , but cmon, you aint topping those. Disease,
Simple and Piper are all must hear. Llama too.
