A week later and we are on to 8/10/24, Bethel 2
Set 1
The show opens with a typically excellent BOTT. Excellent but
inessential. Same for the following Sample. High energy and rocking but
nothing special.
Thankfully the set pretty much goes straight upwards after these 2!!
We get a FANTASTIC Hey Stranger tonight. A+ all around, this goes on the must hear list.
Even better, we get a shockingly well played Dinner and a
Movie outta friggin nowhere! Trey pretty much nails his parts and this
is easily the best 3.0 version in years, hands down.
Halleys is weird tonight. It SMOKES and rocks like a mother, but they stumble awkwardly to a close with no jam!
Thankfully, they immediately launch into Sand. And, woah boy, this mother effing Sand. HOLY MOTHER OF X FACTOR MAGIC WHY IS THIS SO INCREDIBLE!!!! PEAK AFTER PEAK AFTER PEAK AFTER PEAK!!! Kinda psychedelic, this version EXPLODES beyond the usual hot Sands we are used to. Insane ...
A wonderfully laid back Gumbo follows abd gives us a quick break. Really great version, borderline must hear.
And then into Maze to kick our asses all over again!!!! Maze is
typically destructive. Nothing must hear but terrific all the same.
After a flawless Weigh, we get the jam of the set. A 14 minute Cities
featuring a few different sections and styles. X Factor all over this.
Must hear!!!
A terrific Antelope closes the set. The lengthy intro jam is really nice
and chill and then it explodes and Trey kills us all. Probably must
hear.
All in all, I freakin LOVED this set!!! SO MUCH ENERGY!!! The
playing was very tight and Trey was melting faces left and right
tonight.
Hey Stranger, Dinner, THAT Sand, THAT Cities and probably Antelope are all MUST HEAR!!!!
Set 2
A high energy Wilson is a refreshing opener. They follow that with a
super disappointing 18 minute Disease that does nothing and goes
nowhere...sigh ...
After a great little Waves (that segue!!!!) we go into a mediocre Twist
to seal the crap deal ... Actually, it IS excellent, but once youve
heard 1 eight minute Twist youve heard em all, ya know what I mean? Ill
give it to em though. That was a FANTASTIC version overall. Probably
must hear .....
They follow that with maybe the jam of the night!! A 17 minute KDF that
spends most of its time in synthy looper land exploring the cosmos.
Absolutely spectacular version, definitely MUST HEAR. X Factor all over
this sucker!!!!
After a really nice Sea of Stars and an excellent "peak explosion"
Numberline, the set concludes with a MELT YOUR FRIGGIN FACE OFF Ghost
into Tweeprise. Ghost is must hear. Total annihilation!
Inspired encore of Velvet Sea into a great Runaway Jim!!
All in all, KDF, Twist and Ghost are what you need from this set.
Total energy throughout, it just lacked flow and had a rough start with
that waste of a Disease.mA killer show still, this is deserving of a 4.1 or so, not the paltry 3.7 on .NET.
Great stuff!!!
