Back to 2019 this morning
7 9 19 Uncasville
Set 1
It begins with the spectacular, must hear duo of the return of Energy
straight into a 9 minute Weekapaug!!! Energy goes a solid type 1.5 and
Weekapaug is terrific. Truly some great X Factor stuff!!
An ultra slinky Moma is next. Super dynamic and full of extra mustard. Another must hear.
Then we go into Maze preceeded by Lengthwise! Maze is strong for the era if not entirely essential.
The following Petrichor is really excellent. Its performed nearly
flawlessly and is TIGHT. As with Moma, very dynamic and nuanced. Is any
Petrichor must hear? Eh, maybe, but this would probably qualify.
After a rare Things People Do we get a standard Sample. Really excellent, actually, but nothing essential.
Massive 15 minute Gin to close the set!!! Gin is groovy and relaxed,
taking its time, until eventually it gains traction and positively
explodes to a finale. Not essential but still excellent.
All in all this was an absolutely terrific set!!! Great playing,
excellent flow and set "construction", this felt like a Bakers Dozen set
or something. Not a weak link in the chain!
Set 2
11 minute Soul Planet to open. Soul Planet is killer, spending most of
its time in a bluesy kind if Type 2. Must hear! Eventually the jam
starts to shift naturall and we get....
A perfect segue into the Ghosts song Wider!!!!! What the hell!!!
That was some X Factor Magic!!!! And Wider is awesome, sounding great
off the rip and going Type 2 itself!!!!!
THAT WAS FRIGGIN INCREDIBLE!!!!! WHAT IS EVEN HAPPENING?!?!?
And out of Wider with another A+ segue, this time into Undermind!
Absolutely must hear Type 1 rager. Get it Page!!!! Following a terrific
The Final Hurrah, we receive one of the greatest jams of 3.0 - this 16.5
minute Sea of Stars.
So Beneath a Sea of Stars is one of those indescribable x factor jams
tonight. Multiple sections, beautiful and terrifying all at once.
Constantly on the verge of collapse yet never falling apart.....
Incredible.
And the following Ghost is no slouch. 11 minutes, this one actually
deviates and gets into a great uptempo groove. Definitely different than
most recent ones! Then Trey sees his chance and they launch into a full
blown Weekapaug reprise!!! FREAKING SICK!!!
The jam then resumes and they segue/launch into Birds of a Feather!!!!
Nearly 12 minutes on this one as well. Chaotically ramshackle, this one
shreds hard and teeters on collapse throughout. Its worth a listen - a
definite thrillride!
After a beautiful Waste, a solid Golgi closes the set.
Inspired encore of Foam, Contact and the obligatory More.
My friggin golly what a show!!!! I always remembered this one
sticking out and for good reason. Top 2 or 3 show of the tour, easily.
The Energy>Weekapaug, Moma Dance, Soul Planet>Wider>Undermind
and Beneath a Sea of Stars are all must hear, essential listening!!!
Bonus points to Birds and Foam
