2019-07-10 Uncasville, CT - 2024 revisit

 7 10 19 Uncasville #2

Set 1

Always a good sign to get a Buried Alive opener. Shockingly raging version, this one belongs in the must hear pile! Wow!!!!

Cavern into the first Dogs Stole Things since the Dozen follow. Good stuff. Then a VERY strong reading of Sugar Shack - flawless!!!

And then, holy crap on a cracker, the duo of Stash and the greatest Wingsuit ever played.

Stash is 13 minutes of jammed out perfection. Must hear.

But this friggin Wingsuit!!! HOLY MOTHER OF SWEET BABY JESUS! THIS IS PURE, BEAUTIFUL ANNIHILATION!!!! ALL OF MY MUST HEAR!!! IVE HEARD SOME GOOD ONES BUT THIS ONE SLAYS THEM ALL!!!!!!!!!

ALL HAIL OUR LORD AND SAVIOR, THE 7 10 19 WINGSUIT!!!!

Limb By Limb and Gumbo bring us back to earth. Both solid but nothing special.

Stray Dog rocks surprisingly hard but the next must hear is Steam! Its absolutely MOLTEN!!! Truly a must hear rendition!!!!

A strong Bowie closes the set. Really good version!

All in all, Burid Alive, Steam, Stash and Wingsuit are the must haves. This was a great set, if a slight step down from night 1. Rarities galore, but the flow was all over the place. Still very strong but a bit on the chill side. 

Set 2

Solid Party Time opener and a hot CDT get us going. CDT has a great, must hear jam, only its too damn short and gets cut early!! Same goes for the raging Ruby Waves that follows.

FRUSTRATING!!!!

Thankfully they calm down with Seven Below and actually let themselves jam for a solid 7 or 8 excellent minutes. Good stuff.

Unfortunately Stealing Time stops the set dead in its tracks. Good version but terrible placement.

Stealing Time space gives way to ambient type 2 before Trey starts the slow build into a raging Piper. Piper is very strong and worth a listen and the jam eventually winds up turning into a full-blown Ruby waves reprise.

None of this is exactly totally must hear but it's all very very cool.

Strong IAWITW into Drift closes the set.

Very nice encore - the Saw>Kung>Saw is must hear.

All in all an enjoyable listen. There was a lot of greatness, it was just spread too damn thin! It was like a little of this, a little of that when you really wanted a big helping of one thing. Very kinda disjointed show, but the highlights are worth it.

For set 2, Chalkdust and the encore are my picks. Maybe Piper.
