6 29 19 Camden #2 in the truck this morning.
Set 1
Set 1 is just ok tonight. A definite improvement on set 1 of night 1 but
it mostly sounds like the guys going through the motions.
Nothing is bad, in fact its all well played, but very little jumps out or makes you take notice.
Divided Sky is pretty strong and the ER has a very nice, if too short jam. Guelah sounds well rehearsed.
The main must hear material though is the incredible, X Factor 46 Days
to close the set. Multisectional and epic, they go dark before peaking
harder than almost anything else this summer. A true must hear version.
Incredible.
All in all, a pretty boring set overall. 46 Days is what you need, though ER and DS are worth mentioning ...
Set 2
A strong Blaze On opens. Sub 10 minutes but excellently jammed. Not essential but a great listen!
After a botched segue (A for effort!) we get a nice NICU followed by a
strong, if short, Golden Age. Like ER in set 1, this one goes deep
quickly but ultimately comes to a terrible close, fizzling out horribly.
Massive disappointment!
At least we get a 13 min Ruby Waves in its place! Ruby is weird. It goes
DEEP, throwing everything at the wall without much sticking. Its an A+
for effort but the results are kinda lopsided. Probably the weakest one
so far, but not for lack of trying. Hell, the best part is the SICK
segue into DDHVL...
DDHVL is completely skippable. When they get to the solo/jam, Trey instead opts to launch into Rift!
Ok, at least Rift is very strong tonight. Great version!
First set cool down is the debut of Beneath a Sea of Stars! In the wake
of monster versions to come this is rather inessential, but its a great
little debut if a great song and the placement was perfect. No, screw
that, this was terrific. It goes full type 2 ambience and the drill even
comes out to play. Wow!!!
AND THEN THEY WENT INTO WAITING ALL NIGHT. The perfect pair of all
time!!! The song is nothing special tonight but that pairing was a match
made in heaven!
Ghost gets us up and moving again. A strong shorter version with a great
little jam. Excellent reading with the perfect segue into a hot SANTOS.
Solid YEM into Grind for the encore.
All in all, what an oddball set. Highlights and lowlights and
anything but consistent. Its at least interesting, but little is
essential. Most will say Ruby was great but Idk...Sea of Stars was
fantastic. Ghost was pretty strong. 46 Days and ER in set 1.....
Definitely just grab the highlights. This show is all over the place.
