9/19/21 New Haven
Set 1
The show opens with a ripping 12 minute robo funk waterfall delay SYSF. Absolutely smashing, totally must hear. Nuclear!!!
After a hot Olivia, we get another red hot Alive Again. It doesnt top the Portland version but it gets in the ballpark.
Ghost is a smokeshow - guitar god Trey comes out to play and faces are melted. Must hear.
Liquid Time is another must hear. It sounds super rehearsed and album ready. Just terrific!
I Never Left Home follows and is basically an extended psychedelic robofunk jam. Great stuff but maybe not essential.
Set 1 concludes with an excellent 12 minute version of Night Speaks to a Woman. Sick version, must hear.
All in all, this was an excellent, rocking set much more in line
with the Portland show. Great setlist shakeups!!! Still searching for
more "x factor" level renditions ala Portland, but this was still
totally excellent through and through!!!
Grab SYSF, Ghost, Liquid and Night!!!
Set 2
Set 2 begins with a MUST HEAR In Rounds!!! Total perfection, this is
what a "perfect" version, song and jam, sounds like. Extra mustard all
over this. A++
The heat continues into the following Camel Walk. I wont call it must hear, but it totally blazes for sure. Pure fire.
And into a 12 minute Sand. And it is X Factor Magic all the way baby!
Totally must hear, I think it tops the excellent Boston version!
Starting slow and spacey before slowly working to a massive and
thunderous extended peak EXPLOSION. Essential listening!!!!
The fire continues with a raging Curlew. Trey goes full on robot nuclear
annihilation on this sucker. Good lord, someone get me some cool rag!
And from there we move perfectly into the wonderfully trippy Quantegy
for said cooloff.....7 minutes of excellent psychedelic noodling ending
with a great segue into a strong yet ordinary Drifting. Great stuff!!
An excellent and rare Traveler gives way to Mr. Completely to close the
set. Must hear, its absolutely raging and solo filled as expected.
Ether Sunday and First Tube encore.
All in all this was a HOT show with a terrific setlist - great to
see the "rarer" songs slotted in!!! For set 2 I would say In Rounds,
Sand and Mr. C are all must hear but the whole thing really killed!! An
excellent set and a better show than Boston, imo
