2019-06-26 Bangor, ME - 2024 revisit

 6 26 19

Bangor

Set 1

Set 1 begins terribly with the put you to sleep trio of Crowd Control, a boring Plasma and the sleepy Army of One.

Ugh!

Alaska is next and you think oh no, but alas, it turns out to be MUST HEAR! Its absolutely MOLTEN HOT!!!

Thankfully a killer 11 minute, type 2 Killd Devil Falls keeps the heat going with some sick jamming and an explosive peak.

The rare and much welcome How Many People Are You follows and almost ups the ante!! Blazing hotter than a comet, this thing is insane. Plus its 9 minutes and gets jammed out. Essential listening!!!! MUST HEAR!!!! THIS IS X FACTOR MAGIC!!!

Wow!!!

Then Petrichor comes outta nowhere and turns in a pretty flawless rendition. Inessential but damn great to hear. I mean, they friggin nail it. Killer.

Saw It Again is must hear. Wacky and uber evil, grab this.

The set ends with a BLAZING Sand. Must hear!

The Set With No Flow. All in all a strange one for sure. Definitely not a GREAT set overall, the highlights were strong. Alaska, KDF and HMPAY and Sand are essential. Saw It Again if youre feeling generous.

What a weird set.... 

Set 2

The set begins excellently with a strong Turtle into a must hear Jibboo. It stays Type 1 but its spectacularly good.

Then into a 17 minute Fuego! They nail the song perfectly and the jam builds smoothly out of the ending. Quickly they drop into this sick, bass driven, late night chill funk kind of zone. This leads into cool, melodic synth bliss! From here it all drifts sideways into a dark section. Very ominous and foreboding. This leads to a lengthy party funk section which morphs, perfectly into....

A 13 minute Cities!!! Cities is utterly incredible like the 6 25 Simple. Nothing but X Factor Magic, it goes deep into the type 2 wormhole and never lets up . MUST HEAR!!! ONE OF THE GREATEST JAMS OF 3.0!!!!!

This in turns leads flawlessly again into an EPIC The Final Hurrah. Surely in the top 2 or 3 ever played, again this is must hear. Its a massive volcanic explosion of ridiculousness.

Excellent but inessential versions of Caspian, Farmhouse and Number Line let us cool down before a blazing Chlakdust ends the set.

Chalkdust is something else. Beyond incendiary and jammed oh so perfectly, this is a true 10/10 type 1 version. Essential.

Great old school encore of The Lizards into Suzy!

All in all, holy hell what a set! Jibboo was amazing, and the Fuego>Cities>Hurrah was total X Factor Magic and Chalkdust was essential listening. My God.

Best complete set since Blossom set 2. A smokeshow!
