Set 1

You know a show is gonna bang when you get a Curtain With opener! The Curtain With is a bit flubby but overall good. Inessential but solid.

Wonderful move into the first FEFY in 2.5 years! Great mood setter! Strong version, worthy of the highlight list.

Buried Alive rages hard but the intro is the yuckiest trainwreck youve ever heard. UGH!!!

Thankfully Camel Walk is excellent and worthy of the list as is the following Reba. Must hear!!!

After a standard Sample, we get an excellen Pebbles and Marbles before a standout Tela. Tela is EXCELLENT, as is the flawless Mango Song afterwards.

Very rare Driver as well.

Solid Bowie closes this rarity packed set.

All in all, this was great! Camel, Reba, Pebbles, Tela and Mango were all standout versions. Absolute blast of a set!!

Reba is SHOCKINGLY well played! The solo is so so but the composed part is the best modern one Ive heard in a while. Seriously, its actually flawless. Stunning! 

Set 2 opens with a must hear 17 min x factor magic Mr. Completely. Rages hard with a dark hear before moving to a great kind of uptempo "late night fire" section before moving down into space and then going skywards and climaxing with the most epic rock and roll finale of the summer. The spacey section the middle was amazing!!! And the slow build back into the song before the rocking finale was even sicker!!!!

THIS WAS ESSENTIAL!!! HOLY CRAP THIS WAS FREAKING INCREDIBLE!!!!!! MUST HEAR!!!!! ONE OF THE BEST JAMS OF THE SUMMER!!!!

That was so great I had to play it twice!!!

And then we get a 21 minute Twenty Years Later!!!!

Initial heavy grooving gives way to a slow build move into an extended section of awesome, heavenly bliss. Very slowly and organically over the course of several minutes this slowly morphs into a hard funking yet still feel good jam. This heavy funk is terrific and leads the jam all the way to its conclusion.

Dang! Another absolutely must hear jam!!! Felt like Camel Walk on steroids!!! My truck reviews does not do this justice. It was phenomenal. 

So 20 Years Later concludes and Trey friggin launches right into...BBFCFM! This set is unhinged!!!!!

BBFCFM rages harder than usual and then we get a shock surprise move into a 13 minute Tweezer!!!!!! Tweezer is a fantastic funk fest and delivers the goods. Excellent type 1 rager version. Rock and roll supremacy! Must hear! Destroys worlds!! Oh my freaking god!!!! 10 outta friggin 10!!! Meltdown!!!! MUST HEAR!!!!

Following a needed cooldown with a lovely Shade, Pages Most Events gets us grooving good again. Rocks hard as usual.

A fun Makisupa into a blazing Chalkdust/Suzy combo closes the set in grand fashion.

A+ for effort on the encore!!! Punch, WTU and finally Julius? Sick!!!


All in all this was a spectacular show and easily tied with Charlotte, probably, as the best top to bottom gig so far of the summer. Set 1 was all about the rarities but delivered the heat when needed. Set 2 was one of those incredible X Factor sets that you hope and dream for. Utter perfection and awesomeness.
